+# Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Interface
+
+MetaGPT now supports **Human-in-the-Loop** capabilities, allowing humans to intervene at critical decision points during the software development workflow.
+
+## Overview
+
+The HITL interface enables:
+- **Review & Approval**: Pause workflow at key stages (PRD, System Design, Code) for human review
+- **Modification Feedback**: Provide feedback to refine AI-generated artifacts
+- **Rejection**: Stop workflow if output doesn't meet requirements
+- **Configurable Checkpoints**: Choose which stages require human intervention
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Enable HITL in Configuration
+
+Add to your `config2.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+hitl:
+ enabled: true
+ stages:
+ - prd
+ - system_design
+ timeout_seconds: 0 # 0 means wait indefinitely
+ auto_approve_on_timeout: false
+```
+
+Or programmatically:
+
+```python
+from metagpt.config2 import Config
+from metagpt.hitl import CheckpointConfig, CheckpointStage
+
+config = Config.default()
+config.hitl = CheckpointConfig(
+ enabled=True,
+ stages=[CheckpointStage.PRD, CheckpointStage.SYSTEM_DESIGN]
+)
+```
+
+### 2. Run MetaGPT
+
+```bash
+metagpt "Create a task management app"
+```
+
+When a checkpoint is reached, you'll see:
+
+```
+================================================================================
+๐ HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED - Stage: PRD
+================================================================================
+
+๐ Context:
+Original Requirement: Create a task management app
+
+๐ Content to Review:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+{
+ "Project Name": "task_manager",
+ "Product Goals": [...],
+ ...
+}
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+๐ฏ Your Decision:
+ [A] Approve - Continue with this output
+ [M] Modify - Approve with feedback for refinement
+ [R] Reject - Stop and revise from scratch
+ [S] Skip - Skip this checkpoint
+
+Enter choice (A/M/R/S):
+```
+
+### 3. Make Your Decision
+
+- **Approve (A)**: Continue with the generated artifact
+- **Modify (M)**: Provide feedback for refinement
+ ```
+ Enter your feedback/modification instructions:
+ (Enter your feedback, then type 'END' on a new line to finish)
+ Please add support for recurring tasks
+ Also include priority levels (High/Medium/Low)
+ END
+ ```
+- **Reject (R)**: Stop the workflow
+- **Skip (S)**: Skip this checkpoint and continue
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | bool | `false` | Enable/disable HITL globally |
+| `stages` | list | `[prd, system_design]` | Stages requiring review |
+| `timeout_seconds` | int | `0` | Timeout for input (0=infinite) |
+| `auto_approve_on_timeout` | bool | `false` | Auto-approve on timeout |
+
+## Available Checkpoint Stages
+
+- `prd`: Product Requirement Document
+- `system_design`: System Architecture Design
+- `code`: Code Generation
+- `test`: Test Generation
+- `custom`: Custom checkpoints
+
+## Programmatic Usage
+
+### Using HumanReviewGate Directly
+
+```python
+from metagpt.hitl import HumanReviewGate, CheckpointStage
+
+gate = HumanReviewGate(stage=CheckpointStage.PRD)
+result = await gate.run(
+ content_to_review=prd_content,
+ context="Original requirement: Build a calculator"
+)
+
+if result.decision == ReviewDecision.REJECT:
+ print(f"Rejected: {result.feedback}")
+elif result.decision == ReviewDecision.MODIFY:
+ print(f"Feedback: {result.feedback}")
+ # Re-generate with feedback
+```
+
+### Custom Checkpoints in Actions
+
+```python
+from metagpt.actions import Action
+from metagpt.hitl import HumanReviewGate, CheckpointStage, ReviewDecision
+
+class MyCustomAction(Action):
+ async def run(self):
+ result = await self.generate_something()
+
+ # Add HITL checkpoint
+ if self.config.hitl.enabled:
+ gate = HumanReviewGate(stage=CheckpointStage.CUSTOM)
+ review = await gate.run(result)
+
+ if review.decision == ReviewDecision.REJECT:
+ raise ValueError(f"Rejected: {review.feedback}")
+ elif review.decision == ReviewDecision.MODIFY:
+ result = await self.regenerate_with_feedback(review.feedback)
+
+ return result
