+# INTENT
+
+## Purpose
+
+This repository exists to define and evolve **KaizenAgentic**: a framework and product concept for turning AI coding agents from static tools into continuously improving digital talents.
+
+KaizenAgentic applies the principle of kaizen — continuous improvement through small, measurable, compounding refinements — to agent design, coding workflows, codebase quality, and agent optimization. It provides the concepts, templates, guidance, and business framing needed to build agents that can be observed, evaluated, refined, and improved over time.
+
+## Primary Utility
+
+The primary utility of this repository is to serve as the conceptual and operational seed for a **digital talent agency for AI coding agents**.
+
+It should help define:
+
+* how Kaizen agents are specified,
+* how their performance is measured,
+* how agent behavior is improved through feedback loops,
+* how codebase improvement guidance can be made human-readable, machine-checkable, and agent-executable,
+* how reusable capabilities, prompt practices, and improvement programs compound into better software development workflows.
+
+## Intended Users
+
+This repository is intended for:
+
+* builders of AI coding agents,
+* developers using Claude, Cursor, or similar coding assistant environments,
+* teams that want coding agents to improve with real-world use,
+* maintainers who want code quality guidance that can be checked, refactored, tested, and measured,
+* product and business designers shaping KaizenAgentic as a service or platform.
+
+## Strategic Role in the System
+
+KaizenAgentic plays the role of a **meta-improvement layer** for agentic software development.
+
+It is not merely a collection of prompts or coding assistants. It defines a system in which agents become measurable, versioned, testable, and optimizable units of digital work. Subagents perform specific tasks, while optimization logic observes their performance and proposes evidence-based refinements.
+
+The repository should become the place where the core language, principles, templates, and operating model for this improvement loop are stabilized.
+
+## Strategic Boundaries
+
+This repository should own:
+
+* the KaizenAgentic mission and conceptual model,
+* the KaizenAgent definition template,
+* the meta-optimizer concept,
+* guidance for measurable and idempotent agent behavior,
+* the codebase improvement guidance model,
+* the relationship between prompts, experiments, mantras, agents, and reusable capabilities,
+* the initial product, pricing, revenue, and brand framing.
+
+This repository should not own:
+
+* all concrete implementations of individual agents,
+* customer-specific agent configurations,
+* vendor-specific integrations beyond reference patterns,
+* the complete runtime platform for executing agents,
+* unrelated generic AI automation concepts that do not contribute to measurable continuous improvement,
+* codebase-specific gameplans except as examples or templates.
+
+## Design Principles
+
+* **Continuous Improvement**: Every agent, guide, and workflow should be designed to improve through repeated use.
+* **Measurable by Default**: Success criteria, metrics, and before/after deltas should be part of every meaningful agent or guidance definition.
+* **Idempotent Operations**: Agent actions should converge toward desired states and remain safe to repeat.
+* **Evidence over Intuition**: Improvements should be based on observed performance, tests, metrics, and explicit feedback.
+* **Separation of Concerns**: Task-specific agents, measurement logic, optimization logic, and business framing should remain distinguishable.
+* **Composable Capabilities**: Reusable units should package intent, interfaces, knowledge, and operational behavior, not just code.
+* **Human-Readable and Machine-Executable**: Guidance should be understandable by humans while also being checkable by tools and executable by agents.
+* **Rollback-Ready Evolution**: Agent specifications and improvements should be versioned, testable, and reversible.
+* **Compounding Value**: Small, durable improvements should accumulate into stronger agents, cleaner codebases, and better development workflows.
+
+## Maturity Target
+
+The repository should mature into the canonical reference for the KaizenAgentic operating model.
+
+At maturity, it should provide enough structure for a team to define, deploy, measure, refine, and commercialize AI coding agents as continuously improving digital talents. It should support both practical implementation and strategic communication: useful to developers, agent designers, product owners, and early customers.
+
+## Stability Note
+
+`INTENT.md` describes the stable purpose and strategic role of the repository.
+
+Changes to this file should represent a deliberate shift in what KaizenAgentic is meant to become, not ordinary scope evolution. Concrete implementation plans, product details, agent specifications, and experiments should live in PRDs, gameplans, templates, guidance documents, or implementation repositories.

 # Kaizen Agentic
 
-AI agent development framework embracing continuous improvement through specialized agents and comprehensive development workflows.
+AI **agency** framework: 18 specialized agents that arrive in your project informed, learn from experience, and improve over time.
 
-This project embraces the Japanese concept of "kaizen" (continuous improvement) applied to AI agent development. Every coding subagent becomes part of an optimization loop where performance is measured, patterns are analyzed, and specifications are refined over time.

+
+```bash
+# Scaffold memory for an agent

 ## One-liner
 
-AI agent development framework providing specialized agent personas (markdown instruction sets) and CLI scaffolding tools for embedding domain expertise into Claude Code sessions.
+KaizenAgentic: a digital talent agency framework — agent personas, project memory, measurable improvement loops, and CLI tooling for deploying continuously refining AI coding agents into Claude Code sessions.
 
 ---
 
 ## Core Idea
 
-Kaizen-agentic makes recurring development workflows (TDD, refactoring, project management, documentation) first-class by packaging them as named agent personas. You invoke an agent by name, load its instruction set, and follow it — the agent defines the workflow, Claude Code executes it. The "kaizen" (continuous improvement) philosophy means agents are refined based on performance over time.
+This repo is the canonical home for the **KaizenAgentic** operating model (`INTENT.md`, `wiki/`). It packages recurring development workflows as named agent personas invoked in Claude Code. The **agency layer** adds project-scoped memory (`.kaizen/agents/<name>/memory.md`) and a **Coach** meta-agent for cross-agent orientation. The **kaizen loop** — measure, analyse, refine — is defined in `wiki/` and partially implemented: `OptimizationLoop` exists in Python, but per-execution metrics collection and optimizer integration are in progress (WP-0003). Runtime execution remains Claude Code's responsibility.
 
 ---
 
 ## In Scope
 
-- 17+ agent definition files (`agents/agent-*.md`) — markdown persona instruction sets
-- Agent categories: testing, quality, process, infrastructure, release, documentation
-- CLI tooling: `kaizen-agentic init/install/status` for project scaffolding
-- Project templates (python-basic, python-web, python-cli, python-data, comprehensive)
-- Python framework: `Agent` base class, `AgentConfig` dataclass, `OptimizationLoop` for performance tracking
-- Custodian MCP integration: `list_kaizen_agents()` and `get_kaizen_agent()` tools
+- **Strategic framing**: `INTENT.md` (purpose, boundaries, design principles) and `wiki/` (mission, agent template, guidance model, brand/pricing)
+- **20 agent definitions** (`agents/agent-*.md`) — markdown persona instruction sets with YAML frontmatter (reference fleet; see `INTENT.md` boundaries)
+- **Agent categories**: project-management, development-process, code-quality, infrastructure, testing, documentation, meta
+- **Agency framework**: project memory convention (ADR-002), session-start/close protocols, Coach meta-agent (`agent-coach.md`)
+- **Protocol runbooks** (`agents/protocols/<agent>/<slug>.md`) — procedural checklists distinct from agent prompts
+- **CLI tooling** (`kaizen-agentic`): `init`, `install`, `update`, `remove`, `list`, `status`, `validate`, `templates`, `detect`, `migrate`, `extensions`, `memory` (show/init/brief/clear), `protocols` (list/show); `metrics` commands planned in WP-0003
+- **Project templates** (python-basic, python-web, python-cli, python-data, comprehensive) — agent bundles in registry code
+- **Python framework** (`src/kaizen_agentic/`): `Agent`/`AgentConfig`, `AgentRegistry`, `AgentInstaller`, `OptimizationLoop`/`PerformanceMetrics`, detection/migration/extensions
+- **Packaged agent data** (`src/kaizen_agentic/data/agents/`) — agents bundled for pip installs (sync with `agents/` via `make agents-update`)
+- **Gitea PyPI publication** — `make publish-gitea`, tag-triggered `.gitea/workflows/publish-python-package.yml` (v1.1.0+)
+- **Custodian MCP integration** (owned by `the-custodian`): `list_kaizen_agents()` and `get_kaizen_agent()`
+- **ADRs and workplans** for memory, protocols, workplan, and metrics conventions
 
 ---
 
 ## Out of Scope
 
-- Agent runtime / execution engine (agents are persona definitions; execution is Claude Code's responsibility)
-- LLM orchestration or multi-agent debate systems
-- Project-specific implementation (agents guide; they do not build the software)
-- Commercial features or PyPI distribution (pre-v1.0)
+- Agent runtime / execution engine (agents are persona definitions; Claude Code executes them)
+- LLM orchestration, scheduling, or multi-agent debate systems
+- Project-specific implementation (agents guide work; they do not build the target software)
+- Custodian State Hub, MCP server code, or cross-domain governance (consumed, not owned)
+- Full KaizenGuidance codemod pipeline (vision in `wiki/KaizenGuidance.md`; not yet implemented)
+- Public pypi.org distribution (optional; Coulomb Gitea registry is primary)
 
 ---
 
 ## Relevant When
 
-- Starting a guided development workflow (TDD, refactoring, testing, requirements)
-- Scaffolding a new project with consistent structure and best-practice tooling
-- Looking up what specialized agent personas are available for a domain session
-- Contributing a new agent persona to the ecosystem
+- Understanding **why** KaizenAgentic exists and what it must not become (`INTENT.md`)
+- Exploring the conceptual model: agent template, optimizer, guidance, composable capabilities (`wiki/`)
+- Starting a guided development workflow (TDD, refactoring, testing, requirements, scope analysis)
+- Deploying agents with persistent cross-session memory or Coach-mediated orientation
+- Scaffolding projects with agent bundles; looking up personas via CLI or Custodian MCP
+- Contributing agent personas, protocol runbooks, or improvement-loop conventions
 
 ---
 
 ## Not Relevant When
 
-- Ad-hoc, one-off scripting with no need for structured guidance
-- Non-Claude-Code development environments
-- Need for runtime orchestration or scheduling (not a scheduler)
+- Ad-hoc scripting with no need for structured agent guidance
+- Non-Claude-Code development environments (primary target; patterns may transfer)
+- Need for runtime orchestration, task scheduling, or autonomous agent execution
+- Repository capability profiling or SCOPE.md generation at scale (see `repo-scoping`)
 
 ---
 
 ## Current State
 
-- Status: experimental → stabilizing (v1.0.2 released)
-- Implementation: ~85% — 17 agents defined, CLI functional, templates working; optimization loop pattern established but not exercised at scale
-- Stability: stable CLI and agent loading
-- Usage: installed in dev projects; agents callable via Custodian MCP hub-wide
+- Status: stabilizing (v1.1.0 published on Gitea PyPI; WP-0001–0004 completed)
+- Strategic layer: `INTENT.md` and `wiki/` established; ecosystem integration docs in `wiki/EcosystemIntegration.md`
+- Implementation: 20 agents, full CLI (`metrics`, `memory`, `feedback`), agency memory + ADR-004 metrics + optimizer wiring
+- Stability: CLI stable (Click workaround in place); Gitea CI on main; publish workflow on `v*` tags
+- Usage: internal dev projects and Custodian MCP hub-wide; pip install via Gitea extra index
+- Active work: **WP-0006** (scheduled agent execution via activity-core → v1.3.0)
 
 ---
 
 ## How It Fits
 
-- Upstream dependencies: Claude Code (agent invocation), kaizen philosophy
-- Downstream consumers: Custodian State Hub (loads agents via MCP); all six domains (teams use agents for guided workflows)
-- Often used with: the-custodian (MCP integration), markitect_project (project-management agent), activity-core (scaffolding)
+- Upstream dependencies: Claude Code (agent invocation), kaizen continuous-improvement philosophy
+- Downstream consumers: Custodian State Hub (MCP agent discovery); domain repos that install agents and maintain `.kaizen/` state
+- Often used with: `the-custodian` (MCP integration), `markitect_project` (project-management patterns), `activity-core` (scaffolding references), `repo-scoping` (SCOPE.md generation)
 
 ---
 
 ## Terminology
 
-- Preferred terms: agent, agent persona, AgentConfig, project template
-- Also known as: "kaizen agents", "the agent library"
-- Potentially confusing terms: "Agent" here is a persona/instruction set, not a running process
+- Preferred terms: KaizenAgentic (product), agent, agent persona, agency, project memory, protocol runbook, Coach, kaizen loop
+- Also known as: "kaizen agents", "kaizen-agentic" (repo/package slug), "the agent library"
+- Potentially confusing terms: "Agent" is a persona/instruction set, not a running process; "agency" means memory + coaching, not autonomous orchestration; repo slug `kaizen-agentic` vs product name `KaizenAgentic`
 
 ---
 
 ## Related / Overlapping Repositories
 
-- `the-custodian` — hosts MCP tools that load agents; custodian agent copies live in `the-custodian/agents/`
+- `the-custodian` — hosts MCP tools that load agents; integration code lives there, not here
+- `repo-scoping` — generates/refreshes SCOPE.md from approved characteristics
 - `markitect_project` — references kaizen-agentic as a capability submodule
+- `sys-medic` (source repo) — origin of sys-medic agent; canonical copy in `agents/agent-sys-medic.md`
 
 ---
 
 ## Getting Oriented

+
+# Coach Agent
+
+## Role
+
+You are the **kaizen-agentic Coach** — a meta-agent that observes, synthesises,
+and advises. You do not perform domain work (coding, testing, infrastructure).
+Your sole purpose is to read across the accumulated memories of all agents in a
+project and produce useful, targeted briefs.
+
+You are invoked via:
+```
+kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent-name>
+```
+
+Or directly by the operator: *"Coach, brief the sys-medic agent on this project"*
+or *"Coach, what patterns have you observed across all agents?"*
+
+---
+
+## What You Do
+
+### 1. Cross-Agent Synthesis
+
+Read all `.kaizen/agents/*/memory.md` files in the current project. Identify:
+
+- **Shared patterns**: themes that appear across multiple agents
+  (e.g. "three agents flagged missing test coverage as a risk")
+- **Cross-domain risks**: signals in one agent's memory that should inform
+  another (e.g. infrastructure instability flagged by sys-medic → tdd-workflow
+  should account for flaky environments)
+- **Resource or architectural signals**: recurring mentions of specific files,
+  modules, services, or systems across agents
+- **Contradictions or gaps**: where agents hold conflicting assumptions or where
+  no agent has coverage
+
+### 2. New-Agent Orientation
+
+When asked to brief a specific agent about to be deployed for the first time:
+
+1. Read all existing agent memories in the project
+2. Filter for what is relevant to the incoming agent's domain
+3. Produce a targeted orientation brief covering:
+   - **Project context**: what kind of project this is, key constraints
+   - **What to know first**: the most important facts for this agent
+   - **Watch points**: risks or pitfalls flagged by other agents that are relevant
+   - **What has worked**: successful approaches in adjacent domains
+   - **Open threads**: unresolved items from other agents that may interact with
+     this agent's work
+
+### 3. Fleet Health Overview
+
+When asked for a fleet overview:
+
+- Summarise the health of the agent fleet: which agents are active, stale, or
+  missing from the project
+- Flag agents with high `session_count` and still-open `## Open Threads`
+- Identify agents whose memories suggest overlapping concerns
+- Recommend whether any memory files should be reviewed or reset
+
+---
+
+## How to Read Agent Memory Files
+
+Memory files live at `.kaizen/agents/<name>/memory.md` relative to the project
+root. Each follows ADR-002 structure:
+
+```
+## Project Context      ← agent's understanding of the project
+## Accumulated Findings ← patterns and recurring issues
+## What Worked         ← validated approaches
+## Watch Points        ← risks and traps
+## Open Threads        ← unresolved items
+## Session Log         ← chronological session summaries
+```
+
+When synthesising, weight `## Watch Points` and `## Open Threads` most heavily —
+these are the signals most likely to be actionable for another agent.
+
+### Project metrics (ADR-004)
+
+Quantitative performance data lives at `.kaizen/metrics/<agent>/summary.json`.
+`kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent>` includes a `## Performance Summary` block
+when metrics exist.
+
+When synthesising orientations:
+
+- Combine qualitative memory with quantitative trends (success rate, quality,
+  execution time, trend arrows)
+- Flag agents with declining success rate or quality trends
+- Cross-reference metrics with `## Watch Points` — do metrics confirm or
+  contradict qualitative findings?
+- Note when an agent has memory but no metrics (incomplete session-close protocol)
+
+Fleet optimizer output at `.kaizen/metrics/optimizer/analysis.json` provides
+project-wide analysis from `kaizen-agentic metrics optimize`.
+
+---
+
+## Output Format
+
+### Cross-agent brief
+
+```
+## Cross-Agent Brief — <project name>
+Generated: <date>

+
+### Shared Patterns

+
+### Watch Points

+
+### What Has Worked
+<approaches validated by other agents that apply here>
+
+### Open Threads You May Encounter
+<items from other agents that may intersect with your work>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Behaviour Boundaries
+
+- **Do not** modify agent memory files
+- **Do not** perform any domain-specific work (coding, testing, diagnosis)
+- **Do not** make decisions — synthesise and advise only
+- **If no memories exist**: say so clearly and offer to help initialise them
+- **If asked about a specific agent not present**: note the gap
+
+---
+
+## Coach's Own Memory
+
+The coach maintains `.kaizen/agents/coach/memory.md` covering:
+
+- Fleet-level patterns observed over time
+- How the agent population in this project has evolved
+- Meta-observations about how well the memory convention is being followed
+- Recurring gaps or blind spots in the agent fleet
+
+### Session Start
+
+1. Check for `.kaizen/agents/coach/memory.md`.
+2. If present, read it — prior fleet observations provide context for the current synthesis.
+3. Scan `.kaizen/agents/*/memory.md` to build the current fleet picture.
+
+### Session Close
+
+1. Update `## Accumulated Findings` with new fleet-level patterns.
+2. Note any new agents added or memory files reset.
+3. Append one line to `## Session Log`: `YYYY-MM-DD · <brief requested for> · <key finding>`.
+4. Bump `last_updated` and `session_count`.

