## Communication Protocol
**Source:** `agentic-interaction.json` standard
### Message Types
| Type | Purpose | Response Time |
|------|---------|---------------|
| **handoff** | Phase completion & transition | Same session |
| **question** | Clarification request | Same session |
| **blocker** | Critical issue | Immediate |
| **update** | Progress notification | Async |
| **validation** | Deliverable review | Same session |
| **completion** | Phase finished | Immediate |
### Message Structure
```json
{
"id": "msg_001",
"timestamp": "2025-10-16T12:00:00Z",
"from": "ui_expert",
"to": "project_leader",
"phase": "implementation",
"type": "validation",
"priority": "high",
"subject": "Component review complete",
"message": "Detailed status...",
"status": "posted",
"action_required": "Approve merge"
}
```
### Priority Levels
- **High**: Address within same session
- **Medium**: Address before phase completion
- **Low**: Informational, no immediate action
### Coordination Rules
- โ
Sequential execution (one phase at a time unless parallel authorized)
- โ
Dependency enforcement (Phase N waits for N-1)
- โ
Documentation mandatory (all decisions logged)
- โ
Commit before handoff (all changes committed)
- โ
Coordinator validation (approval before transition)
---
## Integration Methods
### 1. MCP Tools
```typescript
mcp__agents__invoke_ui_expert
mcp__agents__invoke_backend_architect
mcp__agents__invoke_test_engineer
mcp__agents__invoke_security_auditor
```
### 2. Slash Commands
```bash
/ui-review # UI/UX expert review
/framework-migrate # Framework migration specialist
/security-audit # Security vulnerability scan
/performance-check # Performance analysis
/code-review # Code quality review
```
### 3. Automatic Routing
- System analyzes user request
- Determines required expertise
- Routes to appropriate specialist agent
- Returns expert-level response
### 4. Custom Personas
```json
// config/agents/custom-agent.json
{
"id": "custom_agent_1",
"role": "GraphQL Specialist",
"type": "specialist",
"domains": ["graphql", "api", "schema"],
"training": {
"static": "prompts/graphql-expert.txt",
"context": ["docs-mcp://standards/api"]
}
}
```

## Persistence & Tracking
### Database Storage
- **External Database**: Agent context separate from project files
- **Schema**: agents, messages, work_orders, context_snapshots
- **Retention**: Configurable TTL per context type
### Work Order System
```json
{
"work_order_id": "WO-2025-001",
"task_id": "TASK-123",
"agent": "ui_expert",
"project": "my-app",
"status": "completed",
"summary": "Component accessibility audit",
"artifacts": ["audit-report.md", "fixes.patch"],
"completed_at": "2025-10-16T14:30:00Z"
}
```
### Context Persistence
- Session memory across conversations
- Agent collaboration logs
- Decision history tracking
- Archived project integration
- Summarization on completion
