Checkpoint: Explain Your System

Before moving on, you should be able to explain your future agent system in 3 sentences.

The Template

Fill in the blanks:

My [coordinator/main agent] will be named [name] and will help me with [primary purpose].

It will use [memory system description] to remember [what it needs to remember].

When needed, it will spawn [sub-agent types] to handle [specific tasks].

Example (My System)

My coordinator will be named Alex and will help me with business operations and building products.

It will use a hierarchical memory system (MEMORY.md index + daily logs + detail files) to remember decisions, project state, people, and lessons learned.

When needed, it will spawn researcher and executor sub-agents to handle web research, fact extraction, and code deployment.

Your Turn

Write your 3 sentences. Be specific.

Don't overthink it — this will evolve. The point is to have a clear starting picture.

Validation

Your answer should include:

• A name for your main agent
• Its primary purpose
• What it needs to remember
• At least one sub-agent type
• What that sub-agent will do

If you can articulate this, you understand the mental model. Let's build it.
