Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~60 minutes

Rationale: This PR spans heterogeneous changes across governance (CLAUDE.md with significant new frameworks), seven new agent specifications with detailed workflows, 50+ blog post description updates (repetitive but requires spot-checking), configuration changes, page restructuring with new front matter blocks, and new documentation. While many blog-post changes are repetitive (description field updates following a consistent pattern), the introduction of comprehensive governance frameworks, agent specifications, SEO documentation, and use-case content rewrites demands careful review to ensure coherence, quality gate definitions, and alignment with the new autonomous execution model. The sheer scope and variety of affected systems elevates complexity.

Poem

🐰 A Rabbit's Ode to the Great Refactor

Seven agents now orchestrate the way,
Pre-approval signals guide the fray,
From chaos into startup's gleaming light,
With micro-commits, we ship things right.
Descriptions bloom for MVPs divine,
And quality gates ensure they'll shine! ✨

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title Check	❓ Inconclusive	The PR title "refact: improve seo" is related to the changeset, as the bulk of the changes do involve SEO improvements including description field updates across 70+ blog posts and pages, new FAQs, and SEO strategy documentation. However, the title is overly generic and vague to effectively communicate the scope and nature of the changes. While "improve seo" conveys some information, it fails to capture that the PR also includes substantial additions to CLAUDE.md (agent framework and coordination patterns), new agent specification files, documentation governance changes, Hugo configuration updates, and robots.txt modifications. A developer scanning the git history would not understand from this title alone that the changes involve such a broad range of work beyond basic SEO metadata tweaks.	Consider revising the title to be more specific and descriptive of the primary changes. For example, "refactor: enhance seo metadata and content strategy" or "refactor: update blog descriptions and add seo optimization docs" would better communicate the scope. If this PR encompasses multiple distinct areas (SEO, agent coordination, documentation), consider whether the changes could be split into focused PRs with clearer, more specific titles.
