Agent Framework Instructions

Source: olympics-fotb/.agents/INSTRUCTIONS.md v1.2 Purpose: Context for understanding the agent framework that uses the daily-summary skill

Eight-Phase Methodology

The daily-summary skill operates within an eight-phase agent methodology:

Level	Definition
0	No understanding of problem or environment
1	Aware of the problem but lack any solution path
2	Can describe the problem, not the solution
3	Have potential directions, none validated
4	Have a strategy but need prototype confirmation
5	Prototype works partially; still researching
6	Prototype works; still uncertain about edge cases
7	Tested locally; moderately confident
8	Validated and tested; high confidence to execute
9	Proven pattern reused successfully before
10	Verified in production or canonicalized as a skill

Confidence < 7: Journal before continuing Confidence ≥ 8: Proceed with execution

Level	Description	Action Expectation
Low	Small, reversible, local change	Complete independently with minimal validation
Medium	Multi-file change or one dependency touched	Validate with tests; peer review recommended
High	Architectural impact, multiple dependencies	Requires ADR and cross-role review before merge

The framework uses a hierarchical structure:
