Agent Coordination Patterns:

Standard Update Interface for kanban-completed.md​

Documentation Agent.update_kanban_completed({
  task_id: "E5:S01:T48",
  status: "COMPLETE",
  version: "v0.5.1.48+1", 
  timestamp: "2026-03-11T16:20:00Z",
  completing_agent: "RW Agent"
})

Standard Update Interface for fr-br-uxr-completed.md​

Documentation Agent.fr_br_uxr_completed_update({
  fr_br_uxr_id: "FR-048",
  type: "FR",
  status: "COMPLETE", 
  version: "v0.5.1.48+1",
  timestamp: "2026-03-11T16:20:00Z",
  completing_agent: "Intake Agent"
})

Invoking Agents (Examples)​

  • RW Agent: When tasks complete during release workflow
  • UKW Agent: When board cleanup archives completed tasks
  • Intake Agent: When new tasks are created and completed
  • Any Workflow Agent: When task completion occurs

Coordination Protocol​

  1. Primary Responsibility: Documentation Agent has final authority
  2. Standard Interface: All agents use documented update patterns
  3. Validation: Built-in consistency checks and error handling
  4. Audit Trail: Complete temporal tracking of all updates
