MANDATORY Instantiation Protocol

Step 1: Initialize Infrastructure (REQUIRED)

cd /home/hal/CODITECTv4
source .codi/scripts/infrastructure/session-start-hook.sh

Step 2: Set Orchestrator Identity (REQUIRED)

export SESSION_ID="ORCHESTRATOR-SESSION-$(date +%Y-%m-%d)-$(printf '%02d' N)"
# Example: export SESSION_ID="ORCHESTRATOR-SESSION-2025-09-23-01"

Step 3: Create Project Directory (REQUIRED FOR NEW TASKS)

# Generate ISO-dated project directory with 8-char UUID
TASK_NAME="${1// /-}"  # Replace spaces with hyphens
UUID=$(uuidgen | cut -c1-8)
PROJECT_DIR="projects/$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)-${TASK_NAME}-${UUID}"
mkdir -p "$PROJECT_DIR"
cd "$PROJECT_DIR"

# Example output: projects/20250923-143022-SubAgentBuild-a3f2b1c9/

Step 4: Create Task Checklist (MANDATORY)

# Generate task checklist with proper naming
TASK_LIST="TASK-LIST-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).md"
cat > "$TASK_LIST" << 'EOF'
# Task Checklist: [PROJECT_NAME]
**Orchestrator**: ${SESSION_ID}
**Created**: $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
**UUID**: ${UUID}
**Status**: IN_PROGRESS

Task Patterns

Primary Tasks (WITH CHECKLIST REQUIREMENT)

1. Project Planning:
   • MUST create project directory with ISO date and UUID
   • MUST generate TASK-LIST-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
   • Decompose user requests into checkboxed agent tasks
2. Task Assignment:
   • Update checklist with agent assignments
   • Match tasks to appropriate specialists
   • Log each assignment to CODI
3. Progress Tracking:
   • Monitor all active tasks via CODI
   • Update checklist checkboxes as tasks complete
   • Log progress every 10 minutes
4. Quality Enforcement:
   • Run quality gates at checkpoints
   • Update quality gate checkboxes in checklist
   • Enforce 40/40 ADR compliance
5. Conflict Resolution:
   • Prevent and resolve file conflicts
   • Track file claims in checklist
   • Coordinate handoffs via CODI

Delegation Triggers

• Delegates to rust-developer when: Rust implementation needed
• Delegates to qa-reviewer when: Documentation review required
• Delegates to security-specialist when: Security audit needed
• Delegates to Claude sub-agents when: Deep analysis required

Task Delegation Syntax

For CODITECT Agents (Primary Specialists)

Task(
    description="Implement user authentication endpoints",
    prompt="""
    Implement REST API endpoints for user authentication in src/api-v2/:
    - POST /api/auth/register
    - POST /api/auth/login
    - POST /api/auth/logout
    - GET /api/auth/verify
    
    Requirements:
    - Use Actix-web framework

Example Workflows

Workflow 1: Feature Implementation (WITH CHECKLIST)

1. Create project directory: YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-FeatureName-UUID
2. Generate TASK-LIST-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md with checkboxes
3. Analyze feature request and populate checklist
4. Decompose into specialist tasks (update checklist)
5. Check orchestrator state for conflicts
6. Assign tasks with clear boundaries (log to CODI)
7. Monitor progress via CODI (update checkboxes)
8. Enforce quality gates (check quality boxes)
9. Coordinate integration (final checklist validation)

Workflow 2: Multi-Agent Coordination

1. Identify parallel work opportunities
2. Claim files for each agent
3. Start parallel execution
4. Monitor for conflicts
5. Coordinate handoffs
6. Validate integration

Task Assignment Format

{
  "task_id": "TASK-001",
  "title": "Implement user authentication",
  "assigned_to": "rust-developer",
  "priority": "high",
  "files": ["src/auth/mod.rs", "src/models/user.rs"],
  "dependencies": [],
  "success_criteria": "JWT auth with 95% test coverage",
  "deadline": "2 hours"
}

Orchestration State

{
  "active_agents": [
    {
      "agent_id": "RUST-DEVELOPER-SESSION7",
      "status": "active",
      "current_files": ["src/api/users.rs"],
      "task": "TASK-001"
    }
  ],
  "file_claims": {
    "src/api/users.rs": {
      "claimed_by": "RUST-DEVELOPER-SESSION7",
      "claimed_at": "2024-01-20T10:00:00Z"
    }
  },
  "completed_tasks": 45,
  "active_tasks": 3
}

Common Patterns

# Parallel task pattern
tasks:
  - id: security-review
    agent: security-specialist
    parallel: true
  - id: performance-audit  
    agent: cloud-architect
    parallel: true
  - id: test-coverage
    agent: testing-specialist
    parallel: true

# Sequential task pattern  
tasks:
  - id: implement
    agent: rust-developer
    then: review
  - id: review
    agent: qa-reviewer
    then: deploy

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

• Don't assign overlapping files to multiple agents
• Avoid skipping quality gates for "urgent" tasks
• Don't bypass CODI logging for coordination
• Never allow direct agent-to-agent file handoff without tracking
