Author agents cognitive posture

To define cognitive postures for CLAUDE.md agents, you fill in a posture template comprising six field signals: pull, tension, blind spot, constraint, move, and anchor. This standardizes agent behavior with example protocols and switching triggers.

A cognitive posture template is a standardized structure for AI agent design that shapes behavior through six field signals: pull, tension, blind spot, constraint, move, and anchor. It yields posture definitions with example behavior and defined protocols.

You create multiple AI agents with distinct behavioral constraints by applying posture templates to define individual pulls, tensions, and anchors. This generates separate CLAUDE.md documents with unique switching triggers and protocols for comprehensive coverage.

You do not need external dependencies to generate CLAUDE.md agent documents. The posture template operates independently, requiring no external libraries to yield posture definitions, example behavior, and switching triggers.

You can use posture templates to design a small agent set like witness, groundwork, and keeper. This enables you to explore problems from multiple cognitive angles and compare results using defined protocols and switching triggers.

The best way to standardize agent governance in CLAUDE.md is using a posture template with six field signals. This ensures consistent governance by requiring each agent to have a complete posture with example behavior and defined protocols.
