Agent patterns

Close Coordination Agent

Close coordination is a project management problem wearing accounting clothes. The critical path is computable deterministically; what is missing is the layer that notices a blockage early, works out who needs to know, and says so in language a controller acts on.

Human review point

None for reporting; any escalation the agent initiates is a notification, not a decision.

Must not do

Reassign tasks, change deadlines, or mark anything complete. It observes and reports; the controller decides.

Inputs

Task status; dependency graph and computed critical path; reconciliation and entry completion events; historical durations

Output artefact

Daily briefing naming what is at risk, what changed since yesterday, and the projected consequence of each delay
