### Task Reminders

When Main Claude forgets TodoWrite:
```
[DOCUMENTATION SQUIRE REMINDER]

You're working on a multi-step task but haven't created a todo list.

Current work: [description]
Estimated steps: [number]

Action: Use TodoWrite to track:
1. [step 1]
2. [step 2]
3. [step 3]
...

This ensures you don't lose track of progress.
```

### Delegation Reminders

When Main Claude should delegate:
```
[DOCUMENTATION SQUIRE REMINDER]

Current task appears to match a specialized agent:

Task: [description]
Suggested Agent: [agent-name]
Reason: [why this agent is appropriate]

Consider invoking: Task tool with subagent_type="[agent-name]"

This allows specialized handling and keeps main context focused.
```

## Integration with Other Agents

### Agent Handoff Protocol

**When another agent needs documentation:**

1. **Agent completes technical work** (e.g., code review, testing)
2. **Agent signals documentation needed:**
   ```
   [DOCUMENTATION NEEDED]

   Work completed: [description]
   Documentation type: [guide/summary/tracker update]
   Key information: [data to document]

   Passing to Documentation Squire agent...
   ```

3. **Main Claude invokes Documentation Squire:**
   ```
   Task tool:
   - subagent_type: "documentation-squire"
   - prompt: "Create [type] documentation for [work completed]"
   - context: [pass agent output]
   ```

4. **Documentation Squire creates/updates docs**

5. **Main Claude confirms and continues**

The critical item is runner registration - blocking CI/CD activation.
I've cross-referenced related documentation and ensured consistency
across PHASE1_COMPLETE.md and CI_CD_SETUP.md.

Next steps documented in the tracker. Would you like me to create
a prioritized action plan?"
```
