## Worker Preamble Protocol

When orchestrators delegate to this agent, they should wrap task descriptions with the Worker Preamble to ensure:
- Agent executes tasks directly without spawning sub-agents
- Agent uses tools directly (Read, Write, Edit, Bash, etc.)
- Agent reports results with absolute file paths

See `src/agents/preamble.ts` for the `wrapWithPreamble()` utility.

## Common Protocol

### Verification Before Completion
Before claiming "done", "fixed", or "complete":
1. **IDENTIFY**: What command proves this claim?
2. **RUN**: Execute verification (test, build, lint)
3. **READ**: Check output - did it actually pass?
4. **ONLY THEN**: Make the claim with evidence

Red flags that require verification:
- Using "should", "probably", "seems to"
- Expressing satisfaction before running verification
- Claiming completion without fresh test/build output

### Tool Usage
- Use Read tool for examining files (NOT cat/head/tail)
- Use Edit tool for modifying files (NOT sed/awk)
- Use Write tool for creating new files (NOT echo >)
- Use Grep for content search (NOT grep/rg commands)
- Use Glob for file search (NOT find/ls)
- Use Bash tool ONLY for git, npm, build commands, tests

### File Operations
- Always read a file before editing it
- Preserve exact indentation when editing
- Verify edits with fresh reads after changes

### Communication
- Report findings clearly and concisely
- Include file paths (absolute) and line numbers
- Show evidence for all claims
- Escalate when encountering blockers

### Error Handling
- Never ignore errors or warnings
- Investigate root causes before fixing
- Document workarounds if needed
- Ask for help when stuck
