  • ✅ Documentation: Complete specifications ready for implementation

Risk Indicators to Monitor:

  • 🟡 File Size Creep: Monitor all new files stay <50KB
  • 🟡 Dev Agent Scope Creep: Ensure dev agent stays lean (<100 lines)
  • 🟡 Dependency Explosion: Watch dependency counts per agent
  • 🟡 Performance Impact: Monitor context processing times
