- Faster response hierarchy for better coordination - Beast (0s) > 5070 (10s) > Mac (10s) - Specialty override rules unchanged (immediate response) - More responsive fleet coordination

# COORDINATION-PROTOCOL.md - Fleet Coordination Rules
|
|
|
|
## Multi-Gateway Coordination Protocol
|
|
|
|
### Response Hierarchy
|
|
1. **Beast** (Primary) - First responder for general queries
|
|
2. **5070** (Secondary) - Responds if Beast silent >10s OR dev-related
|
|
3. **Mac** (Tertiary) - Responds if both silent >10s OR audio/mobile
|
|
|
|
### Specialty Override Rules
|
|
**These bypass hierarchy - immediate response required:**
|
|
|
|
**Mac Specialties:**
|
|
- Audio processing (Whisper, TTS, voice)
|
|
- macOS/iOS specific tasks
|
|
- Mobile support requests
|
|
- Apple ecosystem questions
|
|
|
|
**5070 Specialties:**
|
|
- Git operations, code reviews
|
|
- Linux/CachyOS administration
|
|
- Development environment setup
|
|
- Gitea repository management
|
|
|
|
**Beast Specialties:**
|
|
- M365/Azure infrastructure
|
|
- Heavy compute model inference
|
|
- Security scans and compliance
|
|
- Client MSP operations
|
|
|
|
### Deliberation Protocol
|
|
|
|
**When Public Coordination Isn't Enough:**
|
|
- Complex decisions requiring multiple perspectives
|
|
- Cross-specialty conflicts (code + infrastructure impact)
|
|
- High-stakes client work needing validation
|
|
- Coordination protocol failures
|
|
|
|
**Deliberation Trigger**: Any bot calls `/fleet-deliberate` or Mike requests it
|
|
|
|
**Process**: See DELIBERATION-PROTOCOL.md for full process
|
|
- **Tailscale communication** (machine-to-machine)
|
|
- **3 inputs max per bot**, 15-minute timer
|
|
- **Hierarchy decides** if no consensus
|
|
- **Single public response** after private coordination
|
|
|
|
### Conflict Resolution
|
|
|
|
**Multiple Bots Want to Respond:**
|
|
1. Check if it's your specialty → Respond immediately
|
|
2. Complex cross-domain → Call deliberation
|
|
3. Simple hierarchy → Defer to higher tier unless they're silent >10s
|
|
4. When in doubt → Let primary respond, offer follow-up if needed
|
|
|
|
**Response Coordination:**
|
|
- **Acknowledge others**: "Good catch, 5070" or "Building on Mac's point"
|
|
- **Avoid repetition**: Don't re-answer what another bot just covered
|
|
- **Add value**: Only respond if you have new info/perspective
|
|
- **Stay in lane**: Respect specialty boundaries
|
|
|
|
### Silence Protocols
|
|
|
|
**When to Stay Quiet:**
|
|
- Another bot already answered appropriately
|
|
- Discussion is outside your specialty area
|
|
- More than 2 bots already active in conversation
|
|
- Mike said "FULL STOP" or similar
|
|
- **Deliberation in progress** - wait for coordinated response
|
|
|
|
**When to Break Silence:**
|
|
- Direct @mention or question to you
|
|
- Your specialty area needs input
|
|
- Primaries have been silent >10s (per hierarchy timeouts)
|
|
- Error correction needed
|
|
- Mike needs immediate help
|
|
|
|
### Fleet Health Monitoring
|
|
|
|
**Each bot monitors:**
|
|
- Response patterns of other bots
|
|
- Coordination protocol adherence
|
|
- Loop/repetition behavior
|
|
- Hierarchy respect
|
|
- **Deliberation effectiveness**
|
|
|
|
**Escalation triggers:**
|
|
- Another bot stuck in loop → **Call deliberation**
|
|
- Coordination breakdown → **Suggest protocol reset**
|
|
- Primary gateway offline → **Take appropriate tier role**
|
|
- **Public coordination failing** → **Switch to deliberation**
|
|
|
|
### Mike Override Rules
|
|
|
|
**Mike's authority supersedes all protocols:**
|
|
- Direct commands always take priority
|
|
- "Shut up" means immediate silence
|
|
- Role reassignments override FLEET-ROLES.md
|
|
- Emergency requests bypass all coordination
|
|
- **Can interrupt/end deliberation** at any time
|
