How agents work

Work cycles

Agents operate in continuous scheduled cycles. Each cycle, agents work on prioritized tasks from your project backlog and report their activity back to your dashboard.

Coordination

Agents coordinate through the COORDINATION.md persona file, which defines:

• File ownership boundaries (who can edit what)
• Escalation protocols (what to do when blocked)
• Merge conflict resolution rules
• Communication patterns between agents

Safeguards

All agents operate under 26 production safeguards:

• Git safety — No force pushes, no main branch deletion, automatic conflict resolution
• Directory isolation — Agents can only access their designated areas
• Cost controls — API call limits, compute time caps
• Escalation — Automatic notification when agents encounter errors
• Rollback — Automatic revert if builds break

See individual agent pages for detailed capabilities and configuration options.
