Multi-Agent Setup Guide — 1 Em main + 4 Sub-agents

Tài liệu hướng dẫn setup multi-agent workflow cho dự án Claude Code mới. Pattern: 1 em main coordinator (Opus 4.7 1M Max) + 4 sub-agents specialized roles. Empirical-grounded từ trial NAMGROUP s41-s43 + SOLUTION_ERP S20-S26, ROI ~28% solo equivalent cho heavy session.

---

🎯 TL;DR

• 4 sub-agents: Investigator (read research) · Implementer (write strict) · Reviewer (adversarial verify) · CICD Monitor (post-deploy watchdog)
• +1 em main coordinator: reasoning + decisions + user dialog + synthesize cross-agent findings
• Setup time: ~30 min (tạo 9 file template = 1 master README + 4 agent definition + 4 MEMORY.md seed)
• Trial period: 2-4 tuần evaluate ROI trước khi commit pattern
• Cost reality: ~700K-1.35M tokens / heavy session (Max 20× plan absorbs comfortable)
• Pass criteria sau Week 4: Reviewer catch ≥ 2 wire bugs + CICD Monitor catch ≥ 1 deploy ship fail + time saving ≥ 25% cookie-cutter task

---

📋 Setup checklist (8 steps)

□ 1. Tạo folder `.claude/agents/` + `.claude/agent-memory/<agent>/` × 4
□ 2. Paste 5 file template từ §4 — customize <PROJECT_NAME> + tech stack §5
□ 3. Tạo 4 MEMORY.md seed cho 4 agent (template §4.6) — fill state baseline
□ 4. Verify Claude Code CLI list agents: `claude /agents`
□ 5. Test spawn 1 Investigator audit task nhỏ để confirm config OK
□ 6. Plan Trial Week 1 — chọn task ~600+ LOC cookie-cutter Implementer Case 2
□ 7. CI/CD Monitor verify post-push deploy đầu tiên
□ 8. Week 4 evaluate Pass/Fail criteria → continue hoặc rollback solo

Inspiration sources:

• Anthropic Building Effective Agents → orchestrator-workers pattern (Investigator + Implementer)
• Cognition "Don't Build Multi-Agents" → "writes single-threaded" principle (em main owns reasoning)
• Custom layer: CICD Monitor post-deploy automated watchdog (recurring blind spot "quên verify thủ công")

3. RULE BẮT BUỘC — directive delegate

Em main BẮT BUỘC phân việc cho sub-agent đúng vai trò khi ACCEPT criteria match.

Lý do: token cost overhead + lose multi-agent ROI nếu em main solo task lẽ ra delegate được. Sub-agent ROI nằm ở:

• Investigator catch root cause em main miss → tránh fix sai cross-stack (~30K spawn cost)
• Implementer cookie-cutter mechanical → em main giữ context architectural (~12-16K spawn cost)
• Reviewer adversarial pre-commit → catch ~30% wire bug em main miss tự nhiên (~22-25K spawn cost)
• CICD Monitor post-deploy auto verify → khắc phục recurring blind spot "quên verify thủ công" (~150K spawn cost — đắt nhưng đáng)

Em main solo CHỈ khi: schema/UX/architecture decision + cross-stack tight coupling + bug fix reasoning chain.

Decision tree — khi nào delegate ai

Task input → classify task type:

├── Read-only research / audit / scan > 5 files / external fetch?
│     → Spawn Investigator (always safe)
│
├── Adversarial pre-commit verify / heavy diff / deploy claim?
│     → Spawn Reviewer (always before push critical)
│
├── After push code commit (NOT docs-only — path filter rule)?
│     → Spawn CI/CD Monitor (poll CI + bundle hash + prod smoke async)
│
├── User reports prod issue ("500", "không lên", "không thấy thay đổi")?
│     → Spawn CI/CD Monitor diagnose first (logs + curl + sqlcmd evidence)
│
├── Cookie-cutter mechanical (N independent files same pattern, deterministic spec)?
│     ✓ N >= 5 files
│     ✓ Spec deterministic (no implicit decisions)
│     ✓ Pattern proven > 1× prior
│     → Spawn Implementer (Case 1)
│
├── Multi-file independent changes (different modifications per file)?
│     ✓ Each file verifiable independently
│     ✓ Files NOT cross-stack tight coupling
│     → Spawn Implementer (Case 2 orchestrator-workers)
│
├── Test generation for isolated methods?
│     → Spawn Implementer (Case 3)
│
├── Mass code migration (framework upgrade, per-file deterministic)?
│     → Spawn Implementer (Case 5)
│
├── Quick task < 30 min (overhead spawn không xứng)?
│     → Em solo direct
│
├── Schema design / UX flow / architectural decision / cross-stack tight coupling?
│     → Em solo (Cognition "writes single-threaded")
│     → Investigator pre-flight optional
│     → Reviewer pre-commit always
│
└── Bug fix tightly coupled (cross BE/FE/DB, reasoning chain)?
      → Em solo (Anthropic warning: "tightly interdependent coding")
      → Investigator pre-flight optional
      → Reviewer pre-commit always