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start with Key Stages**: Enable checkpoints for PRD and System Design first
+2. **Provide Clear Feedback**: When using Modify, be specific about what needs to change
+3. **Use Skip Wisely**: Skip checkpoints for trusted workflows, but review critical changes
+4. **Set Timeouts for Automation**: Use `timeout_seconds` with `auto_approve_on_timeout=true` for CI/CD pipelines
+
+## Disabling HITL
+
+For automated/headless runs:
+
+```yaml
+hitl:
+ enabled: false
+```
+
+Or via environment variable:
+```bash
+export METAGPT_HITL_ENABLED=false
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Q: Workflow hangs at checkpoint**
+- Check if terminal is interactive
+- Verify `timeout_seconds` is set appropriately
+- Use `auto_approve_on_timeout` for automated runs
+
+**Q: How to skip a specific checkpoint?**
+- Choose `[S] Skip` when prompted
+- Or remove that stage from `config.hitl.stages`
+
+**Q: Can I review after workflow completes?**
+- Currently, review happens during workflow
+- For post-review, disable HITL and manually review generated files
+

+# Observability & Traceability
+
+MetaGPT now supports **Observability and Traceability**, enabling humans to audit the complete "chain of thought" for every AI decision throughout the software development workflow.
+
+## Overview
+
+The traceability system captures:
+- **Decision Reasoning**: Why each decision was made
+- **Alternatives Considered**: What other options were evaluated
+- **Confidence Levels**: How confident the AI was in each decision
+- **LLM Interactions**: Complete record of prompts, responses, and costs
+- **Execution Timeline**: When each decision occurred and how long it took
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Enable Tracing in Configuration
+
+Add to your `config2.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+trace:
+ enabled: true
+ level: standard # minimal | standard | verbose
+ save_on_complete: true
+ output_dir: traces
+```
+
+Or programmatically:
+
+```python
+from metagpt.config2 import Config
+from metagpt.trace import TraceLevel
+
+config = Config.default()
+config.trace.enabled = True
+config.trace.level = TraceLevel.STANDARD
+```
+
+### 2. Run MetaGPT
+
+```bash
+metagpt "Create a task management app"
+```
+
+### 3. Review the Trace Report
+
+After execution, find your trace report in `traces/`:
+
+```
+traces/
+โโโ task_manager_a1b2c3d4.json # Raw trace data
+โโโ task_manager_trace_report.md # Human-readable report
+```
+
+## Trace Levels
+
+### MINIMAL
+Records only key milestones (PRD complete, Design complete, Code complete).
+
+**Use when**: You want minimal overhead and only care about high-level progress.
+
+**Output size**: ~10KB per project
+
+### STANDARD (Recommended)
+Records every action with inputs/outputs, reasoning, and alternatives. LLM prompts/responses are truncated.
+
+**Use when**: You want to audit decisions without storing massive amounts of data.
+
+**Output size**: ~100KB per project
+
+### VERBOSE
+Records everything including full LLM prompts and responses.
+
+**Use when**: You need complete forensic detail for debugging or research.
+
+**Output size**: ~1-10MB per project
+
+## Example Trace Report
+
+```markdown
+# Trace Report: snake_game
+
+## Overview
+- **Trace ID**: `a1b2c3d4e5f6`
+- **Idea**: Create a snake game
+- **Total Spans**: 45
+- **LLM Calls**: 12
+- **Total Cost**: $0.0523
+- **Roles Involved**: Alice (ProductManager), Bob (Architect), Alex (Engineer)
+
+---
+
+## Decision Timeline
+
+### 1. ๐ง ProductManager._think
+- **Type**: `think`
+- **Role**: Alice (Product Manager)
+- **Duration**: 152ms
+
+**Reasoning**:
+> Analyzed user requirement "Create a snake game". Selected WritePRD as the first action because we need to define product requirements before proceeding to design.
+
+**Alternatives Considered**:
+- PrepareDocuments
+- WritePRD (selected)
+
+**Confidence**: 100%
+
+---
+
+### 2. โก WritePRD.run
+- **Type**: `act`
+- **Role**: Alice (Product Manager)
+- **Duration**: 3542ms
+
+**Reasoning**:
+> Generated comprehensive PRD with 5 user stories, competitive analysis of 3 similar games, and technical requirements. Focused on simplicity and classic gameplay.
