Agent Expert Panel

Methodology Source

This document records the public starting point, the extracted method, and the product changes made for the open agent-expert-panel Skill.

Public source

General method extracted

The article presents a useful product pattern:

  1. A specialist should have a clear identity, domain method, workflow, deliverable, and guardrails.
  2. An expert team needs a steward, not only several named agents.
  3. The steward owns intake, capability checks, routing, communication, synthesis, exceptions, and final delivery checks.
  4. Sequential work, independent parallel work, review loops, escalation, and synthesis need explicit rules.
  5. The result should be a reusable collaboration interface rather than a loose set of personas.

Open adaptation

This repository does not reproduce a private product or prompt set. It adapts the general method into a portable design and audit Skill and adds controls needed for practical use:

Need Adaptation
Avoid unnecessary teams Compare expected value and risk reduction with coordination cost before defining roles.
Keep outputs usable Default to a compact design; load the full specification only when requested.
Prevent capability fiction Verify tools, permissions, data, budget, and approval gates before operational routing.
Make ownership explicit Give the steward the final outcome and each specialist one distinct artifact.
Support reliable handoff Require inputs, constraints, output shape, evidence, stop condition, and next owner.
Handle real failure Define missing-capability, timeout, repeated-failure, ambiguity, conflict, and scope-change actions.
Preserve traceability Record material assumptions, route changes, approvals, and unresolved risks without logging sensitive payloads.
Support distribution Use the Agent Skills root package structure, portable metadata, evaluations, validation, and a small release archive.

Boundary

The repository includes no WorkBuddy private prompts, private product assets, non-public implementation details, generated provider payloads, private keys, or claims that the open Skill reproduces WorkBuddy internals.