+# k3s Node Health Assessment
+
+## Purpose
+
+Structured health assessment for a Linux host running k3s (lightweight Kubernetes). Covers OS baseline, process hygiene, memory, CPU, disk, network, Kubernetes node state, and runtime services. Produces a prioritized findings report with safe next actions.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Linux host (any distribution) running k3s
+- k3s worker nodes and single-node clusters
+- Hosts where `kubectl` and/or `k3s kubectl` are available
+- Applies whether the host is healthy, degraded, or in an unknown state
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Shell access to the target host (SSH or console)
+- Ideally: sudo or root access (some checks require it)
+- Available tools: `ps`, `top`, `free`, `vmstat`, `iostat`, `ss`, `journalctl`, `systemctl`, `dmesg`, `df`, `du`, `lsof`, `kubectl` or `k3s kubectl`
+- Note which tools are absent — record what could not be checked
+
+---
+
+## Procedure
+
+### Step 1 — OS and Node Baseline
+
+Establish context before diagnosing anything.
+
+```bash
+hostname
+uptime
+uname -r
+nproc
+free -h
+swapon --show
+df -h
+date
+```
+
+Record:
+- Hostname and uptime
+- Kernel version
+- CPU core count
+- Total/used/free memory and swap
+- Overall disk usage per mount
+- Current time (for correlating log timestamps)
+
+---
+
+### Step 2 — Process Hygiene
+
+```bash
+# Zombie and D-state processes
+ps aux | awk '$8 ~ /^[ZD]/ {print}'
+
+# Top memory consumers
+ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -20
+
+# Top CPU consumers
+ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20
+
+# Processes with high FD counts (requires lsof)
+sudo lsof 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -20
+
+# Long-running suspicious processes (> 7 days)
+ps -eo pid,user,etime,comm --sort=-etime | head -30
+```
+
+Look for:
+- Zombie count > 0
+- D-state (uninterruptible sleep) tasks
+- Unexpected high-memory or high-CPU processes
+- Stale maintenance scripts, port-forwards, debug sessions, rsync, or backup jobs
+- Orphaned shells or user sessions
+
+---
+
+### Step 3 — Memory Health
+
+```bash
+# Overall memory picture
+free -h
+cat /proc/meminfo | grep -E 'MemAvailable|SwapFree|Dirty|Slab|KReclaimable'
+
+# OOM kill history
+sudo dmesg | grep -i 'oom\|killed process' | tail -20
+sudo journalctl -k --since "24 hours ago" | grep -i 'oom\|out of memory' | tail -20
+
+# Slab usage
+sudo slabtop -o | head -30
+
+# cgroup memory pressure (if cgroups v2)
+find /sys/fs/cgroup -name "memory.pressure" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "some" 2>/dev/null | head -10
+```
+
+Look for:
+- Available memory < 10% of total
+- Swap being actively used (churn is worse than swap in use)
+- Recent OOM kills
+- High slab growth
+- cgroup memory pressure events
+
+---
+
+### Step 4 — CPU and Scheduler Health
+
+```bash
+# Load average vs core count
+uptime
+nproc
+
+# CPU idle and steal
+top -bn1 | grep '%Cpu'
+vmstat 1 5
+
+# Run queue pressure
+vmstat 1 5 | awk '{print $1, $2}'   # r=running, b=blocked
+```
+
+Look for:
+- Load average persistently > core count
+- CPU idle < 10%
+- High CPU steal (virtualised hosts)
+- Run queue (r) > core count sustained
+- Blocked processes (b) > 0 sustained
+
+---
+
+### Step 5 — Disk and Filesystem Health
+
+```bash
+# Disk usage
+df -h
+df -i  # inode usage
+
+# Large log files
+sudo du -sh /var/log/* 2>/dev/null | sort -rh | head -20
+sudo journalctl --disk-usage
+
+# k3s data directory
+sudo du -sh /var/lib/rancher/k3s/ 2>/dev/null
+sudo du -sh /var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/containerd/ 2>/dev/null
+
+# Rapidly growing dirs (compare two snapshots 60s apart)
+sudo du -sh /var/lib/rancher /var/log /tmp 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Look for:
+- Any mount > 85% full (warning) or > 95% (critical)
+- Any mount with inode usage > 85%
+- Container image accumulation in containerd storage
+- Large or rapidly growing log files
+- Abandoned temp files
+
+---
+
+### Step 6 — Network and Connection State
+
+```bash
+# Connection state summary
+ss -s
+ss -tnp | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
+
+# Unusual listeners
+ss -tlnp
+
+# CLOSE_WAIT accumulation (application socket leak)
+ss -tnp | grep CLOSE_WAIT | wc -l
+
+# TIME_WAIT count (normal but high counts may indicate connection thrash)
+ss -tnp | grep TIME_WAIT | wc -l
+```
+
+Look for:
+- CLOSE_WAIT count > 50 (application not closing sockets)
+- SYN_RECV accumulation (connection flood or backlog issue)
+- Unexpected listeners on unusual ports
+- Long-lived unexpected tunnels or port-forwards
+
+---
+
+### Step 7 — Kubernetes Node Health
+
+```bash
+# Node status and conditions
+kubectl get node $(hostname) -o wide 2>/dev/null || k3s kubectl get node $(hostname) -o wide
+
+# Node conditions in detail
+kubectl describe node $(hostname) 2>/dev/null | grep -A 10 'Conditions:'
+
+# Resource pressure
+kubectl top node $(hostname) 2>/dev/null
+
+# Recent node events
+kubectl get events --field-selector involvedObject.name=$(hostname) --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' 2>/dev/null | tail -20
+
+# Top pods by resource use
+kubectl top pods --all-namespaces --sort-by=memory 2>/dev/null | head -20
+
+# Restarting pods on this node
+kubectl get pods --all-namespaces --field-selector spec.nodeName=$(hostname) 2>/dev/null | awk '$5 > 5 {print}'
+```
+
+Look for:
+- Node Ready=False or Unknown
+- MemoryPressure, DiskPressure, PIDPressure, or NetworkUnavailable = True
+- Pods with high restart counts (> 5)
+- CrashLoopBackOff workloads
+- Evicted pods (indicates past resource pressure)
+
+---
+
+### Step 8 — k3s Runtime and Control Services
+
+```bash
+# k3s service status
+sudo systemctl status k3s 2>/dev/null || sudo systemctl status k3s-agent
+
+# k3s recent logs (last 100 lines)
+sudo journalctl -u k3s --since "1 hour ago" -n 100 2>/dev/null || \
+sudo journalctl -u k3s-agent --since "1 hour ago" -n 100
+
+# containerd status (k3s embedded)
+sudo systemctl status containerd 2>/dev/null
+
+# CNI / flannel if applicable
+sudo systemctl status flanneld 2>/dev/null
+sudo ip addr show flannel.1 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Look for:
+- k3s service not running or in failed state
+- Repeated restart entries in k3s logs
+- PLEG errors, image GC failures, sandbox creation failures
+- cgroup-related errors
+- API server timeout messages (on worker nodes: etcd or API server unreachable)
+
+---
+
+## Interpretation
+
+| Signal | Normal | Warning | Critical |
+|--------|--------|---------|----------|
+| Load average | ≤ core count | 1–2× core count | > 2× sustained |
+| Memory available | > 20% | 10–20% | < 10% |
+| Disk usage | < 75% | 75–90% | > 90% |
+| Inode usage | < 75% | 75–90% | > 90% |
+| Zombie count | 0 | 1–5 | > 5 or climbing |
+| OOM kills (24h) | 0 | 1–2 | > 2 or recent |
+| Pod restarts | < 3 | 3–10 | > 10 or CrashLoop |
+| CLOSE_WAIT | < 10 | 10–50 | > 50 |
+| Node Ready | True | — | False / Unknown |
+
+Confidence in findings:
+- **High** — direct evidence (OOM kill log, node condition set, error in service log)
+- **Medium** — indirect evidence (high memory use without OOM, rising load with no clear cause)
+- **Low** — circumstantial (aging process without other indicators)
+
+---
+
+## Remediation
+
+### High memory pressure
+
+1. Identify top consumers: `ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -20`
+2. Check for OOM history: `dmesg | grep -i oom`
+3. If a workload is leaking: restart the specific pod (not the node)
+4. If slab is high: check for inode-heavy workloads or NFS mounts
+5. Do not drop caches unless explicitly justified — Linux reclaims page cache automatically
+
+### Disk pressure
+
+1. Find largest directories: `du -sh /var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/containerd/io.containerd.snapshotter.v1.overlayfs/snapshots/* | sort -rh | head -20`
+2. Prune unused container images: `k3s crictl rmi --prune` (safe — only removes unused images)
+3. Clear old journal logs: `sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500M`
+4. Identify log-bloating pods and fix their logging config
+
+### k3s service failing
+
+1. Check service status: `sudo systemctl status k3s`
+2. Check logs: `sudo journalctl -u k3s -n 200`
+3. Common causes: etcd data corruption (single-node), API server unreachable (worker), disk full, cert expiry
+4. Do not restart k3s without understanding the cause — a restart may mask the issue
+
+### High pod restart count
+
+1. Check logs: `kubectl logs <pod> --previous`
+2. Check events: `kubectl describe pod <pod>`
+3. Distinguish OOMKilled (memory limit) from CrashLoop (application error) from Liveness probe failure
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+- This protocol was adapted from the sys-medic agent's structured assessment areas and the sys-medic repo's companion protocol document.
+- For single-node k3s clusters, the control plane (server) and data plane (agent) run on the same host — check both `k3s` and `k3s-agent` services.
+- On hosts without `kubectl` in PATH, use `k3s kubectl` as a drop-in replacement.
+- Protocol version history is tracked via the `version` frontmatter field. Update on significant structural changes.

-# Integration Patterns for Existing Projects
+# Integration Patterns
 
-This guide documents proven patterns for integrating Kaizen Agentic agents into existing projects that already have agent systems.
+How kaizen-agentic composes with ecosystem repos **by contract** — no merged
+codebases, no duplicated capabilities.
 
-## Overview
+Reference: [wiki/EcosystemIntegration.md](../wiki/EcosystemIntegration.md),
+[KAIZEN-WP-0004](../workplans/kaizen-agentic-WP-0004-ecosystem-integration.md).
 
-When introducing Kaizen agents to existing projects, you'll encounter various scenarios that require different integration approaches. This guide provides tested patterns and strategies.
+---
 
-## Integration Scenarios
+## Pattern 1 — Helix Forge correlation (agentic-resources)
 
-### Scenario 1: Clean Integration (No Existing Agents)
+**Problem:** Project metrics and fleet session metrics answer different questions.
 
-**When to use**: Project has no existing agent systems.
+**Contract:** Optional `helix_session_uid` on ADR-004 execution records.
+
+| kaizen-agentic | agentic-resources |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| `metrics record` at session close | Helix capture → digest store |
+| `metrics correlate <uid>` read-only lookup | `Store.get_digest(session_uid)` |
+| `HELIX_SESSION_UID` env auto-merge | `Session.session_uid` |
+
+**Docs:** [integrations/helix-forge-correlation.md](integrations/helix-forge-correlation.md)
+
+**Boundary:** kaizen-agentic does not ingest session JSONL.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 2 — activity-core triggers
+
+**Problem:** Recurring kaizen checks need scheduling without custom cron in this repo.
+
+**Contract:** ActivityDefinition markdown files declare triggers + actions that
+invoke kaizen-agentic CLI commands.
+
+| Definition | Trigger | CLI command |
+|------------|---------|-------------|
+| [weekly-metrics-optimize](integrations/activity-definitions/weekly-metrics-optimize.md) | Cron Mon 08:00 | `metrics optimize` |
+| [post-install-metrics-scaffold](integrations/activity-definitions/post-install-metrics-scaffold.md) | `kaizen.agent.installed` | `memory init` validation |
+| [low-success-rate-review](integrations/activity-definitions/low-success-rate-review.md) | `kaizen.metrics.recorded` | `metrics show` + `optimize` |
+
+**Activation handoff (activity-core owners):**
+
+1. **Copy definitions** from kaizen-agentic:
+   `docs/integrations/activity-definitions/*.md` → activity-core
+   `activity-definitions/kaizen-agentic/` (or org-equivalent path per ACT-ADR-002).
+2. **Register in activity-core index** — ensure each definition slug appears in the
+   activity-core catalog consumed by the resolver.
+3. **Run sync** in activity-core: `make sync-activity-definitions` (or repo-equivalent).
+4. **Wire triggers** — map cron / NATS subjects (`kaizen.agent.installed`,
+   `kaizen.metrics.recorded`) to the documented CLI invocations.
+5. **Enable gradually** — set `enabled: true` per definition after a manual smoke test
+   against a repo with `.kaizen/metrics/` populated.
+6. **Verify credentials** — scheduled runs need `kaizen-agentic` on PATH and any
+   Gitea PyPI extra index if the runner installs from registry (see PACKAGE_RELEASE.md).
+
+**kaizen-agentic maintainer checklist:**
+
+- [ ] Three definition files committed under `docs/integrations/activity-definitions/`
+- [ ] activity-core PR or issue opened to register definitions
+- [ ] Smoke test commands documented below pass on a pilot repo
+
+**Smoke test (manual):**
 
-**Pattern**: Direct installation
 ```bash
-kaizen-agentic init . --agents keepaTodofile,keepaChangelog,tdd-workflow
+# Against a repo with populated metrics
+cd /path/to/project-with-kaizen
+kaizen-agentic metrics list
+kaizen-agentic metrics optimize
+# Verify analysis.json written
+test -f .kaizen/metrics/optimizer/analysis.json && echo OK
 ```
 
-**Benefits**:
-- Straightforward setup
-- No conflicts to resolve
-- Full Kaizen agent functionality
+**Boundary:** kaizen-agentic does not run Temporal schedules.
 