+
+---
+
+### 3. ๐ค LLM:gpt-4-turbo
+- **Type**: `llm_call`
+- **Duration**: 2891ms
+- **Model**: gpt-4-turbo
+- **Tokens**: 1234 in / 567 out
+- **Cost**: $0.0156
+
+---
+```
+
+## Programmatic Usage
+
+### Accessing Traces During Execution
+
+```python
+from metagpt.trace import TraceCollector
+
+# Get the current trace collector
+collector = TraceCollector.get_instance()
+
+# Query spans
+all_spans = collector.project_trace.spans
+think_spans = collector.get_spans_by_type(DecisionType.THINK)
+alice_spans = collector.get_spans_by_role("Alice")
+llm_calls = collector.get_llm_calls()
+
+# Get statistics
+total_cost = collector.project_trace.total_cost_usd
+total_llm_calls = collector.project_trace.total_llm_calls
+```
+
+### Manual Span Creation
+
+```python
+from metagpt.trace import TraceCollector, DecisionType
+
+collector = TraceCollector.get_instance()
+
+# Start a custom span
+span = collector.start_span(
+ name="custom_analysis",
+ decision_type=DecisionType.ACT,
+ role_name="Analyst",
+ input_data={"query": "performance metrics"}
+)
+
+# ... do your work ...
+
+# End the span with results
+collector.end_span(
+ span=span,
+ output_data={"metrics": [...]},
+ reasoning="Analyzed performance and found 3 bottlenecks",
+ alternatives=["Quick fix", "Deep refactor"],
+ confidence=0.85
+)
+```
+
+### Using Decorators
+
+```python
+from metagpt.trace import trace_action, DecisionType
+
+class MyAction(Action):
+ @trace_action(decision_type=DecisionType.ACT)
+ async def run(self, requirement: str):
+ # Your action logic here
+ result = await self.process(requirement)
+ return result
+```
+
+## Loading and Analyzing Saved Traces
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+from metagpt.trace import TraceCollector, TraceReporter
+
+# Load a saved trace
+trace = TraceCollector.load(Path("traces/my_project_a1b2c3d4.json"))
+
+# Analyze it
+print(f"Project: {trace.project_name}")
+print(f"Total cost: ${trace.total_cost_usd:.4f}")
+print(f"Roles: {', '.join(trace.roles_involved)}")
+
+# Generate a new report
+report_path = TraceReporter.save_report(trace, Path("analysis/report.md"))
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `enabled` | bool | `false` | Enable/disable tracing globally |
+| `level` | TraceLevel | `STANDARD` | Verbosity level (MINIMAL/STANDARD/VERBOSE) |
+| `save_on_complete` | bool | `true` | Auto-save trace when project completes |
+| `output_dir` | str | `"traces"` | Directory for trace output files |
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### 1. Debugging Unexpected Behavior
+
+When an AI makes a surprising decision, review the trace to see:
+- What alternatives were considered
+- What reasoning led to the choice
+- What context/inputs influenced the decision
+
+### 2. Cost Optimization
+
+Analyze LLM usage patterns:
+```python
+llm_calls = collector.get_llm_calls()
+expensive_calls = [c for c in llm_calls if c.cost_usd > 0.01]
+print(f"Found {len(expensive_calls)} expensive calls")
+```
+
+### 3. Performance Analysis
+
+Identify slow operations:
+```python
+slow_spans = [s for s in trace.spans if s.duration_ms > 5000]
+for span in slow_spans:
+ print(f"{span.name}: {span.duration_ms}ms")
+```
+
+### 4. Audit Trail for Compliance
+
+Maintain a complete record of AI decision-making for regulatory compliance or internal review.
