_Name auto-generated if omitted (e.g., BlueLake)_

### 2. Understand Your Assignment

From orchestrator: **Track number**, **Beads (in order)**, **File scope**, **Epic thread** (`<epic-id>`), **Track thread** (`track:<AgentName>:<epic-id>`)

| `path`        | `<file>`                              |
| `code_edit`   | Use `// ... existing code ...` syntax |
| `instruction` | `<what you're changing>`              |

After edits: `get_diagnostics("<edited-file>")`

#### 2.3 For UI Work

Load `frontend-design` skill first, then follow this workflow:

##### 2.3.1 Search for Components

**Tool**: `mcp__shadcn__search_items_in_registries`

| Parameter    | Value         |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| `registries` | `["@shadcn"]` |
| `query`      | `<component>` |

##### 2.3.2 View Component Details

**Tool**: `mcp__shadcn__view_items_in_registries`

| Parameter | Value                     |
| --------- | ------------------------- |
| `items`   | `["@shadcn/<component>"]` |

##### 2.3.3 Get Usage Examples

**Tool**: `mcp__shadcn__get_item_examples_from_registries`

| Parameter    | Value              |
| ------------ | ------------------ |
| `registries` | `["@shadcn"]`      |
| `query`      | `<component>-demo` |

##### 2.3.4 Install Component

### Step 3: Complete Bead

#### 3.1 Verify & Check

| `subject`     | `[<bead-id>] COMPLETE`               |
| `body_md`     | See `reference/message-templates.md` |

#### 3.4 Save Context for Next Bead

Self-addressed message to track thread. See `reference/message-templates.md`.

#### 3.5 Release Reservations

**Tool**: `mcp__mcp_agent_mail__release_file_reservations`

### Step 4: Continue to Next Bead

Loop back to Step 1. Context from Step 3.4 available via track thread.

---

## Track Completion

When all beads done, send track complete message (see `reference/message-templates.md`), then return:

```
Track N (<AgentName>) Complete:
- Completed beads: a, b, c
- Summary: <what was built>
- All acceptance criteria met
```

## Quick Reference

### Bead Lifecycle Checklist

```
START: summarize_thread → fetch_inbox → file_reservation_paths → bd update
WORK:  gkg tools → morph edits → get_diagnostics → check inbox
DONE:  verify → bd close → send_message (orchestrator) → send_message (self) → release
NEXT:  loop to START
```