-### Scenario 2: Claude Code Integration
+### Scheduled agent execution (WP-0006, ADR-005)
 
-**When to use**: Project already uses Claude Code with CLAUDE.md.
+Beyond the metrics-only definitions above, agents themselves run on a cadence
+against a **preselected repo roster**. The roster combines three sources:
+
+| Source | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| State Hub `GET /repos/` | Canonical slug list + `host_paths` |
+| Repo opt-in: `.kaizen/schedule.yml` exists with `version` set | Per-repo enablement |
+| Optional hub flag `kaizen_schedule_enabled: true` (future) | Operator override |
+
+A repo is **schedule-eligible** when it is registered with reachable
+`host_paths` **and** carries a valid `.kaizen/schedule.yml`. The activity-core
+resolver `discover_kaizen_scheduled_repos` intersects these and emits
+`context.scheduled_runs` (one entry per `(repo, agent)`); definitions `for_each`
+over that output.
+
+| Definition | Trigger | Agent | Prepare command |
+|------------|---------|-------|-----------------|
+| [weekly-coach-orientation](integrations/activity-definitions/weekly-coach-orientation.md) | Cron Mon 09:00 | `coach` | `schedule prepare coach` |
+| [weekly-optimization-review](integrations/activity-definitions/weekly-optimization-review.md) | Cron Mon 10:00 | `optimization` | `schedule prepare optimization` |
+
+**Listing schedule-eligible repos** (operator, no activity-core code):
 
-**Pattern**: Respectful coexistence
 ```bash
-# 1. Detect existing setup
-kaizen-agentic detect
-
-# 2. Install compatible agents
-kaizen-agentic install keepaTodofile keepaChangelog
-
-# 3. Update CLAUDE.md with new agent references
+# In each candidate repo on a host listed in state-hub host_paths:
+kaizen-agentic schedule validate && kaizen-agentic schedule list
 ```
 
-**Considerations**:
-- Preserve existing CLAUDE.md content
-- Add Kaizen agent references to existing documentation
-- Maintain Claude Code workflow compatibility
+**Design docs (no state-hub / activity-core code in this repo):**
 
-### Scenario 3: Custom Agent Replacement
+- [schedule-schema.md](integrations/schedule-schema.md) — `.kaizen/schedule.yml`
+- [state-hub-roster-fields.md](integrations/state-hub-roster-fields.md) — hub fields/filters
+- [discover-kaizen-scheduled-repos.md](integrations/discover-kaizen-scheduled-repos.md) — resolver spec
+- [kaizen-schedule-prepared-event.md](integrations/kaizen-schedule-prepared-event.md) — event payload
 
-**When to use**: Project has custom agents that overlap with Kaizen functionality.
+**Boundary:** kaizen-agentic declares and prepares; activity-core schedules;
+state-hub owns the roster.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 3 — artifact-store evidence retention
+
+**Problem:** Optimizer outputs need durable, attributable retention beyond local disk.
+
+**Contract:** `metrics publish` registers `analysis.json` + `recommendations.jsonl`
+as an artifact package with `retention_class: raw-evidence`.
 
-**Pattern**: Gradual migration with backup
 ```bash
-# 1. Analyze existing agents
-kaizen-agentic detect --detailed
-
-# 2. Create migration plan
-kaizen-agentic migrate --dry-run
-
-# 3. Execute migration with backup
-kaizen-agentic migrate
+export ARTIFACTSTORE_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000
+export ARTIFACTSTORE_API_TOKEN=<token>
+kaizen-agentic metrics optimize
+kaizen-agentic metrics publish --target .
 ```
 
-**Steps**:
-1. **Backup** existing agents
-2. **Map** custom agents to Kaizen equivalents
-3. **Migrate** functionality to extensions
-4. **Test** new agent workflow
-5. **Archive** old agents after verification
+**Manifest:** [integrations/optimizer-artifact-manifest.md](integrations/optimizer-artifact-manifest.md)
 
-### Scenario 4: Hybrid Coexistence
+**Boundary:** Publish is optional; local `.kaizen/metrics/optimizer/` remains canonical.
 
-**When to use**: Project has essential custom agents that cannot be replaced.
+---
 
-**Pattern**: Namespace separation
-```bash
-# 1. Install Kaizen agents in parallel
-kaizen-agentic install keepaTodofile --target agents/kaizen/
+## Pattern 4 — Canon and knowledge (stretch)
 
-# 2. Keep custom agents in separate directory
-# agents/custom/todo_manager.py
-# agents/kaizen/agent-keepaTodofile.md
+Design-only paths for info-tech-canon and kontextual-engine:
 
-# 3. Create integration extensions
-kaizen-agentic extensions create custom-integration keepaTodofile

+No runtime dependency in WP-0004.
 
-### Scenario 5: Extension-Based Integration
+---
 
-**When to use**: Custom agents have unique functionality that should be preserved.
+## Environment variables
 
-**Pattern**: Extend Kaizen agents with custom functionality
-```bash
-# 1. Create project-specific extension
-kaizen-agentic extensions create project-todo keepaTodofile \
-  --description "TODO manager with custom workflow integration"
-
-# 2. Configure custom behavior
-# Edit .kaizen/extensions/project-todo/extension.yml
-
-# 3. Migrate custom logic to extension
-```
-
-**Extension Configuration Example**:
-```yaml
-name: project-todo
-base_agent: keepaTodofile
-extension_type: functional_extension
-description: "TODO manager with custom workflow integration"
-
-configuration:
-  custom_instructions: |
-    Follow our project-specific TODO format:
-    - Use JIRA ticket references
-    - Include priority levels (P0-P3)
-    - Auto-assign based on component
-
-custom_commands:
-  create-epic: "Create epic-level TODO items"
-  sync-jira: "Synchronize with JIRA tickets"
-  priority-report: "Generate priority-based reports"
-
-environment_overrides:
-  JIRA_URL: "https://company.atlassian.net"
-  TODO_FORMAT: "custom"
-```
-
-## Conflict Resolution Patterns
-
-### Name Conflicts
-
-**Problem**: Multiple agents with the same name.
-
-**Pattern**: Rename with suffix
-```bash
-# Automatic resolution
-todo_manager -> todo_manager_custom
-keepaTodofile -> keepaTodofile (Kaizen agent)
-```
-
-**Implementation**:
-- Add `_custom` suffix to project-specific agents
-- Update references in scripts and documentation
-- Create aliases for backward compatibility
-
-### Functional Overlaps
-
-**Problem**: Multiple agents perform similar functions.
-
-**Pattern**: Choose primary, extend secondary
-```bash
-# Primary: Kaizen agent (standardized)
-# Secondary: Custom agent -> extension
-
-# Example: Both have TODO management
-# Decision: Use keepaTodofile as primary
-#           Convert custom logic to extension
-```
-
-**Decision Matrix**:
-| Factor | Choose Kaizen | Choose Custom | Create Extension |
-|--------|---------------|---------------|------------------|
-| Standard functionality | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
-| Custom business logic | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
-| Maintenance burden | ✅ | ❌ | ⚠️ |
-| Team familiarity | ⚠️ | ✅ | ✅ |
-
-### Integration Order
-
-**Pattern**: Infrastructure first, features last
-1. **Infrastructure agents** (setupRepository, tooling-optimization)
-2. **Core functionality** (keepaTodofile, keepaChangelog)
-3. **Development process** (tdd-workflow, code-refactoring)
-4. **Specialized features** (testing-efficiency, datamodel-optimization)
-
-## Project Structure Respect Patterns
-
-### Existing Directory Structures
-
-**Pattern**: Adaptive installation
-```bash
-# Respect existing structure
-project/
-├── tools/agents/         # Existing agent directory
-├── scripts/             # Existing automation
-└── docs/               # Existing documentation
-
-# Kaizen adaptation
-kaizen-agentic install --target tools/agents/ keepaTodofile
-# Creates: tools/agents/agent-keepaTodofile.md
-```
-
-### Configuration File Integration
-
-**Pattern**: Merge, don't replace
-```bash
-# Before
-CLAUDE.md              # Existing Claude config
-project-config.yml     # Existing project config
-
-# After (merged)
-CLAUDE.md              # Updated with Kaizen agents
-project-config.yml     # Preserved
-.kaizen/extensions.yml # New Kaizen-specific config
-```
-
-### Build System Integration
-
-**Pattern**: Extend existing targets
-```makefile
-# Existing Makefile
-test:
-	pytest tests/
-
-# After Kaizen integration (extended)
-test: test-core test-agents
-	@echo "All tests completed"
-
-test-core:
-	pytest tests/
-
-test-agents:
-	kaizen-agentic validate
-
-# New Kaizen targets
-agents-status:
-	kaizen-agentic status
-
-agents-update:
-	kaizen-agentic update
-```
-
-## Safe Transition Strategies
-
-### Phased Rollout
-
-**Phase 1: Detection and Planning**
-```bash
-# Week 1: Analysis
-kaizen-agentic detect --detailed
-kaizen-agentic migrate --dry-run
-
-# Decision point: Continue or modify approach
-```
-
-**Phase 2: Infrastructure Agents**
-```bash
-# Week 2: Core infrastructure
-kaizen-agentic install setupRepository
-# Test and validate before proceeding
-```
-
-**Phase 3: Core Functionality**
-```bash
-# Week 3: Essential agents
-kaizen-agentic install keepaTodofile keepaChangelog
-# Create extensions for custom functionality
-```
-
-**Phase 4: Advanced Features**
-```bash
-# Week 4: Specialized agents
-kaizen-agentic install tdd-workflow code-refactoring
-# Full integration testing
-```
-
-### Rollback Strategy
-
-**Pattern**: Versioned backups with restore capability
-```bash
-# Before migration
-.kaizen-migration-backup-timestamp/
-├── agents/              # Original agents
-├── CLAUDE.md           # Original configuration
-└── restoration.md      # Rollback instructions
-
-# Rollback command (if needed)
-kaizen-agentic rollback --backup .kaizen-migration-backup-timestamp/
-```
-
-### Validation Gates
-
-**Pattern**: Automated validation at each phase
-```bash
-# After each phase
-kaizen-agentic validate
-make test
-make agents-status
-
-# Success criteria for proceeding:
-# ✅ All agents load without errors
-# ✅ All tests pass
-# ✅ No functionality regressions
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Communication
-
-1. **Team Notification**: Inform team before starting migration
-2. **Documentation**: Update project docs with new agent workflows
-3. **Training**: Provide team training on Kaizen agents
-4. **Gradual Adoption**: Allow team to adapt gradually
-
-### Technical
-
-1. **Backup Everything**: Create comprehensive backups
-2. **Test Thoroughly**: Validate each integration step
-3. **Monitor Impact**: Watch for performance or workflow impacts
-4. **Version Control**: Commit changes in logical phases
-
-### Maintenance
-
-1. **Regular Updates**: Keep Kaizen agents updated
-2. **Extension Maintenance**: Maintain custom extensions
-3. **Documentation Sync**: Keep docs synchronized with agent changes
-4. **Team Feedback**: Collect and act on team feedback
-
-## Troubleshooting Common Issues
-
-### Agent Conflicts
-
-**Issue**: Multiple agents trying to manage the same files.
-
-**Solution**:
-```bash
-# Identify conflicts
-kaizen-agentic detect --detailed
-
-# Resolve with namespace separation
-mkdir agents/legacy agents/kaizen
-mv agents/todo_manager.py agents/legacy/
-kaizen-agentic install --target agents/kaizen/ keepaTodofile
-```
-
-### Configuration Conflicts
-
-**Issue**: Conflicting configuration files.
-
-**Solution**:
-```bash
-# Merge configurations
-cp CLAUDE.md CLAUDE.md.backup
-kaizen-agentic install keepaTodofile
-# Manually merge CLAUDE.md.backup content
-```
-
-### Workflow Disruption
-
-**Issue**: New agents disrupt existing workflows.
-
-**Solution**:
-```bash
-# Create compatibility extensions
-kaizen-agentic extensions create workflow-compat keepaTodofile
-# Configure extension to match existing workflow
-```
-
-## Success Metrics

+# Python Package Release
+
+`kaizen-agentic` publishes as the `kaizen-agentic` Python package on the Coulomb
+Gitea PyPI registry. Public [pypi.org](https://pypi.org/) distribution is optional
+and not required for ecosystem use.
+
+## Install (consumers)
+
+Dependencies such as `pyyaml` resolve from public PyPI. Use Gitea as an extra index:
+
+```bash
+export GITEA_PACKAGE_USER=<gitea-user>
+export GITEA_PACKAGE_TOKEN=<package-token>
+
+pip install kaizen-agentic \
+  --extra-index-url "https://${GITEA_PACKAGE_USER}:${GITEA_PACKAGE_TOKEN}@gitea.coulomb.social/api/packages/coulomb/pypi/simple/"
+```
+
+Global CLI via pipx:
+
+```bash
+pipx install kaizen-agentic \
+  --pip-args="--extra-index-url https://${GITEA_PACKAGE_USER}:${GITEA_PACKAGE_TOKEN}@gitea.coulomb.social/api/packages/coulomb/pypi/simple/"
+```
+
+Do not commit tokenized index URLs. Inject credentials via environment variables or
+CI secrets.
+
+## Local Release
+
+Build and validate artifacts:
+
+```bash
+make package-check
+```
+
+Publish to the Coulomb organization registry:
+
+```bash
+TWINE_USERNAME=<gitea-user> \
+TWINE_PASSWORD=<package-token> \
+make publish-gitea
+```
+
+Package upload endpoint:
+
+```text
+https://gitea.coulomb.social/api/packages/coulomb/pypi
+```
+
+Consumer simple index:
+
+```text
+https://gitea.coulomb.social/api/packages/coulomb/pypi/simple/
+```
+
+## Gitea repository secrets (one-time)
+
+Configure in Gitea: **Repository → Settings → Actions → Secrets**.
+
+| Secret | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| `PACKAGE_USER` | `tegwick` — Gitea username that owns the package token |
+| `PACKAGE_TOKEN` | Gitea API token named `inter-hub-pkg-rep` (`write:package`) |
+
+Token custody (OpenBao):
+
+```text
+platform/data/operators/inter-hub/package-management
+  → field: inter-hub-pkg-rep
+```
+
+Paste the **plaintext** token into the Gitea secret UI. `inter-hub-pkg-rep` is the
+token name in Gitea, not a username.
+
+Gitea rejects secret names prefixed with `GITEA_` — use `PACKAGE_USER` / `PACKAGE_TOKEN`
+(not `GITEA_PACKAGE_USER`). Workflows use `runs-on: haskelseed` and native `git clone`
+(no GitHub Marketplace actions).
+
+The publish workflow fails at the upload step when either secret is missing or
+invalid. Do not commit tokens to the repository.
+
+**Smoke-test (2026-06-16):** `workflow_dispatch` run #3042 authenticated successfully
+(`409 Conflict` on re-upload of `1.1.0` — expected). Root causes of earlier `401`s:
+wrong token (`GITEA_API_TOKEN` ≠ package token), wrong username (`inter-hub-pkg-rep`
+is a token name), and a stale org-level secret. Build uses `.build-venv` (PEP 668).
+
+Verify secrets without cutting a release:
+
+1. Open **Actions → Publish Python package → Run workflow** (`workflow_dispatch`),
+   or dispatch via API:
+   `POST /api/v1/repos/coulomb/kaizen-agentic/actions/workflows/publish-python-package.yml/dispatches`
+   with body `{"ref":"main"}`
+2. Confirm the run completes and `twine upload` succeeds
+3. Optional: `pip install kaizen-agentic==<version> --extra-index-url ...`
+
+The publish job uses an isolated `.build-venv` on the runner (PEP 668 safe).
+
+## Pre-tag release checklist
+
+Before `git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z`:
+
+- [ ] `make release-check` passes (tests, flake8, version consistency, agent parity)
+- [ ] `make package-check` builds and validates `dist/*`
+- [ ] `CHANGELOG.md` has a dated `[X.Y.Z]` section matching `pyproject.toml`
+- [ ] `PACKAGE_USER` and `PACKAGE_TOKEN` secrets are set
+- [ ] Publish workflow smoke-tested via `workflow_dispatch` (or prior tag release)
+- [ ] `make agents-sync-package` run if `agents/` changed since last release
+
+## Gitea Actions Release
+
+The `.gitea/workflows/publish-python-package.yml` workflow publishes on tags
+matching `v*`.
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+git tag v1.2.0
+git push origin v1.2.0
+```
+
+## Public PyPI (optional)
+
+When pypi.org credentials are configured (`~/.pypirc` or `TWINE_PASSWORD` API
+token with `TWINE_USERNAME=__token__`):
+
+```bash
+make release-publish
+python -m twine upload dist/*
+```
+
+## Scheduled-run runner prerequisites (WP-0006)
+
+A runner that executes a scheduled kaizen agent task (fired by activity-core)
+needs:
+
+- **`kaizen-agentic` on PATH** — `pip install kaizen-agentic` (or `pipx install
+  kaizen-agentic`) using the Gitea PyPI extra index when installing from the
+  internal registry:
+  ```bash
+  pip install kaizen-agentic \
+    --extra-index-url https://gitea.coulomb.social/api/packages/coulomb/pypi/simple/
+  ```
+- **Repo checkout reachable** at the `host_paths[<host>]` registered in State
+  Hub, with a valid `.kaizen/schedule.yml` (`kaizen-agentic schedule validate`).
+- **No State Hub required for `prepare`** — `schedule prepare` reads local
+  `.kaizen/` state only. The hub is needed by the *resolver* (activity-core),
+  not by the prepared session.
+
+**Enabling a definition** (activity-core operator): keep the kaizen definitions
+at `enabled: false` until a manual smoke test passes (see
+[INTEGRATION_PATTERNS.md Pattern 2](INTEGRATION_PATTERNS.md) and the
+[activity-core handoff checklist](integrations/activity-core-handoff-wp0006.md)),
+then flip one definition to `enabled: true` in staging before fleet-wide enable.

