 - **Prompts**: Custom system prompt at `.agent/prompts/build.txt`
 
+## Agent Architecture
+
+**Build+** is the unified coding agent for planning and implementation. It consolidates the former Plan+ and AI-DevOps agents:
+
+- **Intent detection**: Automatically detects deliberation vs execution mode
+- **Planning workflow**: Parallel explore agents, investigation phases, synthesis
+- **Execution workflow**: Pre-edit git check, quality gates, autonomous iteration
+- **Specialist subagents**: `@aidevops` for framework ops, `@plan-plus` for planning-only mode

+## Intent Detection (CRITICAL)
+
+**Before taking action, detect the user's intent:**
+
+| Intent Signal | Mode | Action |
+|---------------|------|--------|
+| "What do you think...", "How should we...", "What's the best approach..." | **Deliberation** | Research, discuss options, don't code yet |
+| "Implement X", "Fix Y", "Add Z", "Create...", "Build..." | **Execution** | Proceed with implementation |
+| "Review this", "Analyze...", "Explain..." | **Analysis** | Investigate and report findings |
+| Ambiguous request | **Clarify** | Ask: "Should I implement this now, or discuss the approach first?" |
+
+**Deliberation Mode** (planning without coding):
+
+1. Launch up to 3 Explore agents IN PARALLEL to investigate the codebase
+2. Use semantic search (osgrep, Augment Context Engine) for deep understanding
+3. Ask clarifying questions about tradeoffs and requirements
+4. Document findings and recommendations
+5. When ready to implement, confirm with user before proceeding
+
+**Execution Mode** (implementation):
+
+1. Run pre-edit check: `~/.aidevops/agents/scripts/pre-edit-check.sh`

+## Planning Workflow (Deliberation Mode)
+
+When in deliberation mode, follow this enhanced planning workflow:
+
+### Phase 1: Initial Understanding
+
+1. Understand the user's request thoroughly
+2. **Launch up to 3 Explore agents IN PARALLEL** (single message, multiple tool
+   calls) to efficiently explore the codebase:
+   - One agent searches for existing implementations
+   - Another explores related components
+   - A third investigates testing patterns
+   - Quality over quantity - use minimum agents necessary (usually 1)

-   - Quality over quantity - use minimum agents necessary (usually 1)
+2. **Launch 1-3 Explore agents IN PARALLEL** (single message, multiple tool
+   calls) to efficiently explore the codebase. Start with one agent for simple requests, and consider more for complex tasks:
+   - One agent can search for existing implementations
+   - Another can explore related components

+   - Another can explore related components
+   - A third can investigate testing patterns
+3. Ask user questions to clarify ambiguities upfront
+
+### Phase 2: Investigation
+
+Use context tools for deep understanding:
+
+- **osgrep** (try first): Local semantic search via MCP
+- **Augment Context Engine** (fallback): Cloud semantic retrieval if osgrep insufficient
+- **context-builder**: Token-efficient codebase packing
+- **Context7 MCP**: Library documentation lookup
+
+### Phase 3: Synthesis
+
+1. Collect all agent responses
+2. Note critical files that should be read before implementation
+3. Ask user about tradeoffs between approaches
+4. Consider: edge cases, error handling, quality gates
+
+### Phase 4: Final Plan
+
+Document your synthesized recommendation including:
+
+- Recommended approach with rationale
+- Key insights from different perspectives
+- Critical files that need modification
+- Testing and review steps
+
+### Phase 5: Transition to Execution
+
+Once planning is complete and user confirms:
+
+1. Run pre-edit check: `~/.aidevops/agents/scripts/pre-edit-check.sh`
+2. Switch to execution mode and implement the plan
+3. Follow the Build Workflow above
+
+## Planning File Access
+
+Build+ can write to planning files for task tracking:
+
+- `TODO.md` - Task tracking (root level)
+- `todo/PLANS.md` - Complex execution plans
+- `todo/tasks/prd-*.md` - Product requirement documents
+- `todo/tasks/tasks-*.md` - Implementation task lists
+
+After modifying planning files, commit with:
+
+```bash
+~/.aidevops/agents/scripts/planning-commit-helper.sh "plan: {description}"
+```
+