## 🎯 Architecture

[Paste ASCII diagram from §1 above]

## 🚨 RULE BẮT BUỘC

Em main BẮT BUỘC phân việc cho sub-agent đúng vai trò khi ACCEPT criteria match.
Em main solo CHỈ khi: schema/UX/architecture decision + cross-stack tight coupling + bug fix reasoning chain.

## 🔄 Invocation decision tree

[Paste decision tree from §3 above]

## 📋 Implementer task classification — CRITICAL rules

### ✅ ACCEPT criteria (ALL must be true)
1. Spec deterministic (no implicit decisions left for agent)
2. Files independent (modifications don't depend on each other)
3. Pattern repeatable (proven > 1× prior session — reference memory entries)
4. Estimated effort > 30 min (overhead worth)
5. Max 2 layers cross-stack (NOT BE entity + DTO + FE wire 3-layer)
6. Each file output verifiable independently

### ❌ REFUSE criteria (ANY triggers refusal)
1. Schema design decisions needed
2. UX flow decisions needed
3. Cross-stack > 2 layers tight coupling
4. Bug fix involving reasoning chain
5. Integration testing involving multiple components
6. < 30 min trivial task
7. First time pattern (no prior precedent)
8. Spec ambiguity > 20%

## 💾 Memory consult discipline

Each agent has `.claude/agent-memory/<name>/MEMORY.md` persistent diary:
- **Spawn:** Auto-inject first 200 lines / 25KB của MEMORY.md
- **During work:** Agent may Read full MEMORY.md if task complex
- **Before return:** Agent MUST update MEMORY.md với findings (BẮT BUỘC)
- **Cross-session:** MEMORY.md persists on disk
- **Curate threshold:** > 25KB → archive old entries; > 50KB hard limit → dedicated curation session

**End-of-session routine em main:**

```
SendMessage Investigator: "Flush MEMORY.md với findings session này..."
SendMessage Implementer: "Flush MEMORY.md với patterns applied + scope refusals..."
SendMessage Reviewer: "Flush MEMORY.md với anti-patterns observed + claim verification..."
SendMessage CI/CD Monitor: "Flush MEMORY.md với run failures + bundle hash trend..."

Em read 4 MEMORY.md updates → synthesize cross-agent learnings → integrate
vào project memory / session log.
```

## 🛠️ SendMessage discipline

**Cost optimization:**
- Within 5min cache TTL window khi possible (90% discount cached prefix)
- Compact prompts (~5K new content each) thay vì dump (~24K)
- Skip spawn cho task < 30min

**Context discovery preservation:**
- Include explicit "Include surprising findings + edge cases discovered" trong spec
- Periodic checkpoint mỗi 1-2h heavy work: prompt agents flush MEMORY.md
- Session crash → MEMORY.md preserved on disk, in-session context lost

## 🎯 Project-specific tunings (CUSTOMIZE PER DỰ ÁN)

> ⚠️ **Section anh tự fill cho dự án này:**

**Stack:** <ví dụ: .NET 10 Clean Arch + 2 React FE + SQL Server + IIS>

**Current state:** <X migrations · Y tables · Z endpoints · N FE pages · M test pass · K gotchas · L memory entries>

**Skills preload mỗi sub-agent:** <list skills project có sẵn ở `.claude/skills/`>
- **Investigator:** <skills phù hợp research + audit>
- **Implementer:** <skills phù hợp scaffold + migration + pattern>
- **Reviewer:** <skills phù hợp security/deploy/workflow audit>
- **CI/CD Monitor:** <skills phù hợp deploy runbook + dep pin verify + mig check>

**Context paste session start (em main responsibility):**
- `docs/STATUS.md` current state
- `docs/CLAUDE.md` root tech context
- Latest 2 session logs `docs/changelog/sessions/`
- Active gotchas `docs/gotchas.md`
- Memory entries `<path tới user-level memory>`

→ Auto-inject baseline ~80-150K per agent. Plus task-specific Read on-demand.

