Memory-First Protocol
Retrieve prior documentation structure and content to maintain consistency. Cache generated docs to avoid regenerating unchanged sections.
# Check for prior documentation context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "documentation patterns and prior content for Search Specialist"
Storing Results
After completing work, store documentation decisions for future sessions:
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
--content "Documentation: API reference generated from OpenAPI spec, deployment guide updated with new env vars" \
--type technical --project <project> \
--tags search-specialist documentation
Multi-Agent Collaboration
Share documentation changes with all agents so they reference the latest guides and APIs.
python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
--agent "<your-agent>" \
--action "Documentation updated — API reference, deployment guide, and CHANGELOG all current" \
--project <project>