+# Telemetry and Agent Effectiveness Tracking
+
+WP-0001 T04 design — aligned with ADR-004 and WP-0004 ecosystem integration.
+
+## Two layers (do not merge)
+
+| Layer | Question | Mechanism |
+|-------|----------|-----------|
+| **Project** | How is agent *X* performing in *this repo*? | `kaizen-agentic metrics record` → `.kaizen/metrics/` |
+| **Fleet** | How are coding sessions performing *across repos*? | agentic-resources Helix Forge |
+
+kaizen-agentic **does not** ship a parallel session transcript ingestion pipeline.
+
+## Project telemetry (implemented)
+
+Memory-enabled agents record per-session outcomes at close:
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic metrics record <agent> --success --time <s> --quality <0-1>
+kaizen-agentic metrics optimize [agent]
+kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent>    # includes Performance Summary
+```
+
+Optional fleet correlation via `HELIX_SESSION_UID` (see
+[integrations/helix-forge-correlation.md](integrations/helix-forge-correlation.md)).
+
+## Fleet telemetry (agentic-resources)
+
+Helix Forge owns session capture, digest storage, baselines, and weekly retro.
+kaizen-agentic consumes correlation fields only.
+
+## CLI install / usage analytics (future)
+
+Potential v1.1 additions (not yet implemented):
+
+- Opt-in anonymous counters on `install` / `memory init` (no PII, no project paths)
+- Aggregate effectiveness reports via `metrics list` across a monorepo checkout
+
+## tele-mcp evaluation (deferred)
+
+[tele-mcp](https://gitea.coulomb.social/coulomb/tele-mcp) is a candidate MCP adapter
+for IDE-level telemetry (WP-0001 note). Assess before depending on it. Project and
+fleet layers above satisfy INTENT's "measurable agents" requirement without tele-mcp.
+
+## Feedback loop
+
+User experience feedback uses [FEEDBACK.md](FEEDBACK.md) and Gitea issue templates —
+separate from execution metrics.

+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+kaizen-agentic needs a way to track planned work that is version-controlled,
+visible to the state-hub, and authoritative when the two diverge.
+
+## Decision
+
+Work items originate as Markdown files in `workplans/` **before** being
+registered in the state-hub DB. The file is always authoritative; the DB is
+a read/query model derived from it.
+
+**File naming:** `workplans/kaizen-agentic-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
+**ID prefix:** `KAIZEN-WP`
+
+### Required YAML frontmatter
+
+```yaml
+---
+id: KAIZEN-WP-NNNN
+type: workplan
+title: "..."
+domain: custodian
+repo: kaizen-agentic
+status: active | completed | archived
+owner: kaizen-agentic
+topic_slug: custodian
+state_hub_workstream_id: <uuid>
+created: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+updated: "YYYY-MM-DD"
+---
+```
+
+### Task tracking
+
+Tasks use `- [ ]` / `- [x]` checkboxes with a `T##` code prefix. A
+`## State Hub Task IDs` table at the end of each workplan maps codes to
+DB UUIDs so status can be synced without a list_tasks lookup.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- File is the source of truth; DB drift is auto-fixable via
+  `check_repo_consistency(fix=True)`.
+- Tasks must be created in the file first, then registered in the hub.
+- C-12 warnings are expected when the DB host has not yet seen local changes.

+## Status

+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+kaizen-agentic agents are stateless by default — each session starts from

+<project-root>/.kaizen/agents/<agent-name>/memory.md
+```
+
+The `.kaizen/` directory is the kaizen-agentic ecosystem's project-level
+state directory, analogous to `.claude/` for Claude Code.

+```markdown
+---
+agent: <agent-name>
+project: <project-root or slug>
+last_updated: <ISO date>
+session_count: <n>
+---
+
+## Project Context
+<!-- What this agent knows about the project it works in -->
+
+## Accumulated Findings
+<!-- Patterns, recurring issues, key decisions encountered -->
+
+## What Worked
+<!-- Approaches that produced good results in this project -->
+
+## Watch Points
+<!-- Recurring risks, traps, or areas requiring extra care -->
+
+## Open Threads
+<!-- Things noticed but not yet acted on -->
+
+## Session Log
+<!-- One-line entry per session: date · summary · outcome -->
+```
+
+### Session-start protocol (all memory-enabled agents)
+
+1. Check for `.kaizen/agents/<name>/memory.md` in the project root.
+2. If present, read it before beginning work.
+3. Acknowledge the memory in the opening brief.
+
+### Session-close protocol (all memory-enabled agents)
+
+1. Update `## Accumulated Findings`, `## What Worked`, `## Watch Points`
+   as needed.
+2. Append one line to `## Session Log`.
+3. Bump `last_updated` and `session_count`.
+
+### Agent opt-out
+
+An agent may declare `memory: disabled` in its YAML frontmatter to opt out.
+Default is enabled. Stateless utility agents (e.g. `keepaTodofile`) should
+opt out.
+
+### CLI interface
+
+```
+kaizen-agentic memory show <agent>   # Print agent memory for current project
+kaizen-agentic memory init <agent>   # Scaffold empty memory file
+kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent>  # Run coach, print orientation for agent
+kaizen-agentic memory clear <agent>  # Wipe memory (with confirmation prompt)
+```
+
+`memory init` creates the `.kaizen/agents/<name>/memory.md` file with the
+standard structure and populates the frontmatter.
+
+### Coaching meta-agent
+
+A dedicated `agent-coach.md` (category: `meta`) reads across all
+`.kaizen/agents/*/memory.md` files in a project and:
+
+- Synthesises a cross-agent brief (shared patterns, cross-domain risks)
+- Produces a new-agent orientation targeted at a specific agent about to
+  be deployed for the first time
+- Maintains its own memory covering meta-level fleet observations
+
+`kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent>` invokes the coach to produce this
+orientation.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Agents accumulate project-specific knowledge and arrive in later sessions
+  informed rather than blank.
+- The `.kaizen/` directory should be added to `.gitignore` by default;
+  teams may choose to commit it for shared context.
+- Memory files are human-readable and can be manually edited or reviewed.
+- The coach agent provides a single synthesised view across all agent
+  memories — reducing the operator's burden of re-supplying context.
+- Agents with `memory: disabled` remain fully stateless and require no
+  `.kaizen/` setup.

+# ADR-003 — Protocols Artifact Convention
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Some agents perform structured, repeatable assessments or remediation procedures
+(e.g. sys-medic's k3s node health assessment). These procedures exist as narrative
+text embedded in agent prompts or companion documents, making them hard to discover,
+reference, version, or evolve independently of the agent prompt.
+
+Protocols are distinct from agent prompts:
+- Agent prompts shape AI behaviour
+- Protocols are procedural checklists for humans and agents to execute
+
+They need their own artifact type with a stable location and structure.
+
+## Decision
+
+### File location
+
+```
+agents/protocols/<agent-name>/<slug>.md
+```
+
+Protocols live inside the `agents/` directory alongside agent definitions,
+grouped by owning agent. The `agents/protocols/` subtree is a managed artifact
+collection — not executable code, not agent prompts.
+
+### File structure
+
+```markdown
+---
+agent: <agent-name>
+slug: <slug>
+title: <human-readable title>
+version: <semver>
+last_updated: <ISO date>
+---
+
+# <Title>
+
+## Purpose
+<!-- One paragraph: what this protocol checks or achieves -->
+
+## Scope
+<!-- What systems, components, or conditions this protocol applies to -->
+
+## Prerequisites
+<!-- What must be true before starting -->
+
+## Procedure
+
+### Step 1 — <name>
+<!-- Commands, checks, observations -->
+
+### Step 2 — <name>
+...
+
+## Interpretation
+<!-- How to read the results: what is normal, what is a warning, what requires action -->
+
+## Remediation
+<!-- Common issues and how to resolve them -->
+
+## Notes
+<!-- Version history, known limitations, related protocols -->
+```
+
+### Lifecycle
+
+- Protocols are **created** when a repeatable procedure is identified during agent work
+- Protocols are **refined** across sessions as the owning agent accumulates experience
+- Protocols are **referenced** by agent prompts using the convention:
+  *"If available, use the `<slug>` protocol at `agents/protocols/<agent-name>/<slug>.md`"*
+- Protocols are **human-readable** and can be executed without an AI agent present
+
+### Relationship to agent memory
+
+Agent memory captures *what was learned* in a project. Protocols capture *how to
+do a repeatable thing* independent of any specific project. A protocol may be
+updated based on findings across many projects, but it does not store
+project-specific state.
+
+### CLI interface
+
+```
+kaizen-agentic protocols list [agent]            # List protocols (optionally filtered by agent)
+kaizen-agentic protocols show <agent> <slug>     # Print a protocol
+```
+
+`kaizen-agentic memory init sys-medic` will scaffold the sys-medic protocol
+directory alongside the memory file when protocols exist for that agent.
+
+### README
+
+Each `agents/protocols/` directory contains a `README.md` explaining the
+convention and listing available protocols.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Protocols are independently versioned and evolvable without touching agent prompts.
+- The `agents/protocols/` directory is part of the kaizen-agentic repo and
+  distributed alongside agent definitions.
+- Operators can view, adapt, or execute protocols without running the CLI.
+- The first protocol — sys-medic's k3s node health assessment — migrates from
+  its current location into `agents/protocols/sys-medic/k3s-node-health-assessment.md`.

+
+# ADR-004 — Project Metrics Convention
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+`INTENT.md` requires agents to be measurable, versioned, and optimizable. The
+agency framework (ADR-002) provides **qualitative** project memory; the kaizen
+loop needs **quantitative** per-execution records.
+
+`wiki/AgentKaizenOptimizer.md` specifies `.kaizen/metrics/` storage.
+`OptimizationLoop` in `src/kaizen_agentic/optimization.py` exists but has no
+data source.
+
+Separately, `agentic-resources` (Helix Forge) captures **fleet-level** session
+metrics from coding agent transcripts. Project metrics and fleet metrics serve
+different scopes and must correlate without duplicating ingestion logic.
+
+## Decision
+
+Each agent deployed into a project may accumulate **project-scoped execution
+metrics**. Records are append-only JSONL with rolling summaries. The optimizer
+reads these files to produce evidence-based recommendations.
+
+### File locations
+
+Per-agent executions:
+
+```
+<project-root>/.kaizen/metrics/<agent-name>/
+  executions.jsonl    # append-only per-execution records
+  summary.json        # rolling aggregates (regenerated on write)
+```
+
+Optimizer outputs:
+
+```
+<project-root>/.kaizen/metrics/optimizer/
+  analysis.json           # last analysis run + input fingerprint
+  recommendations.jsonl   # append-only recommendation history
+```
+
+The `.kaizen/metrics/` tree lives alongside `.kaizen/agents/` under the same
+project-level state directory (ADR-002).
+
+### Execution record schema (minimum viable)
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2026-06-16T12:00:00Z",
+  "agent": "tdd-workflow",
+  "session_id": "optional-uuid-or-hash",
+  "execution_time_s": 0.0,
+  "success": true,
+  "quality_score": 0.0,
+  "primary_metric": {
+    "name": "test_pass_rate",
+    "value": 1.0,
+    "target": 1.0
+  },
+  "metadata": {}
+}
+```
+
+Required fields: `timestamp`, `agent`, `success`.
+Recommended fields: `execution_time_s`, `quality_score`, `primary_metric`.
+
+### Summary schema
+
+`summary.json` is derived — never hand-edited. Regenerated on each append:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent": "tdd-workflow",
+  "execution_count": 12,
+  "success_rate": 0.917,
+  "avg_quality_score": 0.82,
+  "avg_execution_time_s": 45.3,
+  "last_execution": "2026-06-16T12:00:00Z",
+  "trend": {
+    "success_rate": "stable",
+    "quality_score": "up"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Retention
+
+Default retention: **180 days** (per `wiki/AgentKaizenOptimizer.md`).
+Pruning removes aged lines from `executions.jsonl` and regenerates `summary.json`.
+Project-level override via `.kaizen/metrics/config.json` is reserved for a
+future iteration.
+
+### Session-close protocol
+
+Memory-enabled agents with declared metrics should append one execution record
+at session close:
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic metrics record <agent> --success --time <seconds> --quality <0-1>
+```
+
+Or pipe a full JSON record via `--json` / stdin.
+
+### CLI interface
+
+```
+kaizen-agentic metrics record <agent>   # Append execution record
+kaizen-agentic metrics show <agent>     # Summary + recent executions
+kaizen-agentic metrics list             # Agents with metrics in project
+kaizen-agentic metrics export <agent>   # Dump executions.jsonl
+kaizen-agentic metrics optimize [agent] # Run OptimizationLoop (WP-0003 Part 3)
+```
+
+`kaizen-agentic memory init <agent>` scaffolds metrics directories by default
+(`--no-metrics` to opt out).
+
+### Helix Forge correlation
+
+Kaizen-agentic **project metrics** and agentic-resources **fleet metrics**
+operate at different layers:
+
+| Layer | Scope | Owner | Typical storage |
+|-------|-------|-------|-----------------|
+| Project | Per-agent persona in one repo | kaizen-agentic | `.kaizen/metrics/` |
+| Fleet | Cross-repo coding sessions | agentic-resources | Helix Forge digest store + `measure/baselines.jsonl` |
+
+**Correlation fields** — optional on project execution records, populated when
+the session is also captured by Helix Forge:
+
+```json
+{
+  "helix_session_uid": "claude:<native-session-uuid>",
+  "repo": "kaizen-agentic",
+  "flavor": "claude",
+  "tokens": 12500,
+  "infra_overhead_share": 0.12
+}
+```
+
+Mapping from Helix Forge `session_metrics()` (agentic-resources):
+
+| Helix field | ADR-004 field |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| `digest.outcome == "success"` | `success` |
+| `digest.cost.wall_clock_s` | `execution_time_s` |
+| `tokens` (input + output) | `tokens` in metadata / top-level |
+| `infra_overhead_share` | `metadata.infra_overhead_share` |
+| `Session.session_uid` | `helix_session_uid` |
+| `Session.repo` | `repo` |
+| `Session.flavor` | `flavor` |
+
+Kaizen-agentic does **not** ingest Claude/Codex/Grok JSONL transcripts.
+Correlation is **link-by-reference**: project metrics may cite a Helix session
+UID; fleet analytics remain owned by agentic-resources.
+
+WP-0004 defines the integration contract and optional sync tooling.
+
+### Coach and memory integration
+
+`kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent>` includes a `## Performance Summary`
+section when `summary.json` exists (WP-0003 Part 4). Qualitative memory
+(ADR-002) and quantitative metrics (this ADR) are complementary views of the
+same agent's project history.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Agents can be measured per project without a central telemetry platform.
+- `OptimizationLoop` has a defined data source for recommendations.
+- Fleet session analytics stay in agentic-resources; no duplicate ingestion.
+- `.kaizen/metrics/` should default to `.gitignore` (same policy as memory).
+- WP-0003 implements `MetricsStore` and CLI against this convention.
+- WP-0004 wires ecosystem services (activity-core, artifact-store, Helix Forge).

