SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides continuous, rule-based guidance for claude-plugin agents to align their behavior with swarm safety, tool usage constraints, and model-specific defaults, preventing drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Global rules for agent behavior, tool selection, and safety governance in Claude-plugin workflows.
  • Model-specific defaults to tailor actions for GPT-5.2-code vs Opus 4.5, ensuring consistent decision-making.
  • Testing discipline and coordination guidelines for swarm tasks, including how to spawn subagents and manage prompts.

Quick Start

Activate the always-on guidance during plugin development and runtime to enforce rules across agent actions. For example: Enable global policy with always-on-guidance and verify agent responses against the model-defaults.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent agent behavior drift in multi-agent swarm tasks?

To prevent agent behavior drift, you can apply continuous, rule-based guidance that enforces global rules and safety constraints across multi-agent swarm tasks. This ensures consistent agent actions during complex workflows.

Can I enforce different default rules for GPT-5.2-code and Opus 4.5 models?

Yes, you can enforce different default rules for GPT-5.2-code and Opus 4.5 models. The guidance system applies model-specific defaults to tailor actions and ensure consistent decision-making across different model variants.

What is the best way to coordinate subagents and manage prompts in a swarm?

The best way to coordinate subagents and manage prompts is by using swarm coordination primitives that define testing discipline and global rules. This aligns tool usage and safety governance across all spawned agents.

Does always-on guidance work during both plugin development and runtime?

Yes, always-on guidance works during both plugin development and runtime. Activating it enforces global policy across agent actions, allowing you to verify agent responses against model defaults throughout the lifecycle.