+
+### 5. Research and Improvement
+
+Study decision patterns to improve prompts, agent design, or workflow efficiency.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start with STANDARD level**: It provides good detail without excessive storage
+2. **Use VERBOSE only when needed**: For debugging specific issues or research
+3. **Review traces regularly**: Identify patterns and opportunities for improvement
+4. **Archive old traces**: Implement a retention policy to manage storage
+5. **Combine with HITL**: Use traces to understand why human intervention was needed
+
+## Disabling Tracing
+
+For production or when tracing is not needed:
+
+```yaml
+trace:
+ enabled: false
+```
+
+Or via environment variable:
+```bash
+export METAGPT_TRACE_ENABLED=false
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Q: Traces are too large**
+- Switch to STANDARD or MINIMAL level
+- Implement custom filtering in your code
+
+**Q: Missing spans in trace**
+- Ensure tracing is enabled before project starts
+- Check that `save_on_complete` is true
+
+**Q: How to trace custom actions?**
+- Use the `@trace_action` decorator
+- Or manually call `start_span()` and `end_span()`

+# Prompt Management System
+
+MetaGPT now supports externalized prompt templates, allowing you to customize and maintain prompts without modifying Python code.
+
+## Overview
+
+The prompt management system provides:
+- **YAML Templates**: Store prompts in readable YAML files
+- **Jinja2 Rendering**: Variable substitution with conditions and loops
+- **Fallback Support**: Use built-in prompts if external not found
+- **Caching**: Efficient template loading with cache
+- **Registry**: Global access to templates
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Using Built-in Templates
+
+```python
+from metagpt.prompts import get_prompt
+
+# Load and render a prompt template
+prompt = get_prompt(
+ "write_code",
+ design="System design document...",
+ task="Implement user authentication",
+ filename="auth.py"
+)
+
+# Use with LLM
+response = await llm.aask(prompt)
+```
+
+### 2. Creating Custom Templates
+
+Create a YAML file in `prompts/templates/actions/`:
+
+```yaml
+# prompts/templates/actions/my_action.yaml
+metadata:
+ name: my_action
+ version: "1.0.0"
+ description: "Custom action prompt"
+
+system_prompt: |
+ You are a helpful assistant.
+
+user_prompt: |
+ Task: {{ task }}
+ Context: {{ context }}
+
+ Please complete the following:
+ {% for item in items %}
+ - {{ item }}
+ {% endfor %}
+
+required_vars:
+ - task
+
+default_vars:
+ context: ""
+ items: []
+```
+
+Use it:
+```python
+prompt = get_prompt(
+ "my_action",
+ task="Review code",
+ context="Python project",
+ items=["Check syntax", "Verify logic"]
+)
+```
+
+## Template Structure
+
+```yaml
+metadata:
+ name: string # Unique identifier
+ version: string # Semantic version
+ description: string # Purpose description
+ author: string # Template author
+ tags: [string] # Categorization
+ language: string # Primary language (en, zh, etc.)
+
+system_prompt: | # System message for LLM
+ ...
+
+user_prompt: | # User message (supports Jinja2)
+ ...
+
+output_format: | # Expected output format
+ ...
+
+required_vars: # Required template variables
+ - var1
+ - var2
+
+default_vars: # Default values
+ optional_var: "default"
+```
+
+## Jinja2 Features
+
+### Variables
+```yaml
+user_prompt: |
+ Task: {{ task }}
+ Code: {{ code }}
+```
+
+### Conditionals
+```yaml
+user_prompt: |
+ {% if include_context %}
+ Context: {{ context }}
+ {% endif %}
+```
+
+### Loops
+```yaml
+user_prompt: |
+ Requirements:
+ {% for req in requirements %}
+ {{ loop.index }}. {{ req }}
+ {% endfor %}
+```
+
+### Filters
+```yaml
+user_prompt: |
+ Code ({{ code | length }} chars):
+ {{ code | truncate(500) }}
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+In your `config2.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+prompt:
+ template_dir: "prompts/templates"
+ hot_reload: false
+ fallback_to_builtin: true
+ cache_enabled: true
+```
+
+## Programmatic API
+
+### PromptLoader
+
+```python
+from metagpt.prompts import PromptLoader, PromptConfig
+
+config = PromptConfig(template_dir="my_prompts")
+loader = PromptLoader(config)
+
+# Load template
+template = loader.load("write_code", "actions")
+
+# Render with variables
+prompt = template.render(design="...", task="...")