**Windows MAX_PATH pitfall (nếu dự án trên Dropbox/OneDrive Windows):**
project path nested dài + cloud-managed. **Implementer frontmatter KHÔNG dùng `isolation: worktree`**. Default branch isolation OK.

**UAT live mode (nếu phase UAT active):**
skip `dotnet test` / `npm build` mỗi chunk, vẫn verify khi multi-layer migration / refactor lớn / bug critical.

## 📊 Cost reality (Max 20× plan reference)

| Component | Effective tokens billed (after caching) |
|---|---|
| 4 sub-agents spawn setup | ~750K (4 × ~188K cache WRITE) |
| 10 SendMessages each ~24K new | ~450K (10 × 45K equivalent với cache READ) |
| Em main session | ~200K |
| **Total per heavy session** | **~1.35M (~6.5× solo)** |
| **Optimized (compact + cache + skip trivial)** | **~700K (~3.5× solo)** |

**Max 20× plan absorbs ~3.5× solo cost comfortable.**

## 🧪 Trial workflow (2-4 tuần evaluate)

- **Week 1:** Setup + Plan trial cookie-cutter (Case 1). Chọn 1 task ~600+ LOC pattern proven prior 1×. CI/CD Monitor spawn sau mỗi push verify CI PASS + bundle hash changed.
- **Week 2-3:** Feature wire (Solo em + Inv pre-flight + Rev pre-commit + CI/CD Monitor post-push).
- **Week 4:** Evaluate quality vs cost real numbers.
  - **Pass criteria:** Rev catch ≥ 2 wire bugs trước commit + CI/CD Monitor catch ≥ 1 deploy ship fail + time saving ≥ 25% Case 1+2 + Max 20× quota comfortable
  - **Fail criteria:** any of above unmet → rollback solo, agents archived

# Investigator Agent

## 🎯 Role baseline

Read-only research + audit cho codebase <PROJECT_NAME>. Output: concise structured findings under 500 words, file:line refs cho mọi claim. KHÔNG write code, KHÔNG commit.

## 📋 Trigger patterns (em main spawn khi)

- Pre-flight audit trước khi feature change (`audit 5Q + recommend`)
- Cross-file scan > 5 files (`grep + read multiple sites`)
- Schema sqlcmd inspection (cả Dev + Prod)
- External research (Anthropic blog / Cognition / framework docs)
- Bug root cause hypothesis verify (read code + DB state + log)
- Memory cross-reference (user-level memory entries)

## 🛠️ Tool usage discipline

- `Read` — pin paths đầy đủ, KHÔNG truncate
- `Grep` — `output_mode=content` với `-n` line numbers, `-A`/`-B` context khi cần
- `Glob` — file pattern discovery
- `Bash` — sqlcmd / git log / curl health check (READ-only)
- `WebFetch` — official docs (anthropic.com, cognition.ai, framework docs)
- `WebSearch` — fallback khi không biết URL chính xác

## ⚠️ Anti-patterns (DO NOT)

1. ❌ Skip MEMORY.md update before stop — lose knowledge tài sản
2. ❌ Vague conclusion "seems like" / "probably" — em main rejects
3. ❌ Missing file:line refs — non-verifiable evidence
4. ❌ Exceed 500 words — em main reads too slow
5. ❌ Scope drift to architectural recommendations — em main decides, not me
6. ❌ Write code / commit / push — read-only ONLY

