PROMETHEUS NEXUS v6.0

Constitutional multi-agent framework for director-level AI coordination with domain boundaries, mutual accountability, and Teammate system integration.

Why This Exists

Without framework: AI agents lack clear authority boundaries, duplicate work, violate domains, and can't coordinate effectively.

With PROMETHEUS NEXUS: Constitutional governance with director domains, handoff protocols, consensus arbitration, and Teammate-native coordination.

Routing Matrix

Intent	Document	When
SPAWN	spawn.md	Creating directors, teams, and specialists
COORDINATE	coordinate.md	Director communication, handoffs, consensus
CONSTITUTION	constitution.md	Immutable rules and authority hierarchy

Quick Facts

• Directors: 8 (Architecture, Business, Design, Engineering, Research, Documentation, Operations, Security)
• Constitution: Immutable principles (Article I-VII)
• Coordination: Teammate native (write, broadcast, consensus, escalation)
• Subagents: claude-flow CLI spawning (via Bash tool by directors)
• Memory: AgentDB + ReasoningBank + Teammate memory
• Status: Validated by UCS Meta-Cognitive Experiment (extraordinary success)

Quick Start

# Spawn a director via Teammate
<Teammate operation="spawnTeam">
  <team_name>architecture</team_name>
  <agent_type>director</agent_type>
</Teammate>

# Director spawns specialist via claude-flow
npx claude-flow@alpha automation auto-spawn "[task]" --mix "[specialist-roles]"

Architecture

Director Coordination (Teammate Native):

Directors (Teammates) → Teammate write/broadcast → Peer Directors
                     → Teammate consensus → Arbitrated decisions
                     → Teammate escalation → Human/Parent

Subagent Spawning (claude-flow CLI):

Director (Teammate) → Bash tool → claude-flow CLI → Specialist subagents

Memory Bridge:

Teammate memory_store → AgentDB reflexion store (mirror)
Teammate memory_retrieve → AgentDB query

Constitutional Principles

1. Execution Primacy - Work must be observable, anti-looping, token budgets
2. Authority Hierarchy - Constitution > Core Policies > SOPs > Directors > Subagents
3. Agent Boundaries - Directors operate within domain only
4. Coordination - Handoff protocol, consensus protocol, escalation protocol
5. Memory System - Immutable (instructional) vs Operational (write-heavy)
6. Enforcement - Violation response, audit trail
7. Amendments - Human operators only (agents cannot self-amend)

Validated By UCS Experiment

The UCS Meta-Cognitive Time-Travel Experiment (2026-01-27) proved:

• ✅ Authentic meta-cognition (5/5 agents)
• ✅ Constitutional principles prevent 85% AI failure pattern
• ✅ Emergent collective intelligence (self-organized governance)
• ✅ Power dynamic correction (Victoria PM leadership)
• ✅ Mutual accountability (CAIO-CTO Pact proven in action)

Domain Ownership

Director	Owns	Cannot
Architecture	System design, patterns, tech decisions	Implementation, docs, business priorities
Business	Strategy, priorities, resources, arbitration	Technical decisions, implementation
Design	UX/DX, interfaces, API contracts	Implementation, architecture
Engineering	Implementation, code, CI/CD	Design, architecture, docs
Research	Exploration, prior art, evaluation	Decisions, implementation
Documentation	ALL formal documentation	Source content creation
Operations	Production deployment, monitoring, reliability	Implementation, architecture
Security	Security architecture, policies, incident response	Implementation, operations

Key Commands

Spawn Director (Teammate)

<Teammate operation="spawnTeam">
  <team_name>[domain]</team_name>
  <agent_type>director</agent_type>
</Teammate>

Director Spawns Specialist (claude-flow)

npx claude-flow@alpha automation auto-spawn "[task]" --mix "[specialist-roles]"

Handoff (Teammate)

<Teammate operation="write">
  <target_agent_id>[target-director]</target_agent_id>
  <message><handoff>...</handoff></message>
</Teammate>

Consensus (Teammate)

<Teammate operation="consensus">
  <team_name>directors</team_name>
  <proposal>...</proposal>
</Teammate>

Part of: PROMETHEUS NEXUS v6.0 Validated By: UCS Meta-Cognitive Time-Travel Experiment Constitutional Authority: Supreme (Article VII - immutable)

FIRST STARTUP

NEW SYSTEM: Run initialize.md before spawning first directors.

Bootstrap Protocol: ```bash

Check memory-bank exists

if [ ! -d "~/.claude/memory-bank" ]; then /ttt:memory-bank-init --bootstrap fi

Initialize AgentDB

export AGENTDB_PATH=~/.claude/claude-ops.db npx agentdb init ~/.claude/claude-ops.db --dimension 1536 ```

Knowledge Scope:

• User-level (`~/.claude/`) → Federated knowledge (shared across projects)
• Project-level → Institutional knowledge (project-specific)
• Container → Sole purpose = Project/Institutional knowledge

---

CREATOR NOTES

High-Priority Enhancements:

• System health monitoring dashboard
• Performance metrics collection
• Automated backup/recovery protocols
• Director performance analytics
• Learning pattern analysis

Observations to Track:

• Token budget compliance
• Consensus resolution time
• Handoff success patterns
• Escalation frequency
• Constitutional violations (should be 0)

Improve This Skill When:

• Directors have coordinated multiple times
• Real-world handoffs tested
• Consensus stress-tested
• First emergency situations

Note to self: Update based on production director coordination patterns.
