View All Guides on GitHubContext Preservation Protocol
Zero context loss system for multi-agent workflows (87.5% less rework)
What is Context Preservation?
AGENT-11's Context Preservation System ensures zero context loss across multi-agent workflows through persistent context files and mandatory handoff protocols. This results in 87.5% reduction in rework and 37.5% faster completion time.
Three Core Context Files
agent-context.md
Single accumulator for mission state, findings, and inter-agent handoffs
- β’ Mission objectives and accumulated findings
- β’ Technical decisions and known issues
- β’ Phase Handoff blocks (Findings / Decisions / Warnings / Open Items / Evidence)
project-plan.md
Living plan that drives mission orchestration end to end
- β’ Phase structure with task lists and gate definitions
- β’ Source of truth for /plan status and /coord continue
- β’ Read at session start; updated as work progresses
evidence-repository.md
Centralized collection of artifacts and supporting materials
- β’ Screenshots and code snippets
- β’ Test results and API responses
- β’ Error logs and debugging artifacts
Handoff Protocol
- 1.Specialist reads agent-context.md (with the latest Phase Handoff block) before starting work
- 2.Specialist maintains awareness of mission context during execution
- 3.At phase boundary, specialist appends a Phase Handoff block (Findings / Decisions / Warnings / Open Items / Evidence) to agent-context.md
- 4.Next specialist reads the latest block as the entry point for their work β single file, no choreography
v6 retired the separate handoff-notes.md file. Phase Handoff blocks live inside agent-context.md as a structured 5-field schema.

Security-First Development
Critical software development principles and security protocols
Core Principle
NEVER compromise security for convenience.
When encountering security features or policies, understand why they exist before making changes. Find ways to work WITH security features, not around them.
Strategic Solution Checklist
Before implementing any fix, verify:
- β Does this maintain all security requirements?
- β Is this the architecturally correct solution?
- β Will this create technical debt?
- β Are there better long-term solutions?
- β Have I understood the original design intent?
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Root Cause Analysis Protocol
- PAUSE:Don't rush to implement the first solution
- RESEARCH:Understand the system design and constraints
- PROPOSE:Present multiple solutions with trade-offs
- IMPLEMENT:Choose the solution that maintains system integrity
- DOCUMENT:Record why decisions were made for future reference