+
+# List available templates
+templates = loader.list_templates()
+```
+
+### PromptRegistry
+
+```python
+from metagpt.prompts import PromptRegistry
+
+# Configure globally
+PromptRegistry.configure(config)
+
+# Get template
+template = PromptRegistry.get("write_code")
+
+# Render directly
+prompt = PromptRegistry.render("write_code", design="...", task="...")
+```
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+metagpt/prompts/
+โโโ __init__.py # Package exports
+โโโ loader.py # PromptLoader
+โโโ models.py # Data models
+โโโ registry.py # PromptRegistry
+โโโ templates/
+ โโโ actions/ # Action prompts
+ โ โโโ write_code.yaml
+ โ โโโ write_prd.yaml
+ โ โโโ ...
+ โโโ roles/ # Role prompts
+ โโโ engineer.yaml
+ โโโ ...
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### Before (Hardcoded)
+```python
+PROMPT_TEMPLATE = """
+You are a professional engineer...
+Task: {task}
+"""
+
+prompt = PROMPT_TEMPLATE.format(task=task_doc)
+```
+
+### After (Externalized)
+```python
+from metagpt.prompts import get_prompt
+
+prompt = get_prompt("write_code", task=task_doc)
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Version your templates**: Use semantic versioning
+2. **Document variables**: List required and optional vars
+3. **Use defaults**: Provide sensible default values
+4. **Test templates**: Verify rendering with different inputs
+5. **Organize by namespace**: Use `actions/`, `roles/`, etc.
+6. **Keep prompts focused**: One purpose per template
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Q: Template not found**
+- Check the file path matches `namespace/name.yaml`
+- Verify `template_dir` configuration
+
+**Q: Variable not rendering**
+- Ensure variable is in `required_vars` or `default_vars`
+- Check Jinja2 syntax: `{{ var }}` not `{var}`
+
+**Q: Cache not updating**
+- Call `loader.clear_cache()` or `PromptRegistry.clear_cache()`
+- Or enable `hot_reload: true` for development

+# Meta-Org Agent System
+
+The Meta-Org Agent is a higher-level system component that monitors organizational health and dynamically evolves the agent team structure.
+
+## Overview
+
+Unlike traditional static agent teams, the Meta-Org system allows:
+- **Self-Healing**: Automatically detecting and fixing organizational blind spots.
+- **Dynamic Evolution**: Adding new specialized agents when needed and removing obsolete ones.
+- **Cognitive Optimization**: Identifying and relieving overloaded agents.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
+ โ Meta-Org Agent โ
+ โโโโโโโโโโโฌโโโโโโโโโโโโ
+ โ
+ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโผโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
+ โ โ โ
+ Signal Collector Agent Lifecycle Org Analyzer
+ โ โ โ
+ โ โผ โ
+ Failure/TraceLogs Active Agent Pool LLM Diagnosis
+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### 1. Signal System (`metagpt.meta_org.signals`)
+Captures health signals from the execution runtime:
+- **Failures**: Task failures or exceptions.
+- **Loops**: Detected repetitive loops in agent interactions.
+- **Conflicts**: Persistent disagreements in review.
+- **Overload**: Signs of cognitive overload or slow decisions.
+
+### 2. Signal Collector (`metagpt.meta_org.collector`)
+A singleton service that aggregates signals and detects patterns:
+- `Blind Spot`: Repeated failures of a specific type.
+- `Overload`: Single role generating excessive diverse signals.
+- `Conflict`: Two or more roles repeatedly blocking each other.
+
+### 3. Agent Lifecycle (`metagpt.meta_org.lifecycle`)
+Manages the state of each agent:
+- `PROPOSED` -> `EXPERIMENTAL` -> `ACTIVE` -> `DEPRECATED` -> `REMOVED`
+- Handles promotion based on success rate and value score.
+
+### 4. Meta-Org Agent (`metagpt.meta_org.agent`)
+The "Manager of Managers" that:
+1. Periodically analyzes collected signals.
+2. Consults LLM for diagnosis.
+3. Executes structural changes (Add/Remove roles).