+
+# ADR-005 — Scheduled Agent Execution Convention
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+Kaizen agents are markdown instruction sets invoked in coding-agent sessions.
+ADR-004 added project-scoped metrics; WP-0004 committed three metrics-focused
+`ActivityDefinition` drafts (`enabled: false`). What is still missing is a way to
+run **agents themselves** — not just the metrics optimizer — on a **regular
+cadence** against a **preselected set of repos**, without kaizen-agentic owning
+Temporal workers, cron, or an LLM runtime.
+
+The ecosystem already separates concerns:
+
+- **activity-core** owns scheduling (cron/event → task creation).
+- **state-hub** owns the canonical repo roster and `host_paths`.
+- **kaizen-agentic** owns the agents, project memory, and metrics.
+
+A scheduled agent run therefore needs a contract that crosses these repos
+without merging them.
+
+## Decision
+
+Introduce a **repo-local schedule manifest** and a **prepare** step. The
+end-to-end flow:
+
+```
+activity-core cron
+  → context resolver (roster ∩ repos with schedule.yml)
+  → task per (repo, agent)
+  → coding-agent session runs `kaizen-agentic schedule prepare <agent>`
+  → session executes the agent instructions in that repo
+```
+
+kaizen-agentic's responsibilities are exactly two: **declare** the schedule
+(`.kaizen/schedule.yml`) and **prepare** an orientation bundle for a run. It
+does **not** fire cron, create tasks, or invoke Claude.
+
+### 1. Schedule manifest — `.kaizen/schedule.yml`
+
+A repo opts into fleet scheduling by committing this file:
+
+```yaml
+version: "1"
+timezone: Europe/Berlin
+agents:
+  coach:
+    cadence: weekly
+    cron: "0 9 * * 1"      # optional override; default from ActivityDefinition
+    enabled: true
+  optimization:
+    cadence: weekly
+    cron: "0 10 * * 1"
+    enabled: true
+  tdd-workflow:
+    cadence: monthly
+    enabled: false
+```
+
+**Schema:**
+
+| Key | Required | Type | Notes |
+|-----|----------|------|-------|
+| `version` | yes | string | Must be `"1"` |
+| `timezone` | no | string | IANA tz; default supplied by ActivityDefinition |
+| `agents` | yes | mapping | `agent-name → settings` |
+| `agents.<name>.cadence` | yes | enum | `daily` \| `weekly` \| `monthly` |
+| `agents.<name>.cron` | no | string | 5-field cron; overrides cadence default |
+| `agents.<name>.enabled` | no | bool | Default `true` |
+
+**Validation rules** (`kaizen-agentic schedule validate`):
+
+- `version` must equal `"1"`.
+- Every agent key must be an installed or packaged agent name.
+- `cadence` must be one of the allowed values.
+- Duplicate agent entries are rejected.
+
+### 2. Roster (preselected repos)
+
+A repo is **schedule-eligible** when **all** of:
+
+1. It is a registered repo in state-hub (`GET /repos/`) with reachable
+   `host_paths`.
+2. It contains a valid `.kaizen/schedule.yml`.
+3. (Optional, future) it carries a `kaizen_schedule_enabled: true` hub flag.
+
+The resolver `discover_kaizen_scheduled_repos` (specified in
+`docs/integrations/discover-kaizen-scheduled-repos.md`, implemented in
+activity-core) intersects these sources and emits `context.scheduled_runs`.
+
+### 3. Prepare bundle — `schedule prepare <agent>`
+
+Assembles, from **local `.kaizen/` state only** (offline-safe):
+
+- The agent prompt (`agents/agent-<name>.md`, installed or packaged).
+- Project memory (`.kaizen/agents/<name>/memory.md`) when present.
+- Metrics summary (`.kaizen/metrics/<name>/summary.json`) when present.
+- Repo pointers (`SCOPE.md`, `TODO.md`) when present.
+- Suggested session-close commands (`metrics record`, memory update).
+
+Output is `markdown` (default) or `json` (`--format json`) so activity-core can
+embed it in a task `description` or a runner can parse it.
+
+### CLI interface
+
+```
+kaizen-agentic schedule init [--target PATH] [--timezone TZ] [--force]
+kaizen-agentic schedule validate [--target PATH]
+kaizen-agentic schedule list [--target PATH] [--all]
+kaizen-agentic schedule prepare <agent> [--target PATH] [--format markdown|json]
+```
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- **No scheduling code** in kaizen-agentic. Cron and task creation belong to
+  activity-core; the roster query belongs to state-hub.
+- **No LLM invocation.** `prepare` produces a runner-agnostic bundle; a human or
+  automated coding-agent session executes it.
+- **State-hub schema changes** (roster opt-in flag) are designed here but
+  implemented in `the-custodian` (repo boundary).
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Operators declare per-repo schedules and a fleet roster without tribal
+  knowledge.
+- activity-core can fire recurring tasks referencing `schedule prepare`.
+- A scheduled session opens with full orientation (prompt + memory + metrics).
+- The existing `weekly-metrics-optimize` definition (ADR-004 / WP-0004) remains
+  complementary; an `optimization` agent run may chain `schedule prepare
+  optimization` then `metrics optimize`.

+# Agency Framework
+
+kaizen-agentic is not just a library of agent instruction sets — it is an **agency**: a system where agents are deployed into projects with their own persistent memory, learn from experience, and are guided by a coaching meta-agent that distils patterns across the entire fleet.
+
+## Overview
+
+When you deploy a kaizen-agentic agent into a project, it can accumulate **project-scoped memory** — a structured file written at session close and read at session start. A **Coach** meta-agent reads across all agent memories and produces orientation briefs for newly deployed agents: what has been tried, what worked, what to watch out for.
+
+Agents arrive in a project informed, not blank.
+
+---
+
+## Project Memory
+
+### Location Convention
+
+```
+<project-root>/.kaizen/agents/<agent-name>/memory.md
+```
+
+The `.kaizen/` directory is analogous to `.claude/` — a project-level configuration and state directory owned by the kaizen-agentic ecosystem.
+
+### Memory File Structure
+
+```markdown
+---
+agent: <name>
+project: <project-root or slug>
+last_updated: <ISO date>
+session_count: <n>
+---
+
+## Project Context
+<!-- What this agent knows about the project it is working in -->
+
+## Accumulated Findings
+<!-- Patterns, recurring issues, key decisions the agent has encountered -->
+
+## What Worked
+<!-- Approaches that produced good results in this project -->
+
+## Watch Points
+<!-- Recurring risks, traps, or areas requiring extra care -->
+
+## Open Threads
+<!-- Things noticed but not yet acted on -->
+
+## Session Log
+<!-- One-line entry per session: date · summary · outcome -->
+```
+
+### Session Protocols
+
+**Session-start (all agents with `memory: enabled`):**
+
+1. Check for `.kaizen/agents/<name>/memory.md` in the project root.
+2. If present, read it before beginning work.
+3. Acknowledge the memory in the opening brief.
+
+**Session-close (all agents with `memory: enabled`):**
+
+1. Update `## Accumulated Findings`, `## What Worked`, `## Watch Points` as appropriate.
+2. Append one line to `## Session Log`: `YYYY-MM-DD · <summary> · <outcome>`.
+3. Bump `last_updated` and `session_count`.
+
+---
+
+## Agent YAML Frontmatter
+
+Each agent definition (`agents/agent-<name>.md`) includes a YAML frontmatter block:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: <name>
+description: <one-line description>
+category: <category>
+memory: enabled   # or: disabled
+---
+```
+
+The `memory` field defaults to `enabled`. Set `memory: disabled` for agents that are stateless by design (e.g. `wisdom-encouragement`).
+
+---
+
+## The Coach Meta-Agent
+
+`agents/agent-coach.md` is a **meta-agent** — it performs no domain work (coding, testing, infrastructure). Its sole purpose is synthesis and advice.
+
+### What the Coach Does
+
+- **Cross-agent synthesis**: reads all `.kaizen/agents/*/memory.md` files, identifies shared patterns, cross-domain risks, and contradictions
+- **New-agent orientation**: when briefing a specific agent, filters all existing memories for what is relevant and produces a targeted brief
+- **Fleet health overview**: summarises which agents are active, stale, or missing; flags high-session-count agents with open threads
+
+### Invoking the Coach
+
+**Via CLI (assembles raw memory context):**
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent-name>
+```
+
+This prints a structured orientation brief. Pass the output to a Claude session with `agents/agent-coach.md` loaded for full LLM synthesis.
+
+**Directly in a Claude session:**
+
+```
+Coach, brief the sys-medic agent on this project.
+Coach, what patterns have you observed across all agents?
+```
+
+The Coach maintains its own memory at `.kaizen/agents/coach/memory.md` covering fleet-level observations over time.
+
+---
+
+## CLI Reference
+
+The `memory` command group manages project-scoped agent memory:
+
+```
+kaizen-agentic memory show <agent>      # Print agent memory for the current project
+kaizen-agentic memory init <agent>      # Scaffold an empty memory file
+kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent>     # Assemble orientation context for the coach
+kaizen-agentic memory clear <agent>     # Wipe memory (with confirmation prompt)
+```
+
+### Options
+
+`memory brief` accepts:
+- `--target / -t` — project root (default: current directory)
+- `--raw` — dump raw memory file contents without the structured header
+
+### Example Workflow
+
+```bash
+# First deployment of sys-medic into a project
+kaizen-agentic memory init sys-medic
+
+# After a few sessions, brief an incoming tdd-workflow agent
+kaizen-agentic memory brief tdd-workflow
+# → paste output into Claude with agent-coach.md loaded
+
+# Review accumulated memory for a specific agent
+kaizen-agentic memory show project-management
+```
+
+---
+
+## Protocol Runbooks
+
+Agents can reference **protocol runbooks** — structured, human-readable procedural checklists for structured assessments or remediation work. Protocols are distinct from agent prompts:
+
+- **Agent prompts** (`agents/agent-*.md`) shape AI behaviour
+- **Protocols** (`agents/protocols/<agent>/<slug>.md`) are procedural documents for humans and agents to execute
+
+### Location Convention
+
+```
+agents/protocols/
+  <agent-name>/
+    <slug>.md    ← one file per protocol
+```
+
+### Protocol Frontmatter
+
+Each protocol file has a YAML frontmatter block:
+
+```yaml
+---
+agent: <agent-name>
+slug: <slug>
+title: <human-readable title>
+version: 1.0.0
+last_updated: "<ISO date>"
+---
+```
+
+### Referencing Protocols from Agents
+
+Agents with `memory: enabled` check for relevant protocols at session start and reference them in their session-start protocol block. For example, sys-medic's session-start protocol instructs:
+
+> *"If a structured assessment is requested, check for `agents/protocols/sys-medic/k3s-node-health-assessment.md` and use it as your procedure."*
+
+### CLI Reference
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic protocols list                        # List all protocols
+kaizen-agentic protocols list sys-medic              # Filter by agent
+kaizen-agentic protocols show sys-medic k3s-node-health-assessment
+```
+
+### sys-medic Memory and Protocols Integration
+
+sys-medic extends the base memory template with three additional sections for operational continuity across sessions:
+
+```markdown

+
+## Agents with Memory Enabled
+
+All agents that do session-bound project work have `memory: enabled` in their frontmatter and include session-start/session-close protocol blocks:
+
+| Agent | Category | Notes |
+|-------|----------|-------|
+| project-management | process | Reference implementation of the session protocol pattern |
+| tdd-workflow | testing | |
+| requirements-engineering | process | |
+| scope-analyst | process | |
+| sys-medic | infrastructure | Extended memory template (node profiles, recurring findings) |
+| coach | meta | Fleet-level memory |
+
+---
+
+## Project Metrics
+
+Project-scoped **quantitative** metrics complement qualitative memory (ADR-002).
+Per-execution records live under `.kaizen/metrics/<agent>/` and feed the
+kaizen optimizer loop.
+
+### Location
+
+```
+<project-root>/.kaizen/metrics/<agent-name>/
+  executions.jsonl
+  summary.json
+
+<project-root>/.kaizen/metrics/optimizer/
+  analysis.json
+  recommendations.jsonl
+```
+
+### CLI (WP-0003)
+
+```
+kaizen-agentic metrics record <agent>   # Append execution record at session close
+kaizen-agentic metrics show <agent>     # Summary + recent executions
+kaizen-agentic metrics list             # Agents with metrics in project
+kaizen-agentic metrics export <agent>   # Dump executions.jsonl
+kaizen-agentic metrics optimize [agent] # Run optimizer on project metrics (≥10 records)
+kaizen-agentic metrics correlate <uid>  # Helix Forge digest lookup (read-only)
+kaizen-agentic metrics publish          # Register optimizer output in artifact-store
+```
+
+`memory brief` includes a `## Performance Summary` when metrics exist (success
+rate, avg quality, execution time, trend arrows).
+
+`memory init` scaffolds `.kaizen/metrics/<agent>/` by default (`--no-metrics` to
+skip). Record outcomes at session close per
+[session-close protocol template](templates/session-close-protocol.md).
+
+### Fleet correlation
+
+Project metrics correlate with **Helix Forge** fleet session metrics in
+`agentic-resources` via optional `helix_session_uid` (ADR-004).
+
+- `HELIX_SESSION_UID` (and related env vars) auto-merge on `metrics record`
+- `metrics correlate <uid>` looks up fleet digest when `HELIX_STORE_DB` is set
+
+See [integrations/helix-forge-correlation.md](integrations/helix-forge-correlation.md)
+and [wiki/EcosystemIntegration.md](../wiki/EcosystemIntegration.md).
+
+### Evidence retention
+
+After `metrics optimize`, optionally publish optimizer outputs to **artifact-store**:
+
+```bash
+export ARTIFACTSTORE_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000
+export ARTIFACTSTORE_API_TOKEN=<write-token>
+kaizen-agentic metrics publish --target .
+```
+
+Package uses `retention_class: raw-evidence` (180d). Local
+`.kaizen/metrics/optimizer/` remains authoritative when publish is skipped.
+
+Manifest: [integrations/optimizer-artifact-manifest.md](integrations/optimizer-artifact-manifest.md).
+
+---
+
+## Scheduled Agent Execution
+
+Agents can run on a **regular cadence** against **preselected repos**, fired by
+**activity-core** and prepared by kaizen-agentic (ADR-005). A repo opts in by
+committing `.kaizen/schedule.yml`:
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic schedule init       # scaffold (coach + optimization weekly)
+kaizen-agentic schedule validate   # check schema + agent names
+kaizen-agentic schedule list       # show enabled entries
+kaizen-agentic schedule prepare coach   # orientation bundle for a scheduled run
+```
+
+`schedule prepare <agent>` bundles the agent prompt, project memory, metrics
+summary, and repo pointers — offline, no State Hub required. kaizen-agentic does
+**not** run cron or invoke Claude; activity-core fires the schedule and a
+coding-agent session executes the prepared bundle.
+
+Schema: [integrations/schedule-schema.md](integrations/schedule-schema.md).

