stigmergic-convention

Stigmergic workflow coordination uses structured signal tables within issue notes, enabling AI agents to orient and act by reading a DAG of machine-readable signals rather than parsing prose summaries.

CUE validation enforces schema correctness for signal tables, ensuring that workflow state data like schema version, cynefin domain, surprise levels, progress, and escalation status remain structurally valid and machine-readable.

Yes, stigmergic signals can manage task progress, identify blockers, and escalate issues automatically by parsing and updating signal tables within issue trackers using a structured machine-readable protocol.

Using a stigmergic convention protocol provides a shared machine-readable context through structured signal tables, allowing multiple agents to coordinate state, escalation, and planning depth without direct communication.

Yes, the stigmergic convention operates with no external dependencies, relying entirely on structured signal tables embedded in issue notes and CUE validation to maintain workflow state integrity.

Stigmergic signal tables are less suitable for simple workflows that do not require tracking complex state variables like cynefin domain, surprise levels, or escalation status, where standard prose updates are sufficient.
