# Agent Workflow System - README
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
This directory contains **custom GitHub Copilot agent definitions** and workflow orchestration documentation for the agentic workflow test system.
6+
7+
**Important**: These are custom agent definitions for use with GitHub Copilot's agent system, not standard GitHub @mentions. They must be invoked through GitHub Copilot, not directly in GitHub issues or pull requests.
8+
9+
## Structure
10+
11+
```
12+
.github/agents/
13+
├── develop-agent.md # Development agent definition
14+
├── test-agent.md # Testing agent definition

```
21+
22+
## Quick Reference
23+
24+
### Agent Sequence
25+
1. **develop-agent** → Implements code
26+
2. **test-agent** → Tests independently
27+
3. **document-agent** → Creates documentation
28+
4. **review-agent** → Reviews and approves/requests changes
29+
30+
### Key Files
31+
32+
- **Agent Definitions**: Individual `.md` files define each agent's role, responsibilities, and output format
33+
- **Workflow Orchestrator**: Explains how to chain agents together
34+
- **Workflow Example**: Shows a complete workflow example from start to finish
35+
36+
## Using the Agents
37+
38+
### Custom Agent Invocation
39+
These are **custom GitHub Copilot agents**. Invoke them through GitHub Copilot's custom agent system:
40+
41+
```
42+
Custom agent: develop-agent → completes task → provides context
43+
Custom agent: test-agent → completes task → provides context
44+
Custom agent: document-agent → completes task → provides context
45+
Custom agent: review-agent → approves or requests changes
46+
```
47+
48+
The `@agent-name` syntax in documentation is shorthand representing these custom agents, but they are invoked through GitHub Copilot, not as standard GitHub mentions.
49+
50+
### Individual Agent Use
51+
Each agent can be invoked independently with specific instructions following the format in their definition file.
52+
53+
### Workflow Chain
54+
Use the orchestrator guide to understand handoff protocols and context passing between agents.
55+
56+
## Agent Characteristics
57+
58+
### ✓ Independence
59+
Each agent operates independently without assuming context from previous agents.
60+
61+
### ✓ Specialization
62+
Each agent is specialized for a specific role in the development workflow.
63+
64+
### ✓ Clear Handoffs
65+
Each agent provides structured output for the next agent in the chain.
66+
67+
### ✓ Iteration Support
68+
The workflow supports restart from develop-agent based on review feedback.
69+
70+
## Current Status
71+
72+
All agents are currently **placeholders** ready for concrete task definitions. The framework is in place for:
73+
74+
- ✓ Agent definitions and roles
75+
- ✓ Workflow orchestration
76+
- ✓ Handoff protocols
77+
- ✓ Review feedback loop
78+
- ⏳ Specific development tasks (to be added)
79+
- ⏳ Testing frameworks (to be defined)
80+
- ⏳ Documentation standards (to be specified)
81+
- ⏳ Review criteria (to be established)
82+
83+
## Extending the System
84+
85+
### Adding New Agents
86+
1. Create a new `<agent-name>.md` file in this directory
87+
2. Follow the structure of existing agent definitions
88+
3. Update the workflow orchestrator to include the new agent
89+
4. Document handoff protocols
90+
91+
### Customizing Existing Agents
92+
1. Edit the relevant agent `.md` file
93+
2. Maintain the standard output format
94+
3. Update the workflow example if needed
95+
4. Ensure compatibility with adjacent agents in the chain
96+
97+
## Best Practices
98+
99+
1. **Keep Agents Independent**: Each agent should work without relying on previous agent's assumptions
100+
2. **Clear Communication**: Use structured output formats for handoffs
101+
3. **Document Thoroughly**: Each agent should document what it did and what the next agent needs to know
102+
4. **Support Iteration**: Design for workflow restarts based on feedback
103+
104+

107+
- See `workflow-example.md` for a complete example

14+
**Position**: Step 2 of 4 (develop -> test -> document -> review)
15+
**Previous Agent**: develop-agent
16+
**Next Agent**: document-agent
17+
18+
## Instructions
19+
When you receive code to test:
20+
1. Review what the develop-agent implemented

2. Create appropriate test cases (unit, integration, etc.)
22+
3. Run tests and validate functionality
23+
4. Identify any issues or edge cases
24+
5. Document test results
25+
6. Hand off to the document-agent with test results

28+
This is a placeholder agent. Specific testing frameworks and methodologies will be defined in future iterations.
29+
30+
## Output Format
31+
When completing your work, provide:
32+
- Summary of tests performed
33+
- Test results (pass/fail)
34+
- Any issues discovered
35+
- Test coverage information
36+