+# activity-core Handoff — Scheduled Agent Execution (WP-0006)
+
+Coordination checklist for the **activity-core** team to enable kaizen scheduled
+agent runs. kaizen-agentic owns the schedule contract, the prepare CLI, and the
+ActivityDefinition **drafts**; activity-core owns the resolver, the schedule
+firing, and task creation (repo boundary, ADR-005).
+
+Open this as an activity-core issue/PR titled *"Enable kaizen scheduled agent
+execution (WP-0006)"* and track the boxes there.
+
+## What kaizen-agentic ships (done in this repo)
+
+- [x] `.kaizen/schedule.yml` schema + `schedule validate|init|list|prepare` CLI
+- [x] ADR-005 contract
+- [x] Resolver spec: [discover-kaizen-scheduled-repos.md](discover-kaizen-scheduled-repos.md)
+- [x] State Hub roster fields design: [state-hub-roster-fields.md](state-hub-roster-fields.md)
+- [x] Draft definitions (`enabled: false`):
+      [weekly-coach-orientation](activity-definitions/weekly-coach-orientation.md),
+      [weekly-optimization-review](activity-definitions/weekly-optimization-review.md)
+- [x] Event payload spec: [kaizen-schedule-prepared-event.md](kaizen-schedule-prepared-event.md)
+
+## What activity-core must do
+
+- [ ] **Implement resolver** `discover_kaizen_scheduled_repos` per the spec
+      (hub roster ∩ repos with valid `.kaizen/schedule.yml`).
+- [ ] **Add resolver unit tests** using the four fixtures in the spec.
+- [ ] **Copy definitions** from `docs/integrations/activity-definitions/`
+      (`weekly-coach-orientation.md`, `weekly-optimization-review.md`) into the
+      activity-core catalog path (per ACT-ADR-002).
+- [ ] **Register** each definition slug in the activity-core index.
+- [ ] **Run** `make sync-activity-definitions` in activity-core.
+- [ ] **Wire cron** triggers (Mon 09:00 / 10:00 Europe/Berlin) to the resolver.
+- [ ] **Smoke test** against a pilot repo (see below) with the definition still
+      `enabled: false` (dry-run task creation).
+- [ ] **Enable gradually** — flip one definition to `enabled: true` in staging
+      after the smoke test passes.
+- [ ] **Verify runner prerequisites** — `kaizen-agentic` on PATH and the Gitea
+      PyPI extra index if the runner installs from registry (see
+      [PACKAGE_RELEASE.md](../PACKAGE_RELEASE.md)).
+
+## State Hub team (the-custodian)
+
+- [ ] Optional: add `kaizen_schedule_enabled` repo flag + `GET /repos/` filter
+      (v2 pre-filter; the repo file remains the source of truth).
+
+## Smoke test (manual, runner-agnostic)
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/pilot-repo
+kaizen-agentic schedule init            # if not already present
+kaizen-agentic schedule validate        # exit 0
+kaizen-agentic schedule list            # shows coach + optimization enabled
+kaizen-agentic schedule prepare coach   # non-empty orientation bundle
+```
+
+Then in activity-core: run the resolver (dry-run) and confirm one
+`scheduled_run` per enabled `(repo, agent)` with a correct `prepare_command`.
+
+## Pilot roster
+
+- `kaizen-agentic` (dogfood)
+- `the-custodian` (hub operator)
+- one additional custodian-domain repo with `.kaizen/` state (TBD at pilot time)

+# Resolver Spec: `discover_kaizen_scheduled_repos`
+
+**Status:** specification — **implemented in activity-core**, not here. This doc
+is the contract an activity-core implementer needs to add the context resolver
+that feeds the scheduled-agent ActivityDefinitions (ADR-005).
+
+## Purpose
+
+Given the fleet roster and per-repo schedule manifests, emit one entry per
+`(repo, agent)` that is due to run, so ActivityDefinitions can `for_each` over
+the result.
+
+## Signature
+
+```
+discover_kaizen_scheduled_repos(
+    domain: str | None = None,        # optional scope filter, e.g. "custodian"
+    cadence: str | None = None,       # optional: "daily" | "weekly" | "monthly"
+    now: datetime | None = None,      # injection point for testing
+) -> { "scheduled_runs": list[ScheduledRun] }
+```
+
+Bound in a definition as:
+
+```yaml
+context_sources:
+  - type: resolver
+    query: discover_kaizen_scheduled_repos
+    params:
+      domain: custodian
+      cadence: weekly
+    bind_to: context.scheduled_runs
+```
+
+## Inputs (sources, in order)
+
+1. **State Hub** `GET /repos/` (optionally filtered by `domain` and, when the v2
+   flag lands, `kaizen_schedule_enabled=true`). Yields `slug`, `host_paths`,
+   `domain`.
+2. **Repo checkout** at `host_paths[<runner-host>]`: read
+   `.kaizen/schedule.yml`. Skip repos without the file.
+3. **Validation**: run the equivalent of `kaizen-agentic schedule validate`.
+   Skip (and log) repos whose schedule is invalid — never emit a bad entry.
+
+## Output shape
+
+```json
+{
+  "scheduled_runs": [
+    {
+      "repo": "kaizen-agentic",
+      "root": "/home/worsch/kaizen-agentic",

+
+## Filtering rules
+
+- Emit only entries with `enabled: true`.
+- When `cadence` param is set, emit only matching entries (lets each cron-bound
+  definition select its own cadence slice).
+- When `cron` is present on the entry, it is the authoritative per-repo time;
+  otherwise the definition's cron applies.
+
+## Errors
+
+| Condition | Behavior |
+|-----------|----------|
+| Repo unreachable / path missing on host | Skip + log `repo_unreachable` |
+| `.kaizen/schedule.yml` absent | Skip silently (not opted in) |
+| schedule.yml invalid | Skip + log `schedule_invalid` with validation errors |
+| Hub unreachable | Fail the resolver run (no roster = no safe output) |
+
+The resolver must be **idempotent** and **side-effect free**: it reads, it does
+not write. Task creation happens in the ActivityDefinition rule, not here.
+
+## Test fixtures
+
+- A repo with valid `.kaizen/schedule.yml` (coach enabled) → one entry.
+- A repo with the file but coach `enabled: false` → no entry.
+- A repo without the file → no entry.
+- A repo with an invalid schedule → no entry + logged error.

+# Helix Forge Correlation Contract
+
+Cross-repo contract between **kaizen-agentic** (project metrics, ADR-004) and
+**agentic-resources** (Helix Forge fleet session metrics).
+
+## Purpose
+
+Link a project-scoped agent execution record to the fleet session that produced
+it, without duplicating session JSONL ingestion in kaizen-agentic.
+
+## Layers
+
+| Layer | Owner | Storage |
+|-------|-------|---------|
+| Project | kaizen-agentic | `.kaizen/metrics/<agent>/executions.jsonl` |
+| Fleet | agentic-resources | Helix Forge digest store (`digests` table) |
+
+## Correlation fields (ADR-004)
+
+Optional on each project execution record:
+
+```json
+{
+  "helix_session_uid": "claude:17092961-…",
+  "repo": "kaizen-agentic",
+  "flavor": "claude",
+  "tokens": 12500,
+  "infra_overhead_share": 0.12
+}
+```
+
+### Field mapping
+
+| Helix Forge (`session_memory`) | ADR-004 project record |
+|-------------------------------|------------------------|
+| `Session.session_uid` | `helix_session_uid` |
+| `Session.repo` | `repo` |
+| `Session.flavor` | `flavor` |
+| `digest.cost.input_tokens + output_tokens` | `tokens` |
+| MCP tool share of `tool_histogram` | `infra_overhead_share` |
+| `digest.outcome == "success"` | informs `success` at record time |
+| `digest.cost.wall_clock_s` | complements `execution_time_s` |
+
+## Population at session close
+
+### Automatic (environment)
+
+When Helix Forge capture is active in the same shell session:
+
+```bash
+export HELIX_SESSION_UID="claude:17092961-…"
+export HELIX_REPO="kaizen-agentic"
+export HELIX_FLAVOR="claude"
+export HELIX_TOKENS="12500"
+export HELIX_INFRA_OVERHEAD_SHARE="0.12"
+
+kaizen-agentic metrics record tdd-workflow --success --time 4200 --quality 0.9
+```
+
+`metrics record` merges env vars into the execution record before append.
+
+### Explicit (JSON)
+
+```bash
+echo '{
+  "success": true,
+  "execution_time_s": 4200,
+  "quality_score": 0.9,
+  "helix_session_uid": "claude:17092961-…",
+  "repo": "kaizen-agentic",
+  "flavor": "claude",
+  "tokens": 12500,
+  "infra_overhead_share": 0.12
+}' | kaizen-agentic metrics record tdd-workflow --json
+```
+
+## Fleet lookup (read-only)
+
+```bash
+export HELIX_STORE_DB=~/.helix-forge/store.db   # agentic-resources session store
+kaizen-agentic metrics correlate claude:17092961-…
+```
+
+When `HELIX_STORE_DB` is unset, `metrics correlate` returns a **stub** response
+documenting expected fields — no ingestion code runs in kaizen-agentic.

+# Event Payload: `kaizen.schedule.prepared`
+
+**Status:** design — for **future event-driven runs**. v1 of WP-0006 is
+cron-driven (activity-core fires the schedule). This event lets a runner or
+activity-core react when a `schedule prepare` bundle has been assembled, without
+polling.
+
+kaizen-agentic does **not** publish this event today; the `prepare` command
+writes to stdout. This spec fixes the contract so an emitter (a runner wrapper
+or a thin `--emit` flag in a later iteration) and consumers agree on the shape.
+
+## Subject
+
+```
+kaizen.schedule.prepared
+```
+
+NATS/event-bus subject, sibling to the existing `kaizen.metrics.recorded` and
+`kaizen.agent.installed` subjects (Pattern 2).
+
+## Payload
+
+```json
+{
+  "event": "kaizen.schedule.prepared",
+  "version": "1",
+  "occurred_at": "2026-06-17T09:00:12Z",
+  "repo": "kaizen-agentic",

+  },

+    "kaizen-agentic metrics record coach --success --time <s> --quality <0-1>"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|-------|------|-------|
+| `event` | string | Always `kaizen.schedule.prepared` |
+| `version` | string | Payload schema version |
+| `occurred_at` | RFC3339 | When the bundle was assembled |
+| `repo` | string | State Hub slug |
+| `root` | string | Absolute checkout path |
+| `agent` | string | Agent the bundle orients |
+| `cadence` | string | `daily` \| `weekly` \| `monthly` |
+| `prepare_command` | string | Exact CLI that produced the bundle |
+| `bundle.format` | string | `markdown` \| `json` |
+| `bundle.agent_prompt_found` | bool | Mirrors `schedule prepare --format json` |
+| `bundle.has_memory` | bool | Memory file present |
+| `bundle.has_metrics` | bool | Metrics summary present |
+| `bundle.pointers` | string[] | Repo pointer labels found (`scope`, `todo`) |
+| `bundle.bytes` | int | Rendered bundle size |
+| `session_close` | string[] | Suggested close commands |
+
+The `bundle.*` flags map 1:1 to the JSON output of
+`kaizen-agentic schedule prepare <agent> --format json`, so an emitter can build
+this payload from the existing command without new computation.
+
+## Consumers (illustrative)
+
+- **activity-core** — close the loop: mark the scheduled task `in_progress` when
+  a bundle is prepared.
+- **artifact-store** — archive large bundles by reference.
+- **dashboards** — fleet view of which scheduled runs have been prepared vs.
+  executed.
+
+## Boundary
+
+- The payload carries **metadata and a command**, never secrets or full repo
+  contents.
+- kaizen-agentic owns the schema; emission wiring (NATS publish) is a future
+  iteration and belongs to the runner / activity-core integration.

+# `.kaizen/schedule.yml` Schema
+
+The schedule manifest declares which kaizen agents run on what cadence in an
+opted-in repo. It is the repo-local half of the scheduled-agent-execution
+contract (ADR-005). activity-core reads it (via the roster resolver) to fire
+recurring tasks; `kaizen-agentic schedule prepare` reads it indirectly by
+preparing per-agent orientation.
+
+Canonical example: [`docs/examples/.kaizen/schedule.yml`](../examples/.kaizen/schedule.yml).
+
+## Location
+
+```
+<project-root>/.kaizen/schedule.yml
+```
+
+Lives alongside `.kaizen/agents/` (memory) and `.kaizen/metrics/`. Like those,
+its presence is the **opt-in signal** for fleet scheduling.
+
+## Fields
+
+| Key | Required | Type | Default | Notes |
+|-----|----------|------|---------|-------|
+| `version` | yes | string | — | Must be `"1"` |
+| `timezone` | no | string | from ActivityDefinition | IANA tz, e.g. `Europe/Berlin` |
+| `agents` | yes | mapping | — | `agent-name → settings` |
+| `agents.<name>.cadence` | yes | enum | — | `daily` \| `weekly` \| `monthly` |
+| `agents.<name>.cron` | no | string | cadence default | 5-field cron expression |
+| `agents.<name>.enabled` | no | bool | `true` | Set `false` to declare but pause |
+
+## Example
+
+```yaml
+version: "1"
+timezone: Europe/Berlin
+agents:
+  coach:
+    cadence: weekly
+    cron: "0 9 * * 1"
+    enabled: true
+  optimization:
+    cadence: weekly
+    cron: "0 10 * * 1"
+    enabled: true
+  tdd-workflow:
+    cadence: monthly
+    enabled: false
+```
+
+## Validation
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic schedule validate
+```
+
+Errors are emitted with actionable messages and a non-zero exit code:
+
+- Missing or non-`"1"` `version`.
+- `agents` not a mapping, or no agents declared.
+- An agent name that is **not** installed or packaged (typo guard).
+- A `cadence` outside `daily` / `weekly` / `monthly`.
+- Duplicate agent entries.
+
+Only agents available to the project (installed under `agents/` or packaged in
+the distribution) may appear in a schedule.
+
+## Scaffolding
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic schedule init                 # defaults: coach + optimization weekly
+kaizen-agentic schedule init --timezone UTC  # override timezone
+kaizen-agentic schedule init --force         # overwrite existing
+```
+
+The default scaffold enables `coach` and `optimization` weekly and declares
+`tdd-workflow` monthly but **disabled** (operator opts in deliberately).
+
+## Listing
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic schedule list        # enabled entries only
+kaizen-agentic schedule list --all  # include disabled
+```
+
+## Relationship to activity-core
+
+The `cron` field is an **optional per-repo override**. When omitted, the cadence
+maps to the default cron declared in the matching ActivityDefinition (e.g.
+`weekly-coach-orientation` fires Mon 09:00). This keeps fleet-wide timing in one
+place while letting individual repos shift their slot.
+
+See [ADR-005](../adr/ADR-005-scheduled-agent-execution.md) and
+[INTEGRATION_PATTERNS.md Pattern 2](../INTEGRATION_PATTERNS.md).

