cast-conventions

To enforce consistent agent behavior across a multi-agent swarm, you apply standardized conventions for startup, memory, reporting, and commits. This ensures predictable status reporting and observability across all automated sessions.

The best way to standardize status reporting for automated agents is to mandate a structured Status block in every response and generate machine-readable status files. This provides auditability and predictable orchestration for automation.

You route errors to a debugger agent during automated code generation by enforcing governance conventions that automatically redirect failures. This ensures operational safety and predictable error handling within the agent swarm.

You manage agent memory for predictable developer workflows by requiring agents to load local memory files during startup before beginning work. This standardizes memory usage and maintains context across automated sessions.

No, you do not need to trigger code-review handoffs manually in a CAST swarm. Governance conventions require internal code-reviewer handoffs automatically after each logical unit of change to ensure safe orchestration.

You impose response budget limits for safe agent orchestration by enforcing standardized conventions that restrict response lengths. This prevents runaway processes and ensures predictable operations within automated developer workflows.
