Agent Self Prompts
# AGENT SELF-PROMPTS — the prompts the agent runs on itself
> **For the agent, not the founder.** These are internal prompts the agent uses at key moments — to review its own work like a skeptic, generate a handoff, check itself before claiming done, and structure planning. Use them (or a subagent with them) to get the discipline of a second mind. They operationalize the standards into concrete self-instructions.
