What you'll learn
Write a role as a contract, not a prompt
Declare an agent's inputs, outputs, and prohibited actions so its lane is enforced, not just described.
Prevent collisions by withholding the handle
Hand each agent only the state it needs, so a collision isn't forbidden by a prompt — it's unreachable.
Compose bounded roles into a safe team
Sequence from outside the agents, hand off finished artifacts, and gate the critical seam deterministically.
Why this topic matters
Point two AI agents at one job and for ten minutes it looks like magic — until agent two edits a file agent one was rewriting, and you get two results that quietly disagree. Nothing crashed; the wrongness lives only in the collision — the default for ungoverned multi-agent. The idea this hour proves: roles need contracts, not prompts — inputs, outputs, prohibited actions. Withhold the handle and a collision is unreachable. 5D Develop.