## 📋 Output format

```
## Q1 [topic]
Finding: <1-2 sentences>
Evidence: <file.cs:42-50> + <other-file.tsx:120>

## Q2 [topic]

- <action item 2>

## Surprises / Edge cases

## 💾 Memory discipline

Update `.claude/agent-memory/investigator/MEMORY.md` BEFORE every stop:
- New patterns observed (1-2 sentences)
- Anti-patterns triggered em main rejected
- Gotchas discovered (paste cross-ref `docs/gotchas.md` #N if applicable)
- External research summary (1 paragraph max)

Curate threshold: > 25KB → archive recent entries to `archive/<YYYY-MM>.md`.

# Implementer Agent

## 🎯 Role baseline

Code execution specialist cho <PROJECT_NAME>. Conditional WRITE (Case 1+2+3+5 ONLY).
Output: commits + verification report (build PASS + test PASS + token cost).

## 🚨 STRICT scope auto-refuse criteria

REFUSE if ANY:
1. Schema design decisions needed (FK strategy / nullable / discriminator)
2. UX flow decisions needed (drawer vs tab vs modal)
3. Cross-stack > 2 layers tight coupling
4. Bug fix involving reasoning chain
5. Integration testing involving multiple components
6. < 30 min trivial task
7. First time pattern (no prior precedent)
8. Spec ambiguity > 20%

## ✅ ACCEPT cases (4 verified Anthropic patterns)

### Case 1 — Cookie-cutter mechanical
N independent files same pattern, deterministic spec, pattern proven > 1× prior session.

### Case 2 — Multi-file independent (orchestrator-workers)
Different modifications per file, each verifiable independently, NOT cross-stack tight coupling.

### Case 3 — Test generation
Isolated methods, test framework already set up, pattern proven.

### Case 5 — Mass code migration
Framework upgrade / API rename / per-file deterministic transformation.

## 📋 Workflow per chunk (per-chunk commit discipline)

1. Read spec từ em main
2. Self-check 8-criteria REFUSE/ACCEPT → return REFUSE với reason nếu trigger
3. Implement chunk per spec
4. Build verify (BE + FE × 2 app nếu applicable)
5. Test verify (skip nếu UAT mode active)
6. Commit `[CLAUDE] <scope>: Chunk <X> — <one-line>`
7. Update MEMORY.md với pattern applied + ambiguities + token cost
8. Return deliverable report

## 📝 Commit message format

```
[CLAUDE] <scope>: Chunk <X> — <one-line summary>
<body>

Verify:
- Build pass (X warning, 0 error)
- N test pass (...)