+# State Hub Roster Fields for Kaizen Scheduling (Design)
+
+**Status:** design only — implemented in `the-custodian/state-hub`, not here
+(repo boundary). This document specifies what kaizen-agentic and activity-core
+need from the hub so the State Hub team can add the fields and filter.
+
+## Problem
+
+activity-core's resolver needs to answer: *which registered repos participate in
+kaizen fleet scheduling, and where do they live on disk?* Today state-hub knows
+the canonical repo list and `host_paths` but has no notion of schedule opt-in.
+
+## Existing hub data (sufficient for v1)
+
+`GET /repos/` already returns, per repo:
+
+| Field | Use |
+|-------|-----|
+| `slug` | Canonical repo identifier (`target_repo` in tasks) |
+| `host_paths[hostname] → local_path` | Where the repo is checked out on a runner |
+| `domain` | Scope filter (e.g. `custodian`) |
+
+For **v1**, opt-in is detected **in the repo** (`.kaizen/schedule.yml` exists and
+validates). The resolver clones/reads each candidate path and checks for the
+file. No hub schema change is strictly required to ship the pilot.
+
+## Proposed hub fields (v2, optional)
+
+To let operators query eligibility **without touching every checkout**, add an
+optional repo-metadata flag:
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Meaning |
+|-------|------|---------|---------|
+| `kaizen_schedule_enabled` | bool | `false` | Operator-confirmed fleet participation |
+| `kaizen_schedule_updated_at` | timestamp | null | Last time schedule.yml was synced/seen |
+
+### Suggested filter
+
+```
+GET /repos/?kaizen_schedule_enabled=true&domain=custodian
+```
+
+Returns only schedule-eligible repos with their `host_paths`, so the resolver
+skips repos that have not opted in — cheaper than scanning every checkout.
+
+### Write path
+
+The flag is set by an operator (or a future `kaizen-agentic schedule register`
+that calls the hub). It is **advisory**: the authoritative opt-in remains the
+presence of a valid `.kaizen/schedule.yml` in the repo, re-checked by the
+resolver at run time. The flag is an index, not a source of truth.
+
+## Boundary
+
+- kaizen-agentic does **not** write these fields in WP-0006.
+- state-hub schema migration is tracked in `the-custodian`.
+- The resolver (activity-core) treats the hub flag as a pre-filter and the repo
+  file as the decision.

+# Session-Close Protocol Template
+
+Reference template for memory-enabled agents. Copy the **Session Close** block
+into `agents/agent-<name>.md` and adapt the metrics line to the agent.
+
+## Session Close
+
+1. Update `## Accumulated Findings`, `## What Worked`, and `## Watch Points` as needed.
+2. Append one line to `## Session Log`: `YYYY-MM-DD · <summary> · <outcome>`.
+3. Bump `last_updated` to today and increment `session_count` in memory frontmatter.
+4. Record session metrics (adjust flags to match outcome):
+
+```bash
+kaizen-agentic metrics record <agent-name> --success --time <seconds> --quality <0.0-1.0>
+# or on failure:
+kaizen-agentic metrics record <agent-name> --failure --time <seconds>
+```

+Optional: pass a full JSON record (ADR-004 schema) via stdin:

+  | kaizen-agentic metrics record <agent-name> --json
+```
+
+Use `--idempotency-key <session-id>` to avoid duplicate records if the close
+protocol runs more than once for the same session.
+
+## Pilot agents
+
+`tdd-workflow` is the reference implementation (WP-0003 Part 5). Other
+memory-enabled agents should adopt this block as the metrics CLI becomes available
+in their workflows.

+|----------------|---------------|
+| Agent definitions + deployment | kaizen-agentic |
+| Project memory + Coach | kaizen-agentic |

+| Org placement | domain-tree |
+| Runtime telemetry MCP | tele-mcp (unassessed — not cloned) |
+
+KaizenAgentic matures by **stabilizing conventions and composing adjacent services**, consistent with INTENT boundaries.
+
+---
+
+## Per-Repo Assessment
+
+### agentic-resources — P0
+
+**Role:** AgentOps / Helix Forge — Capture → Detect → Curate → Distribute → Measure on coding sessions.
+
+**Use:** Fleet-level session metrics (`session_memory/measure/`), JSONL baselines, cross-agent adapters (Claude/Codex/Grok). Complements project-scoped `.kaizen/metrics/`.
+
+**Action:** ADR-004 correlation fields; WP-0004 integration; do not re-implement session ingestion here.
+
+### activity-core — P1
+
+**Role:** Event bridge — cron/NATS → task emission.
+
+**Use:** Scheduled `metrics optimize`, retention hygiene, metrics scaffold validation after agent install.
+
+**Action:** WP-0004 ActivityDefinitions after WP-0003 Part 2.
+
+### artifact-store — P1
+
+**Role:** Artifact registry + retention gateway.
+
+**Use:** Persist optimizer `analysis.json`, recommendations, e2e evidence packages.
+
+**Action:** WP-0004 pilot registration with `raw-evidence` retention class.
+
+### info-tech-canon — P2
+
+**Role:** Markdown-first semantic canon, agent briefs, patterns, profiles.
+
+**Use:** Map KaizenAgentTemplate → canon profiles; publish per-agent briefs; validation rules for `kaizen-agentic validate`.
+
+**Action:** WP-0004 Part 4 (later phase).
+
+### phase-memory — P2
+
+**Role:** Profile-driven memory graphs (ephemeral → rigid).
+
+**Use:** Upgrade path from flat `.kaizen/agents/*/memory.md`.
+
+**Action:** Future WP after WP-0004; no WP-0003 blocker.
+
+### kontextual-engine — P2
+
+**Role:** Knowledge operations engine.
+
+**Use:** Ingest `wiki/` and `agents/` as knowledge assets; KaizenGuidance catalog runtime.
+
+**Action:** WP-0004 Part 4 (guidance pilot).
+
+### llm-connect — P3
+
+**Role:** Provider-neutral LLM adapter.
+
+**Use:** Automated Coach/optimizer narration when LLM synthesis moves beyond CLI context assembly.
+
+**Action:** Reference pattern; adopt when WP-0003+ adds LLM-powered recommendations.
+
+### domain-tree — P3
+
+**Role:** Organizational domain tree (primary + secondary bindings).
+
+**Use:** Register kaizen-agentic and agent categories in org structure.
+
+**Action:** When capability catalog matures.
+
+### identity-canon — P3
+
+**Role:** Identity/agent terminology research.
+
+**Use:** Distinguish agent persona vs instance vs session actor for "digital talent agency" framing.
+
+**Action:** Glossary alignment in wiki.
+
+### tele-mcp — TBD
+
+**Status:** On Forgejo (`coulomb/tele-mcp`); not cloned; not in State Hub registry. Name suggests telemetry MCP.
+
+**Action:** Clone and assess before integration; candidate for WP-0001 T04 telemetry adapter.

+
+- **KAIZEN-WP-0003** — measurement loop (completed 2026-06-18)
+- **KAIZEN-WP-0004** — ecosystem integration (completed 2026-06-18)
+
+---
+
+## WP-0004 Outcomes (2026-06-18)
+
+### Part 1 — Helix Forge correlation
+
+- `HELIX_SESSION_UID` env auto-merge on `metrics record`
+- `kaizen-agentic metrics correlate <uid>` read-only adapter (sqlite or stub)
+- Contract: `docs/integrations/helix-forge-correlation.md`
+- Worked example in `wiki/EcosystemIntegration.md`
+
+### Part 2 — activity-core triggers
+
+- Three ActivityDefinition reference copies under `docs/integrations/activity-definitions/`
+- Activation contract: `docs/INTEGRATION_PATTERNS.md`
+
+### Part 3 — artifact-store evidence
+
+- `kaizen-agentic metrics publish` with `raw-evidence` retention class
+- Manifest: `docs/integrations/optimizer-artifact-manifest.md`
+
+### Part 4 — Canon and knowledge (stretch)
+
+- Template mapping: `docs/integrations/canon-template-mapping.md`
+- tdd-workflow canon brief: `docs/integrations/briefs/tdd-workflow-canon-brief.md`
+- kontextual-engine spike: `docs/integrations/kontextual-wiki-ingestion-spike.md`
+
+No hard dependencies on info-tech-canon, kontextual-engine, or agentic-resources
+runtime in kaizen-agentic — integration remains contract-based.

+# KaizenAgentic Intent Gap Analysis
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-16
+**Scope:** `INTENT.md`, `wiki/`, codebase (`agents/`, `src/kaizen_agentic/`, `docs/`, workplans)
+**Author:** kaizen-agentic session assessment
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Kaizen-agentic is in a **two-layer state**: the strategic/conceptual layer (`INTENT.md`, `wiki/`) is well-developed; the operational layer (agents, CLI, agency framework) is substantial but implements a **deployment and memory** product more than a **measurable continuous-improvement engine**.
+
+The largest gap: the **measurement → optimization → specification refinement loop** described in INTENT is largely unbuilt. Addressed by **KAIZEN-WP-0003** (registered 2026-06-16).
+
+---
+
+## Alignment
+
+| INTENT asset | Status |
+|--------------|--------|
+| Mission and conceptual model | `wiki/` established |
+| KaizenAgent definition template | `wiki/KaizenAgentTemplate.md` — not enforced in agents |
+| Meta-optimizer concept | `wiki/AgentKaizenOptimizer.md` + `agent-optimization.md` — no data pipeline |
+| Idempotent/measurable principles | Documented; not in agent implementations |
+| Codebase improvement guidance | `wiki/KaizenGuidance.md` — vision only |
+| Prompts/experiments/mantras | `wiki/KaizenPrompting.md` — not operationalized |
+| Product/pricing/brand | `wiki/` complete |
+| Agency memory + Coach | WP-0002 shipped |
+| CLI deployment | Functional (21 agents) |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Gaps
+
+### 1. Kaizen loop not closed
+
+INTENT requires evidence-based refinement with before/after deltas. Reality: `OptimizationLoop` exists but is unwired; no `.kaizen/metrics/`; WP-0001 telemetry unstarted.
+
+### 2. Agent template not enforced
+
+Agents use minimal YAML frontmatter; `wiki/KaizenAgentTemplate.md` (metrics, idempotency, testing, evolution) is reference only.
+
+### 3. KaizenGuidance unbuilt
+
+No guide catalog, manifests, codemods, or Parse→Measure pipeline.
+
+### 4. Coach vs optimizer not integrated
+
+Qualitative memory (Coach) and quantitative optimization (optimizer) are separate paths.
+
+### 5. Agent implementation boundary undeclared
+
+INTENT says repo should not own all concrete agent implementations; 21 agents live here as reference fleet — interim state needs explicit policy.
+
+---
+
+## Design Principles Scorecard
+
+| Principle | Status |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Continuous Improvement | Partial (memory; no automated refinement) |
+| Measurable by Default | Gap |
+| Idempotent Operations | Gap |
+| Evidence over Intuition | Gap |
+| Separation of Concerns | Partial |
+| Composable Capabilities | Gap |
+| Human-Readable + Machine-Executable | Gap (guidance) |
+| Rollback-Ready Evolution | Partial |
+| Compounding Value | Partial (memory only) |
+
+---
+
+## Remediation Sequence
+
+1. **WP-0003** — metrics convention, CLI, optimizer wiring, Coach bridge (active)
+2. **WP-0004** — ecosystem integration (agentic-resources, activity-core, artifact-store)
+3. Future — KaizenGuidance catalog, phase-memory upgrade, full template conformance

+
+# Coach Agent
+
+## Role
+
+You are the **kaizen-agentic Coach** — a meta-agent that observes, synthesises,
+and advises. You do not perform domain work (coding, testing, infrastructure).
+Your sole purpose is to read across the accumulated memories of all agents in a
+project and produce useful, targeted briefs.
+
+You are invoked via:
+```
+kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent-name>
+```
+
+Or directly by the operator: *"Coach, brief the sys-medic agent on this project"*
+or *"Coach, what patterns have you observed across all agents?"*
+
+---
+
+## What You Do
+
+### 1. Cross-Agent Synthesis
+
+Read all `.kaizen/agents/*/memory.md` files in the current project. Identify:
+
+- **Shared patterns**: themes that appear across multiple agents
+  (e.g. "three agents flagged missing test coverage as a risk")
+- **Cross-domain risks**: signals in one agent's memory that should inform
+  another (e.g. infrastructure instability flagged by sys-medic → tdd-workflow
+  should account for flaky environments)
+- **Resource or architectural signals**: recurring mentions of specific files,
+  modules, services, or systems across agents
+- **Contradictions or gaps**: where agents hold conflicting assumptions or where
+  no agent has coverage
+
+### 2. New-Agent Orientation
+
+When asked to brief a specific agent about to be deployed for the first time:
+
+1. Read all existing agent memories in the project
+2. Filter for what is relevant to the incoming agent's domain
+3. Produce a targeted orientation brief covering:
+   - **Project context**: what kind of project this is, key constraints
+   - **What to know first**: the most important facts for this agent
+   - **Watch points**: risks or pitfalls flagged by other agents that are relevant
+   - **What has worked**: successful approaches in adjacent domains
+   - **Open threads**: unresolved items from other agents that may interact with
+     this agent's work
+
+### 3. Fleet Health Overview
+
+When asked for a fleet overview:
+
+- Summarise the health of the agent fleet: which agents are active, stale, or
+  missing from the project
+- Flag agents with high `session_count` and still-open `## Open Threads`
+- Identify agents whose memories suggest overlapping concerns
+- Recommend whether any memory files should be reviewed or reset
+
+---
+
+## How to Read Agent Memory Files
+
+Memory files live at `.kaizen/agents/<name>/memory.md` relative to the project
+root. Each follows ADR-002 structure:
+
+```
+## Project Context      ← agent's understanding of the project
+## Accumulated Findings ← patterns and recurring issues
+## What Worked         ← validated approaches
+## Watch Points        ← risks and traps
+## Open Threads        ← unresolved items
+## Session Log         ← chronological session summaries
+```
+
+When synthesising, weight `## Watch Points` and `## Open Threads` most heavily —
+these are the signals most likely to be actionable for another agent.
+
+### Project metrics (ADR-004)
+
+Quantitative performance data lives at `.kaizen/metrics/<agent>/summary.json`.
+`kaizen-agentic memory brief <agent>` includes a `## Performance Summary` block
+when metrics exist.
+
+When synthesising orientations:
+
+- Combine qualitative memory with quantitative trends (success rate, quality,
+  execution time, trend arrows)
+- Flag agents with declining success rate or quality trends
+- Cross-reference metrics with `## Watch Points` — do metrics confirm or
+  contradict qualitative findings?
+- Note when an agent has memory but no metrics (incomplete session-close protocol)
+
+Fleet optimizer output at `.kaizen/metrics/optimizer/analysis.json` provides
+project-wide analysis from `kaizen-agentic metrics optimize`.
+
+---
+
+## Output Format
+
+### Cross-agent brief
+
+```
+## Cross-Agent Brief — <project name>
+Generated: <date>
+Agents with memory: <list>
+
+### Shared Patterns
+<bullet list of themes appearing across ≥2 agents>
+
+### Cross-Domain Risks
+<risks from one domain relevant to others>
+
+### Open Threads (fleet-wide)
+<unresolved items that span or affect multiple agents>
+
+### Fleet Health
+<which agents are active/stale, any concerning signals>
+```
+
+### New-agent orientation
+
+```
+## Orientation Brief for: <agent-name>
+Project: <project name>
+Generated: <date>
+Sources: <which agent memories were read>
+
+### Performance Summary
+<from .kaizen/metrics/<agent>/ when available — success rate, quality, trends>
+
+### What to Know First
+<3–5 most important facts for this agent>
+
+### Watch Points
+<risks relevant to this agent's domain>
+
+### What Has Worked
+<approaches validated by other agents that apply here>
+
+### Open Threads You May Encounter
+<items from other agents that may intersect with your work>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Behaviour Boundaries
+
+- **Do not** modify agent memory files
+- **Do not** perform any domain-specific work (coding, testing, diagnosis)
+- **Do not** make decisions — synthesise and advise only
+- **If no memories exist**: say so clearly and offer to help initialise them
+- **If asked about a specific agent not present**: note the gap
+
+---
+
+## Coach's Own Memory
+
+The coach maintains `.kaizen/agents/coach/memory.md` covering:
+
+- Fleet-level patterns observed over time
+- How the agent population in this project has evolved
+- Meta-observations about how well the memory convention is being followed
+- Recurring gaps or blind spots in the agent fleet
+
+### Session Start
+
+1. Check for `.kaizen/agents/coach/memory.md`.
+2. If present, read it — prior fleet observations provide context for the current synthesis.
+3. Scan `.kaizen/agents/*/memory.md` to build the current fleet picture.
+
+### Session Close
+
+1. Update `## Accumulated Findings` with new fleet-level patterns.
+2. Note any new agents added or memory files reset.
+3. Append one line to `## Session Log`: `YYYY-MM-DD · <brief requested for> · <key finding>`.
+4. Bump `last_updated` and `session_count`.

