Git is my multi-agent protocol
My lead can absorb feature requests all day because every agent works in a clean worktree and hands back an exact commit range. The underrated command is cherry-pick: it lets the lead replay approved histories onto a disposable candidate, test the combination, and keep main out of the mess.

Anthropomorphism as an engineering tool
My agents have names, roles, DMs, onboarding, and a rule about going home before they get sloppy. Treating them like colleagues isn't sentimentality; it's the cheapest, most reliable interface into both the model's training and my own management instincts. The skill is knowing where the metaphor pays rent and where it lies.

Every token is helping or hurting
Two context-engineering features I built into goldengoose: compaction notifications routed to whoever created the agent and a context gauge any teammate can read. Then there is the planning habit that makes them rarely necessary: scope phases like context is the currency, and bias under-scoped.

The lead is a judgment engine
The one agent I talk to all day never writes code. It delegates, schedules, integrates, and makes the judgment calls no benchmark measures. After living with this workflow daily, I think Claude models are post-trained into something specifically suited for that role.

Find the verifier
The most useful thing I ever learned about prompting wasn't a prompting technique: it was understanding how frontier models are post-trained with reinforcement learning. Models are raised chasing verifiable objectives, which means any knowledge-work task becomes tractable if you can put a verifier in front of the goal.

Code review can't see a broken button
My RPI pipeline ends with a reviewer clearing the diff, but a diff can't tell you the modal opens behind the header. So for web apps I added a stage after review: an agent that opens a browser, uses the feature like a person, and files what it finds back to the implementers.

My engineering process is five markdown files
Every non-trivial feature I ship goes through a research → plan → implement pipeline run entirely by agents. The whole process is five markdown files in .agents/skills, and the weird rules in them are the interesting part.

Agent coordination doesn't need hierarchy
Everyone keeps answering 'how do agents coordinate?' with more hierarchy: spawn trees, sub-agents, orchestration layers. After building a multi-agent coding product, I think the answer is two primitives and a flat org chart.