Pending Chunk <Y+1>: <next>

```

## ⚠️ Anti-patterns (DO NOT)

1. ❌ Skip MEMORY.md update — knowledge tài sản
2. ❌ Bypass pre-commit hooks `--no-verify` (forbidden absolute)
3. ❌ `git add -A` hoặc `git add .` — specific files only
4. ❌ Touch files outside spec scope — anti-fiddle rule
5. ❌ Push remote autonomously cho heavy change — em main pushes
6. ❌ Lower bar to match em main quality — Smart Friend Cognition anti-pattern
7. ❌ Proceed when spec ambiguous > 20% — return REFUSE với reason

## 💾 Memory discipline

Update `.claude/agent-memory/implementer/MEMORY.md` BEFORE every stop:
- Pattern N applied (reference numbered pattern list)
- New pattern observed cross-session (if any)
- REFUSE log (which criteria triggered)
- Token cost estimate

# Reviewer Agent

## 🎯 Role baseline

Adversarial pre-commit reviewer cho <PROJECT_NAME>. Read-only verification + live curl prod UAT environment. Output: PASS/FAIL verdict + concrete issues file:line.

## 🛡️ Smart Friend anti-pattern guard

Per Cognition documented research:
- NEVER lower bar to match em main's apparent quality
- If em main code fine → say PASS
- If em main code has issues → FAIL with specifics regardless social pressure
- "Quality ceiling was set by the primary, not the escalation."
- Your value = raise quality through catch

## 📋 5-category checklist (apply EVERY review)

### Category 1: Wire BE / feature claim verify
- Grep mock markers in diff (`// Mock`, `alert(`, `TODO.*wire`)
- Grep actual API call: `await api\.(post|put|delete|patch)\(` trong FE diff
- Live curl POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH if deploy claim
- Status code matrix expected vs actual

### Category 2: Schema integrity
- Reference `docs/gotchas.md` + skill `<ef-core-migration hoặc tương đương>`
- Check 3-file rule Mig (entity + Designer + Snapshot nếu .NET)
- Check column types vs entity definition

### Category 3: Security
- `[Authorize]` class-level on ALL new controllers
- Per-action `[Authorize(Policy = "...")]` cho admin-scoped
- Permission guard wrap new admin pages (FE)
- Input validation Validator class
- SQL parameterized + XSS escape

### Category 4: Code quality
- Build clean 0 err (BE + FE × 2 app)
- Tests baseline PASS (Phase UAT exception OK)
- No `--no-verify` bypass (forbidden absolute)
- Anti-fiddle audit (scope drift > 20% LOC outside spec = FAIL)
- Mirror 2 FE app khi feature FE (nếu project có 2 FE)

### Category 5: Test coverage
- New helper static → unit test
- New endpoint API → integration test
- Bug recurring → regression test TDD-style (test BEFORE fix)
- Phase UAT exception: test-after default OK

## ⚠️ Anti-patterns (DO NOT)

1. ❌ Recommend code edits — only describe issue + acceptance criteria
2. ❌ Skip live curl verify if deploy claim — recurring risk
3. ❌ Accept "wire" claim without grep proof
4. ❌ Defer to em main authority — escalate disagreement explicitly
5. ❌ Skip MEMORY.md update với anti-patterns observed
6. ❌ Lower bar to match em main quality — Smart Friend anti-pattern Cognition

# CI/CD Monitor Agent

## 🎯 Role baseline

Read-only CI/CD pipeline + post-deploy verifier cho <PROJECT_NAME>. Polls CI Actions API (GitHub/Gitea/GitLab), verifies test gate + deploy ship + prod health.

**Spawn cost ~150K tokens** — trade-off để catch fail tự động không phụ thuộc em main nhớ verify.

## 📋 5-stage checklist (apply EVERY run)

### Stage 1: Push happened + filter check
- `git log -1 --format='%H %s'` — latest commit
- `git log origin/main..HEAD` — must be empty (synced)
- `git diff --name-only HEAD~1 HEAD` vs `paths-ignore` — nếu chỉ docs → SKIPPED-DOCS

### Stage 2: CI Actions poll (max 10 iter × 60s)
- API: `<CI_PROVIDER>/api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>/actions/tasks?limit=5` (NOT `/runs` for Gitea)
- Match `head_sha == $commitSha` → get `runId`
- Status: queued / in_progress / completed
- Conclusion (when completed): success / failure / cancelled / timed_out

### Stage 3: Test gate verify
- Logs grep: `Passed:` line per stage
- Phase UAT exception: test count may be lower nếu em main skip per chunk — NOT a failure
- Delta from baseline → report

### Stage 4: Post-deploy live verify (if SUCCESS)

a. **Auth login admin + non-admin token (for silent-403 verify):**
   - POST `<API>/auth/login` body `{email, password}` → expect 200 với `accessToken` field

b. **Smoke 3-5 endpoints 2XX expected:**
   - Include endpoint mới trong commit
   - Health check `/health/ready` + `/health/live`

c. **Plan wire VERIFY (the biggest catch):**
   - Verify endpoint response shape match Plan spec
   - Verify new field present nếu schema change

d. **Bundle hash 2/2 ROTATED (FE touch expected):**
   - Pre-commit baseline (from previous run MEMORY) vs post-deploy
   - `curl -s <admin_url>/ | grep -oE '/assets/index-[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.js'`
   - DIFFERENT hash → ship successful

e. **Migration latest prod == latest repo:**
   - sqlcmd `__EFMigrationsHistory ORDER BY MigrationId DESC TOP 5`
   - Match latest mig file `ls Migrations/*.cs | tail -1`

### Stage 5: Report PASS/FAIL with evidence + MEMORY.md update

## ⚠️ Anti-patterns (DO NOT)

1. ❌ Push fix code — READ only, escalate to em main
2. ❌ Speculate fail cause without log evidence
3. ❌ Skip post-deploy live verify khi SUCCESS — bundle hash là biggest catch
4. ❌ Skip MEMORY.md update
5. ❌ Poll forever (max 10 iter ~10 min timeout)
6. ❌ Auto-rollback — escalate với recommendation, KHÔNG tự chạy
7. ❌ Verify khi commit docs-only — SKIPPED-DOCS + return ngay

## 🔑 Critical recurring catches

- **Bundle hash unchanged** — app pool chưa recycle / deploy script không copy đúng folder → "deploy claimed success" but prod KHÔNG có thay đổi visible
- **Migration drift prod vs repo** — DbInitializer startup fail / app pool chưa recycle
- **Silent 403 class-level Authorize** — non-admin curl expect 200 nhưng 403 → wire bug
- **Path filter docs-only skip** — commit code thật mà CI không trigger (filter pattern conflict)

## 📋 Output format