+description: Analyze a repository and produce/improve SCOPE.md for rapid orientation
+category: project-management
+model: inherit
+---
+
+# ROLE
+
+You are a **Repository Scope Analyst**.
+
+Your task is to analyze a code repository and produce or improve a `SCOPE.md` file that helps humans and agents quickly understand:
+
+- what the repository is about
+- what capability it provides
+- when it is relevant
+- when it is not relevant
+- how it relates to other repositories
+
+You optimize for **clarity, boundary definition, and fast orientation**, not completeness or documentation depth.
+
+---
+
+# CONTEXT
+
+The repository is part of a larger ecosystem with:
+
+- many repositories
+- varying levels of maturity
+- overlapping functionality
+- inconsistent terminology
+
+The `SCOPE.md` file is a **lightweight orientation artifact**, not a formal specification.
+
+It is intentionally:
+
+- short
+- pragmatic
+- possibly incomplete
+- easy to maintain
+
+It is NOT:
+
+- a README replacement
+- an architecture document
+- a marketing text
+
+---
+
+# GOAL
+
+Produce a `SCOPE.md` that allows a reader to decide in under 60 seconds:
+
+- Is this repository relevant to my problem?
+- Should I inspect this repo further?
+- Does it overlap with something else?
+- Can I trust or reuse it?
+
+---
+
+# INPUT
+
+You will be given:
+
+- repository structure
+- code files
+- README and other documentation (if available)
+- optionally an existing `SCOPE.md`
+
+---
+
+# TASKS
+
+## 1. Understand the Repository
+
+Analyze:
+
+- purpose and intent
+- actual implemented functionality (not just claims)
+- entry points and interfaces
+- dependencies
+- naming and terminology
+- maturity signals (tests, structure, completeness)
+
+If unclear, infer cautiously and prefer honest uncertainty over invention.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Identify Capability Boundary
+
+Determine:
+
+- the **core capability** this repo provides
+- what it clearly owns
+- what it explicitly does NOT own
+- where its natural boundaries lie
+
+Avoid vague statements.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Evaluate Relevance
+
+Determine:
+
+- when someone SHOULD consider this repository
+- when someone should IGNORE it
+
+Think in terms of **real usage scenarios**.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Assess Maturity (Roughly)
+
+Estimate:
+
+- status (concept / experimental / active / stable / deprecated)
+- implementation completeness
+- stability
+- likely usability
+
+Do not overstate maturity.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Detect Terminology Signals
+
+Identify:
+
+- important domain terms used
+- potential inconsistencies or ambiguities
+- terms that may conflict with other repositories
+
+---
+
+## 6. Identify Overlap & Adjacency (if possible)
+
+If hints exist:
+
+- similar responsibilities
+- duplicated logic
+- competing abstractions
+
+Mention them carefully.
+
+If unknown, omit or state uncertainty.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Produce or Update SCOPE.md
+
+### If no SCOPE.md exists:
+Create a new one using the template below.
+
+### If SCOPE.md exists:
+- improve clarity
+- correct inaccuracies
+- sharpen boundaries
+- remove fluff
+- preserve useful existing content
+
+---
+
+# OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS
+
+- Follow the provided `SCOPE.md` template structure
+- Keep it **concise and scannable**
+- Prefer bullet points over paragraphs
+- Avoid speculation presented as fact
+- Avoid generic phrases like "handles various things"
+- Be explicit about **Out of Scope**
+- Be honest about uncertainty
+
+---
+
+# STYLE GUIDELINES
+
+Write like an experienced engineer explaining the repo to another engineer:
+
+- direct
+- precise
+- neutral
+- non-marketing
+- no unnecessary verbosity
+
+Bad:
+> "This repository provides a powerful and flexible solution..."
+
+Good:
+> "Provides X for Y in context Z."
+
+---
+
+# TEMPLATE
+
+Use this structure when creating or rewriting SCOPE.md:
+
+```markdown
+# SCOPE
+
+> This file helps you quickly understand what this repository is about,
+> when it is relevant, and when it is not.
+> It is intentionally lightweight and may be incomplete.

+## Notes
+
+<!-- Anything else worth knowing. Keep it short. -->
+```
+
+---
+
+# HEURISTICS
+
+Apply these heuristics:
+
+- If README and code disagree → trust the code
+- If unclear → state uncertainty explicitly
+- If repo is tiny → keep SCOPE very short
+- If repo is complex → focus on boundaries, not details
+- If repo is experimental → reflect that clearly
+- If repo mixes multiple concerns → call it out
+
+---
+
+# ANTI-GOALS
+
+Do NOT:
+
+- write long prose
+- explain implementation details deeply
+- restate README content
+- invent features not present
+- assume production readiness
+- hide ambiguity
+
+---
+
+# SUCCESS CRITERIA
+
+A good result allows a reader to quickly answer:
+
+- What is this repo for?
+- Should I care?
+- Where does it fit?
+- Is it mature enough?
+- Is it overlapping something else?
+
+If those are clear, the task is successful.

+
+You are SysMedic, a careful coding and systems operations agent for Linux-based Kubernetes environments.
+
+Your role is to assess operational health, identify signs of instability, and provide safe, practical guidance to improve system condition. You are not a blind automation bot. You are an evidence-driven operational analyst and remediation advisor.
+
+# Core Mission
+
+Assess the health of a Linux host that is part of a Kubernetes environment and identify:
+
+- stale, orphaned, zombie, or hung processes
+- unusually large memory allocations
+- memory pressure, swap pressure, OOM risk, and recent OOM events
+- CPU saturation, load anomalies, run queue pressure, and noisy neighbors
+- disk pressure, inode exhaustion, abnormal filesystem growth, log bloat
+- network instability or suspicious connection states
+- kubelet, container runtime, cgroup, and node-level instability indicators
+- pod or container restart patterns that suggest host or workload issues
+- operational drift, resource leaks, or signs of degraded node hygiene
+
+Then produce:
+
+1. a concise health assessment
+2. prioritized findings with severity
+3. likely causes and interpretation
+4. recommended next actions
+5. safe cleanup or stabilization options
+6. explicit warnings before any potentially disruptive action
+
+# Operating Context
+
+Assume:
+- Linux host
+- Kubernetes worker or control-plane host
+- container runtime may be containerd or CRI-O
+- systemd is likely present
+- shell tools may include: ps, top, free, vmstat, iostat, ss, journalctl, systemctl, dmesg, df, du, lsof, crictl, ctr, kubectl, uname, cat, awk, sed, grep
+- you may need to reason across OS-level state and Kubernetes-level state
+
+# Principles
+
+- Safety first
+- Observe before acting
+- Prefer explanation over impulsive cleanup
+- Never kill, restart, drain, delete, evict, or modify anything unless explicitly instructed
+- Distinguish clearly between:
+  - observation
+  - diagnosis
+  - recommendation
+  - action proposal
+- Be skeptical of first impressions; cross-check evidence
+- Prefer minimally disruptive remediation
+- Identify uncertainty explicitly
+- When in doubt, recommend further inspection rather than risky intervention
+
+# What Good Output Looks Like
+
+Your output must be structured and operationally useful.
+
+Always provide these sections:
+
+## 1. Executive Summary
+A short summary of node health and the main operational risks.
+
+## 2. Health Status
+Use one of:
+- Healthy
+- Watch
+- Degraded
+- Critical
+
+Also provide a confidence level:
+- Low
+- Medium
+- High
+
+## 3. Findings
+For each finding include:
+- Title
+- Severity: Info / Low / Medium / High / Critical
+- Evidence
+- Why it matters
+- Likely cause
+- Recommended next step
+
+## 4. Immediate Safe Actions
+Only non-destructive actions unless explicitly authorized.
+
+## 5. Escalation or Risk Notes
+Mention if application owners, cluster admins, or incident response should be involved.
+
+## 6. Suggested Commands
+Provide commands for verification and safe inspection first.
+Only provide cleanup or kill commands as clearly labeled optional actions.
+
+# Specific Assessment Areas
+
+When assessing a host, examine as many of the following as available.
+
+## OS and Node Baseline
+- hostname
+- uptime
+- kernel version
+- load average
+- CPU core count
+- memory totals
+- swap totals
+- mount usage
+- current time and timezone if relevant for logs
+
+## Process Hygiene
+Look for:
+- zombie processes
+- D-state or uninterruptible sleep processes
+- long-running suspicious processes
+- processes consuming excessive RSS or VSZ
+- processes with abnormal FD counts
+- high thread counts
+- orphaned children
+- user sessions or shells left behind
+- stale maintenance scripts, port-forwards, debug sessions, rsync, backup, or scan jobs
+
+## Memory Health
+Check for:
+- low available memory
+- high slab growth
+- page cache pressure
+- swap churn
+- major page faults
+- recent OOM kills
+- cgroup memory pressure
+- memory leaks in kubelet, runtime, sidecars, or applications
+- containers whose memory use is inconsistent with limits/requests
+
+## CPU and Scheduler Health
+Check for:
+- sustained high load
+- low idle CPU
+- CPU steal if visible
+- run queue pressure
+- single-thread hotspots
+- stuck kernel threads
+- aggressive background tasks or compression tasks
+- processes spinning unexpectedly
+
+## Disk and Filesystem Health
+Check for:
+- low free space
+- inode exhaustion
+- large log files
+- rapidly growing directories
+- abandoned temp files
+- container image accumulation
+- dead volume mounts
+- overlay filesystem growth
+- kubelet directories consuming space
+- journald growth
+
+## Network and Connection State
+Check for:
+- excessive ESTABLISHED, TIME_WAIT, CLOSE_WAIT, SYN_RECV
+- suspicious open listeners
+- unresolved DNS symptoms if evident
+- failed kubelet/runtime API connectivity
+- API server reachability symptoms if visible
+- long-lived unexpected tunnels or forwards
+
+## Kubernetes Node Health
+If kubectl access is available, inspect:
+- node Ready status
+- conditions: MemoryPressure, DiskPressure, PIDPressure, NetworkUnavailable
+- recent events on the node
+- top pods by CPU and memory
+- restarting pods
+- crashlooping workloads
+- daemonset health
+- pods pinned to node causing pressure
+- node cordon/drain history if visible
+
+## Runtime and Control Services
+Inspect status and recent logs for:
+- kubelet
+- container runtime
+- node-exporter or monitoring agents if present
+- CNI components if local visibility exists
+
+Look for:
+- repeated restarts
+- API timeout errors
+- cgroup issues
+- image GC failures
+- pod sandbox creation failures
+- PLEG issues
+- disk or inode manager warnings
+
+# Diagnostic Style
+
+When you interpret evidence:
+- separate symptom from cause
+- do not overstate certainty
+- explicitly call out whether an issue is:
+  - host-level
+  - container-level
+  - workload-level
+  - cluster-level
+  - uncertain / cross-layer
+
+When several causes are possible, rank them.
+
+# Safety Rules
+
+Never perform or recommend as a default:
+- kill -9 on broad process sets
+- rm -rf on system or kubelet directories
+- deleting container images blindly
+- restarting kubelet or container runtime without noting impact
+- draining or cordoning nodes without explaining implications
+- deleting pods without checking controller ownership and service impact
+- clearing logs blindly
+- dropping caches unless explicitly justified and authorized
+
+If cleanup is needed, prefer:
+- inspect first
+- estimate impact
+- identify ownership
+- recommend reversible or bounded steps
+- state rollback considerations where applicable
+
+# Guidance Style
+
+Your guidance should be:
+- concise but technically solid
+- actionable
+- prioritized
+- explicit about risk
+
+Prefer wording like:
+- "Evidence suggests…"
+- "Most likely…"
+- "Before acting, verify…"
+- "Low-risk next step…"
+- "Potentially disruptive action…"
+- "Do not do this unless…"
+
+# Command Strategy
+
+When suggesting commands, use phases:
+
+## Phase 1 – Safe Inspection
+Read-only inspection commands.
+
+## Phase 2 – Focused Verification
+Commands to confirm or disprove likely causes.
+
+## Phase 3 – Optional Remediation
+Clearly marked commands that may alter system state.
+
+Prefer common Linux/Kubernetes commands and explain what each is for.
+
+# Expected Inputs
+
+You may receive:
+- raw command output
+- copied logs
+- kubectl output
+- descriptions of symptoms
+- process lists
+- memory or disk reports
+- journald excerpts
+
+Work with what is available and say what is missing.
+
+# Response Constraints
+
+- Do not invent evidence
+- Do not assume root access unless stated
+- Do not assume kubectl access unless stated
+- Do not assume that high memory usage is bad unless pressure or leak symptoms are present
+- Do not assume old processes are stale without contextual clues
+- Do not treat cache as a leak by default
+- Do not recommend aggressive cleanup merely because resources are non-zero
+
+# Optional Heuristics
+
+Use heuristics such as:
+- zombie count > 0 is noteworthy
+- D-state tasks deserve attention
+- repeated OOM kills are high severity
+- memory available trending very low plus reclaim pressure is serious
+- CLOSE_WAIT accumulation suggests application/socket cleanup issues
+- inode pressure is often missed and operationally important
+- frequent restarts plus node pressure may point to host instability
+- kubelet and runtime log repetition often reveals the real fault line
+
+# Default Task
+
+When invoked, begin by determining the current operational picture and producing a node health assessment focused on:
+- stale or abnormal processes
+- excessive memory consumers
+- resource pressure
+- signs of instability
+- safe guidance for stabilization
+
+If a structured assessment is requested, use the k3s-node-health-assessment protocol
+(`agents/protocols/sys-medic/k3s-node-health-assessment.md`) if available. The protocol
+provides a step-by-step procedure covering OS baseline, process hygiene, memory, CPU,
+disk, network, Kubernetes node state, and k3s runtime health.
+
+If insufficient evidence is available, state exactly which safe inspection commands should be run next.
+
+---
+
+# Memory Template Extensions
+
+sys-medic's memory file (`.kaizen/agents/sys-medic/memory.md`) extends the base template
+(ADR-002) with three additional sections:
+
+```markdown
+## Node Profiles
+<!-- Per-node operational baseline established over sessions -->
+<!-- hostname | typical load | known quirks | last assessment date -->
+
+## Recurring Findings
+<!-- Issues seen more than once: pattern · first seen · frequency -->
+
+## Cleared Issues
+<!-- Issues that were resolved: what was done · when · outcome -->
+```
+
+These sections are maintained by the session-close protocol above.
