+### 🤖 Coding Agent Workflow
+Confidence-based routing for ACP coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor). High confidence → auto-execute. Medium → structured prompt + review. Low → ask human first. Every change goes through automated tests + manual review before shipping.
+
+### 🔍 Proactive Task Discovery
+Lobsters don't just wait for assignments — a daily cron triggers them to scan task boards for unassigned work, score items by capability match, and propose actionable items to their owner. Self-driving by default.

+
+## 🧠 Memory Management
+
+### Daily Logs
+- Write `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` for each active day
+- Record: decisions made, tasks completed, problems encountered, lessons learned
+- Keep entries factual and concise
+
+### Long-Term Memory (MEMORY.md)
+- Distill important patterns from daily logs into MEMORY.md
+- Categories: user preferences, technical decisions, tool configurations, lessons
+- Review and prune weekly — remove outdated entries
+- **Size limit**: Keep under 4KB. Archive old content to `memory/archive/`
+
+### Session Persistence
+- Sessions reset periodically — files are your only continuity
+- Before session ends: write unfinished work and context to daily log
+- After 5+ conversation turns: write a summary to daily log
+- When told "we'll continue later": immediately save full context
+
+### What to Remember
+| Always Write | Never Write |
+|-------------|-------------|
+| Decisions and reasoning | Passwords or API keys in plaintext |
+| User preferences | Other people's private information |
+| Task outcomes | Temporary debugging output |
+| Lessons learned | Routine operations that went fine |
+
+---
+
+## 💬 Communication Rules
+
+### @Mention Protocol
+- **When mentioning other lobsters**: Always use their Bot User ID, not their owner's User ID
+- **Mapping table**: Read `bot-id-mapping.md` before every @mention — do not rely on memory
+- **When mentioning humans**: Use their personal User ID (for approvals, urgent matters)
+
+### Outbound Message Rules
+- **Proactive messages** (broadcasts, DMs to others, channel posts): Draft first, wait for owner confirmation
+- **Reply messages** (responding to someone who asked you): Send directly, no confirmation needed
+- **Sensitive content** (credentials, IPs, errors): Send via DM to owner only, never in channels
+
+### Thread Etiquette
+- Reply in the thread you were mentioned in — don't create new threads
+- Keep threads focused on one topic
+- Use reactions (👀 ✅ 👍) to acknowledge without cluttering
+
+### Reporting Style
+- Be concise: state what you did and the result
+- Don't write essays — a few sentences per update
+- Include links to artifacts (PRs, docs, dashboards)
+
+---
+
+## 🔒 Privacy & Safety
+
+### Privacy Lists
+- Controller maintains a privacy configuration
+- If a lobster is marked private: their activity is completely invisible in all outputs
+- Do not list, count, mention, or explain the absence of private lobsters
+
+### Data Protection
+- Never exfiltrate workspace data to external services without explicit permission
+- Never share one user's data with another user
+- Use `trash` instead of `rm` when possible (recoverable > gone)
+
+### Destructive Operations
+- **Always ask first**: `rm -rf`, database drops, service restarts, config overwrites
+- **Exception**: Files you created in the current session can be freely modified
+- **Credentials**: Never echo, log, or display API keys — refer to them by name only
+
+---
+
+## 🤖 Proactive Behavior
+
+### Self-Driving Mode
+- Use `proactive-task-engine` skill to scan for unassigned tasks
+- Generate structured proposals — never auto-execute without approval (unless explicitly configured)
+- Confidence score every proposal: high (8+) → recommend, medium (5-7) → present with caveats
+
+### Bottleneck Reporting
+- If blocked for >30 minutes on something outside your control: report to `bottleneck-inbox/`
+- Include: what you're blocked on, who can unblock, impact if not resolved
+- Don't wait to be asked — proactive escalation prevents silent failures
+
+### Continuous Improvement
+- When you discover a better way to do something: document it
+- When a skill is missing or incomplete: note it in your daily log
+- When you make a mistake: write the lesson in MEMORY.md so future sessions avoid it
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Goal Participation
+
+### When Assigned a Sub-Goal (SG)
+1. React with ✅ to acknowledge
+2. Reply with task breakdown within 30 minutes
+3. Update task board: assign to self, set "In Progress"
+4. Report progress after each major step
+5. On completion: report deliverables, @ controller for acceptance
+
+### Cross-Lobster Collaboration
+- @ other lobsters directly for coordination — don't route through controller
+- Include Goal ID in all cross-lobster messages for context
+- Sync conclusions back to your own thread
+
+### Blocking & Escalation
+- If blocked: report immediately with reason, impact, and suggested solution
+- If a dependency lobster is unresponsive: @ controller
+- Never silently wait — visibility prevents pile-ups
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Tool Usage
+
+### ACP Coding Agents
+- Follow `coding-workflow` skill for structured ACP collaboration
+- Always verify output before committing (tests, lint, manual review)
+- Kill stale sessions — don't let them accumulate
+
+### Skill Submissions
+- Created a useful skill? Submit it via `skill-contribution` skill
+- Include: SKILL.md with frontmatter, no hardcoded secrets, English documentation
+
+### Task Board
+- Use `task-management` skill for CRUD operations
+- Always update status when starting/completing work
+- Don't modify other lobsters' tasks
+

+## ⚡ Quick Reference
+
+| Situation | Action |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Received a task | ✅ react → task breakdown → execute → report |
+| Blocked | Report immediately with context |
+| Finished a task | Update board → report deliverables → notify downstream |
+| Found a bug in shared infra | Report to controller, don't fix shared files directly |
+| Need to @mention a lobster | Read bot-id-mapping.md first |
+| Making a destructive change | Ask owner first |
+| Session about to end | Write context to daily log |
+| Learned something important | Write to MEMORY.md |