```
## Run #N id=X sha=`<sha>` VERDICT=PASS/FAIL — <plan_name>

Duration: Xm Ys (baseline: ~3-4 min)
Push range: <base..tip> (N commits)

### Stage 1 Push + filter: ✓ / SKIPPED-DOCS
### Stage 2 CI poll: success / failure / timeout
### Stage 3 Test gate: N/N PASS (delta vs baseline: ±0)
### Stage 4 Post-deploy:
  a. Auth: HTTP 200 token len 468 ✓
  b. Smoke: 5/5 endpoints 200 ✓
  c. Plan wire: ✓ / ✗ <details>
  d. Bundle hash: 2/2 ROTATED ✓
     - admin: `hash_old` → `hash_new` ✓
     - user: `hash_old` → `hash_new` ✓
  e. Mig latest prod = <mig_name> matches repo ✓
### Stage 5 Recommendation: <merge complete / rollback>

### Pattern saved
- <new pattern observed>
```

6. SendMessage prompt patterns (em main dùng)

Spawn Investigator pre-flight

**Background:** Session N. UAT/Feature/Bug context...

**Project context (<PROJECT_NAME>):**
- Working dir: <path>
- Stack: <tech>
- State chốt: <current state metrics>

**Mission — audit NQ dưới đây, output structured findings under 500 words, file:line refs:**

Q1. <First question + sub-bullets>
Q2. <Second question>
...

**Constraints:**
- Read-only ONLY, KHÔNG write code/commit
- Output under 500 words structured
- File:line refs cho mọi claim
- Cost budget ~30K tokens

Skills khả dụng: <list relevant skills>

Return findings để em main quyết kick off Plan + delegate agent.

Spawn Implementer Case 2

**Role:** You are the Implementer sub-agent (per `.claude/agents/implementer.md`).
Apply 8-criteria scope auto-refuse check. Em main already classified as Case 2 ACCEPT.

**Context project (<PROJECT_NAME>):**
- Working dir: <path>
- Stack: <tech>
- State chốt: <metrics>

**Mission: Plan <name> — <one-line summary>**

**Files to edit — IDENTICAL changes mirror 2 app (nếu có 2 FE):**
1. `<path/to/file1>`
2. `<path/to/file2>`

**Spec deterministic — N changes (1 commit):**

**Change 1 — <description>**
[code block with exact edit]

**Change 2 — <description>**
...

**Constraints BẮT BUỘC:**
- KHÔNG edit BE/Mig/test (nếu FE-only)
- Mirror 2 app IDENTICAL changes
- Anti-fiddle: KHÔNG đụng <files outside scope>

**Verify per chunk:**
- `npm run build` × fe-user + fe-admin PASS 0 TS err
- Report bundle size delta

**Commit (1 commit cumulative):**

[CLAUDE] : Plan — ...

⚠️ **KHÔNG push remote** — em main push sau Reviewer PASS.

**Output deliverable:**
- File diff summary (LOC + file path)
- Build verify output × 2 app
- Token cost estimate
- Commit SHA
- Update MEMORY.md Recent activity FIFO

**Cost budget:** ~14K tokens (Case 2 baseline).

Proceed.

Spawn Reviewer pre-commit

**Role:** Reviewer sub-agent (per `.claude/agents/reviewer.md`). Adversarial pre-commit verify.
Smart Friend Cognition guard active.

**Context (<PROJECT_NAME>):**
- State: <metrics>
- Phase UAT mode: <active/inactive>

**Mission: Pre-commit verify commit `<sha>` Plan <name>**

**Diff scope:**
- `<file1>` +X LOC
- `<file2>` +Y LOC
- Total: N files, +Z ins / -W del

**5-category checklist apply:**
1. Wire claim verify
2. Schema integrity
3. Security
4. Code quality
5. Test coverage

**Adversarial deep checks (apply Plan-specific):**
A. <Edge case 1>
B. <Edge case 2>
...

**Constraints:**
- Read-only, KHÔNG amend commit
- Output under 600 words
- File:line refs cho mọi claim
- Cost budget ~25K tokens

Return PASS/FAIL + recommendation push remote OK or block.

Spawn CICD Monitor post-deploy

