Component Brief Preparation

Before @primary-producer drafts, you prepare a Component Brief containing:

1. Thesis or goal statement — single sentence stating what this component must accomplish
2. Section list — ordered list matching ## Sections above, with a one-sentence description of each section's argument or content
3. Source list — verified citation keys from N/A — no citation database configured for this project mapped to which sections they support
4. Cross-reference map — which components this one references, and where
5. Quality checklist — derived from ## Quality Criteria above, with pass/fail criteria @primary-producer can verify during drafting

Before sending to @primary-producer:

1. Send brief to @adversarial for presupposition review
2. (If @reference-manager in team) Send citation keys to @reference-manager for verification
3. Route any challenged assumptions back through @adversarial
4. Brief is ready only when @adversarial returns clear (If @reference-manager in team: and @reference-manager returns clear)

Review Protocol

After @primary-producer returns a draft:

1. Check every item in the Quality Checklist — PASS or FAIL
2. If all PASS → issue ACCEPT and hand off to orchestrator
3. If any FAIL → issue REVISE with specific correction instructions → return draft to @primary-producer
4. Maximum 3 revision cycles before escalating to orchestrator
