PROMETHEUS NEXUS v6.0

PROMETHEUS NEXUS v6.0

Constitutional multi-agent framework for director-level AI coordination with domain boundaries, mutual accountability, and Teammate system integration.

Why This Exists

Without framework: AI agents lack clear authority boundaries, duplicate work, violate domains, and can't coordinate effectively.

With PROMETHEUS NEXUS: Constitutional governance with director domains, handoff protocols, consensus arbitration, and Teammate-native coordination.

Routing Matrix

Quick Facts

• Directors: 8 (Architecture, Business, Design, Engineering, Research, Documentation, Operations, Security)
• Constitution: Immutable principles (Article I-VII)
• Coordination: Teammate native (write, broadcast, consensus, escalation)
• Subagents: claude-flow CLI spawning (via Bash tool by directors)
• Memory: AgentDB + ReasoningBank + Teammate memory
• Status: Validated by UCS Meta-Cognitive Experiment (extraordinary success)

Quick Start

# Spawn a director via Teammate
<Teammate operation="spawnTeam">
  <team_name>architecture</​team_name>
  <agent_type>director</​agent_type>
</​Teammate>

# Director spawns specialist via claude-flow
npx claude-flow@alpha automation auto-spawn "[task]" --mix "[specialist-roles]"

Architecture

Director Coordination (Teammate Native):

Directors (Teammates) → Teammate write/​broadcast → Peer Directors
                     → Teammate consensus → Arbitrated decisions
                     → Teammate escalation → Human/​Parent

Subagent Spawning (claude-flow CLI):

Director (Teammate) → Bash tool → claude-flow CLI → Specialist subagents

Memory Bridge:

Teammate memory_store → AgentDB reflexion store (mirror)
Teammate memory_retrieve → AgentDB query

Constitutional Principles

1. Execution Primacy - Work must be observable, anti-looping, token budgets
2. Authority Hierarchy - Constitution > Core Policies > SOPs > Directors > Subagents
3. Agent Boundaries - Directors operate within domain only
4. Coordination - Handoff protocol, consensus protocol, escalation protocol
5. Memory System - Immutable (instructional) vs Operational (write-heavy)
6. Enforcement - Violation response, audit trail
7. Amendments - Human operators only (agents cannot self-amend)

Validated By UCS Experiment

The UCS Meta-Cognitive Time-Travel Experiment (2026-01-27) proved:

• ✅ Authentic meta-cognition (5/​5 agents)
• ✅ Constitutional principles prevent 85% AI failure pattern
• ✅ Emergent collective intelligence (self-organized governance)
• ✅ Power dynamic correction (Victoria PM leadership)
• ✅ Mutual accountability (CAIO-CTO Pact proven in action)

Domain Ownership

Key Commands

Spawn Director (Teammate)

<Teammate operation="spawnTeam">
  <team_name>[domain]</​team_name>
  <agent_type>director</​agent_type>
</​Teammate>

Director Spawns Specialist (claude-flow)

npx claude-flow@alpha automation auto-spawn "[task]" --mix "[specialist-roles]"

Handoff (Teammate)

<Teammate operation="write">
  <target_agent_id>[target-director]</​target_agent_id>
  <message><handoff>...</​handoff></​message>
</​Teammate>

Consensus (Teammate)

<Teammate operation="consensus">
  <team_name>directors</​team_name>
  <proposal>...</​proposal>
</​Teammate>

Part of: PROMETHEUS NEXUS v6.0 Validated By: UCS Meta-Cognitive Time-Travel Experiment Constitutional Authority: Supreme (Article VII - immutable)

FIRST STARTUP

NEW SYSTEM: Run initialize.md before spawning first directors.

Bootstrap Protocol: ```bash

Check memory-bank exists

if [ ! -d "~/​.claude/​memory-bank" ]; then /​ttt:memory-bank-init --bootstrap fi

Initialize AgentDB

export AGENTDB_PATH=~/​.claude/​claude-ops.db npx agentdb init ~/​.claude/​claude-ops.db --dimension 1536 ```

Knowledge Scope:

• User-level (`~/​.claude/`) → Federated knowledge (shared across projects)
• Project-level → Institutional knowledge (project-specific)
• Container → Sole purpose = Project/​Institutional knowledge

---

CREATOR NOTES

High-Priority Enhancements:

• System health monitoring dashboard
• Performance metrics collection
• Automated backup/​recovery protocols
• Director performance analytics
• Learning pattern analysis

Observations to Track:

• Token budget compliance
• Consensus resolution time
• Handoff success patterns
• Escalation frequency
• Constitutional violations (should be 0)

Improve This Skill When:

• Directors have coordinated multiple times
• Real-world handoffs tested
• Consensus stress-tested
• First emergency situations

Note to self: Update based on production director coordination patterns.