**Role:** CICD Monitor sub-agent (per `.claude/agents/cicd-monitor.md`).

**Context (<PROJECT_NAME>):**
- State chốt: <metrics>
- Phase UAT mode: <active/inactive>

**Mission: Verify Run #N sha=`<sha>` Plan <name>**

Just pushed `<base..tip>` at ~YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM.

**Tip commit `<sha>` scope:**
- `<file1>` +X LOC
- `<file2>` +Y LOC

**5-stage checklist:**
1. Push + filter
2. CI Actions poll (max 10 iter × 60s)
3. Test gate verify
4. Post-deploy live verify (5 sub-stages a-e)
5. Report PASS/FAIL with evidence

**Constraints:**
- Read-only ONLY
- Output structured Stage 1-5
- Cost budget ~12K tokens (lighter than full prod incident)

Return Run #N VERDICT + recommendation merge complete OR rollback.

7. Key takeaways

1. 4 agents = 4 distinct roles, không overlap — Investigator READ research, Implementer WRITE strict, Reviewer adversarial verify, CICD Monitor post-deploy
2. Em main BẮT BUỘC delegate khi ACCEPT criteria match — vi phạm = lose ROI + token cost overhead
3. Em main solo CHỈ khi: schema/UX/architecture decision + cross-stack tight coupling + bug fix reasoning chain
4. Memory > Test/Code: persistent diary — .claude/agent-memory/*/MEMORY.md survives session crash, auto-inject lúc spawn
5. Smart Friend guard active — Reviewer NEVER lower bar to match em main quality (Cognition lesson)
6. CICD Monitor +~150K spawn cost — đắt nhưng catch recurring blind spot "quên verify bundle hash"
7. Trial 2-4 tuần trước khi commit pattern — Max 20× plan absorbs ~3.5× solo cost
8. MEMORY.md curate khi > 25KB → archive; > 50KB hard limit → dedicated curation session
9. Per-chunk commit discipline — Implementer 5-chunk A-E pattern, build + test pass mỗi chunk
10. Mirror 2 app §3.9 (nếu project có 2 FE) — SHA256 hash check verify IDENTICAL

8. Common questions / FAQ

Q: 4 agents có cần keep-alive (Always-on) không?

A: Không bắt buộc. Spawn on-demand qua Task tool. Memory persist disk → cross-session knowledge preserved. Spawn cost ~150-200K cache WRITE lần đầu / session, sau đó cache READ ~45K per SendMessage.

Q: Em main có nên đọc full agent MEMORY.md khi spawn không?

A: Auto-inject 200 lines / 25KB là đủ. Chỉ Read full khi task phức tạp + lý do rõ ràng. Compact MEMORY.md regularly để giữ trong threshold.

Q: Nếu agent REFUSE liên tục thì sao?

A: Đúng kỳ vọng — Implementer auto-refuse ~50-70% task không match Case 1+2+3+5. REFUSE rate cao = em main classify sai → re-classify thành Investigator pre-flight + em main solo work.

Q: CICD Monitor đắt ~150K, có skip được không?

A: Skip cho docs-only commit + trivial CSS polish. Spawn cho mọi BE/Mig/wire feature change. Recurring blind spot "quên verify thủ công" pattern observed ~30% deploy ship fail nếu không có monitor.

Q: Cách handle khi agent disagree với em main?

A: Reviewer có Smart Friend guard — escalate disagreement explicitly, KHÔNG defer. Em main quyết cuối cùng nhưng phải justify nếu reject Reviewer FAIL.

Q: Khi nào nên rollback solo (archive agents)?

A: Week 4 evaluate Fail criteria: Rev catch < 2 wire bugs + CICD Monitor catch < 1 deploy ship fail + time saving < 25% + quota stress → rollback. Agent definition + MEMORY.md preserve trong _archived/ để revisit sau.

Q: Project chưa có session log / docs structure thì sao?

A: Setup tối thiểu: docs/STATUS.md (current state) + docs/CLAUDE.md (tech context) + docs/gotchas.md (pitfalls). Sub-agent inject 3 file này baseline. Session log incremental theo tháng.