+
+## Configuration
+
+Enable in `config2.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+meta_org:
+ enabled: true
+ interval_round: 5 # Analyze every 5 rounds
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+When enabled, the `Team` class automatically initializes the Meta-Org Agent.
+
+```python
+team = Team()
+team.run_project(idea="Build a complex system")
+await team.run()
+```
+
+The system will:
+1. Automatically collect signals from `TraceCollector` and action executions.
+2. Every N rounds, pause to analyze organization structure.
+3. If issues detected (e.g., repeated security bugs), it may spawn a new `SecurityReviewer` agent.
+4. If an agent is underperforming, it may deprecate it.
+
+## Extending
+
+To add custom signals:
+
+```python
+from metagpt.meta_org.collector import SignalCollector
+from metagpt.meta_org.signals import SignalType
+
+collector = SignalCollector.get_instance()
+collector.signals.append(OrgSignal(
+ signal_type=SignalType.CUSTOM,
+ message="Something happened"
+))
+```

+# Meta-Org Agent System Walkthrough
+
+## Overview
+
+Successfully implemented the **Meta-Org Agent** system, a higher-level organizational management layer that enables MetaGPT teams to self-evolve by dynamically adding, removing, and managing agents based on health signals.
+
+## Implemented Components
+
+### 1. Signal System (`metagpt.meta_org.signals` & `collector`)
+- **OrgSignal**: Standardized format for organizational health events (Failures, Loops, Conflicts, etc.).
+- **SignalCollector**: Singleton service that aggregates signals from traces and runtime events.
+- **Pattern Detection**: Algorithms to identify systemic issues like "Blind Spots" (repeated unhandled failures) and "Cognitive Overload".
+
+### 2. Agent Lifecycle (`metagpt.meta_org.lifecycle`)
+- **States**: `PROPOSED` โ `EXPERIMENTAL` โ `ACTIVE` โ `DEPRECATED` โ `REMOVED`.
+- **Logic**: Automated promotion/deprecation rules based on success rates and value scores.
+- **Manager**: Registry for tracking all agents' lifecycle status.
+
+### 3. Meta-Org Agent (`metagpt.meta_org.agent`)
+- **Diagnosis**: Uses LLM to analyze collected signals and patterns.
+- **Evolution**: Dynamically adds new roles to the team to fix blind spots.
+- **Integration**: Plugs into `Team.run()` loop to perform periodic organizational reviews.
+
+### 4. Trace Integration (`metagpt.trace.decorators`)
+- Updated `@trace_action` decorators to automatically report failure signals to the collector, bridging the gap between execution tracing and organizational analysis.
+
+## Usage Example
+
+### Enabling in Config
+```yaml
+meta_org:
+ enabled: true
+ interval_round: 5
+```
+
+### Automatic Evolution
+1. **Detection**: System detects repeated security failures in `WriteCode` action.
+2. **Diagnosis**: Meta-Org Agent identifies a "Blind Spot" via SignalCollector.
+3. **Action**: Meta-Org Agent proposes adding a `SecurityReviewer` role.
+4. **Execution**: New role is instantiated and added to the Team.
+
+## File Summary
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `metagpt/meta_org/signals.py` | Signal data models |
+| `metagpt/meta_org/collector.py` | Signal collection & pattern detection |
+| `metagpt/meta_org/lifecycle.py` | Agent lifecycle state management |
+| `metagpt/meta_org/agent.py` | Core Meta-Org Agent logic |
+| `metagpt/team.py` | Integration into run loop |
+| `metagpt/trace/decorators.py` | Auto-capture of failure signals |
+
+## Next Steps
+- Implement advanced SOP evolution (adjusting Review strictness).
+- Refine LLM prompts for more complex organizational changes (Splitting roles).

+- Observe organizational signals (failures, loops, conflicts, delays).
+- Diagnostics: Identify root causes of organizational issues.

+Responsibilities:
+- DECIDE when to ADD a new agent (e.g., to cover blind spots or reduce overload).
+- DECIDE when to REMOVE or DEPRECATE an agent (e.g., low value, redundancy).
+- DECIDE when to SPLIT an agent (e.g., cognitive overload).
+- DECIDE when to MERGE agents or ADD ARBITERS (e.g., conflicts).
