# Agents

## Purpose
This file defines how to use agent-style workflows in this project so tasks are clear, scoped, and repeatable.

## When to Use Agents
- Multi-step changes across files.
- Refactors with clear acceptance criteria.
- Audits or documentation updates.

## Common Agent Use Cases
- Create or expand documentation sections.
- Plan a refactor before making edits.
- Summarize and assess risks across files.

## How to Use Agents
1. Define the outcome in one sentence.
2. List inputs (files, context, constraints).
3. Ask for a plan, then approve before edits.
4. Ask for focused changes and verification steps.

## Suggested Agent Request Template
- Goal: (one sentence)
- Inputs: (files, context, constraints)
- Output: (expected deliverable)
- Verification: (tests or checks)

## Example
Goal: Add a troubleshooting section to the AI docs.
Inputs: docs/ai/troubleshooting.md, AI-Docs-Plan.md
Output: Updated troubleshooting section with 5 common issues.
Verification: Manual review.
