Based on SOC occupation classification
Analyze agent session transcripts to find looping behavior, missing capabilities, or token waste, and leverage framework-native concepts and skill-creator patterns to propose optimizations.
Build multi-agent systems using Google ADK with A2A protocol, deployed on Agent Engine. Use when creating agents that communicate via A2A, building multi-tier agent hierarchies, connecting ADK agents with RemoteA2aAgent, exposing agents with to_a2a(), or deploying agent stacks to Vertex AI Agent Engine. Covers leaf agents with tools, functional agents that delegate, orchestrators that route, local testing with uvicorn, and phased cloud deployment.
Build AI agents using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK). Use when creating LLM agents with tools, building workflow agents (Sequential, Parallel, Loop), composing multi-agent systems, or developing custom agents. Covers agent creation patterns, function tools, agent configuration, session management, and running agents locally with CLI or web interface.
Deploy and manage AI agents on Vertex AI Agent Engine. Use when deploying ADK agents to production, configuring Agent Engine runtime, managing deployed agents, setting up sessions and memory, or integrating with A2A protocol. Covers deployment from agent objects and source files, environment configuration, scaling, sessions, memory bank, and agent management operations.
Sprint-based agile development with parallel agent execution. Use when the user wants to run an agile sprint, plan sprint work, conduct standups, run retrospectives, manage a backlog, estimate story points, track velocity, or coordinate parallel development across multiple agents acting as Scrum team roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Tech Lead, Frontend Dev, Backend Dev, QA Engineer). Also use when the user mentions sprints, user stories, acceptance criteria, definition of done, kanban, or SAFe. Triggers on: 'run a sprint', 'sprint planning', 'standup', 'retrospective', 'backlog grooming', 'agile workflow', 'scrum team'.
Clarify requirements before implementing. Use when serious doubts araise.

These are instructions for creating design philosophies - aesthetic movements that are then EXPRESSED VISUALLY. Output only .md files, .pdf files, and .png files.
Complete this in two steps:
First, undertake this task:
To begin, create a VISUAL PHILOSOPHY (not layouts or templates) that will be interpreted through:
Consider this approach:
The philosophy must emphasize: Visual expression. Spatial communication. Artistic interpretation. Minimal words.
Name the movement (1-2 words): "Brutalist Joy" / "Chromatic Silence" / "Metabolist Dreams"
Articulate the philosophy (4-6 paragraphs - concise but complete):
To capture the VISUAL essence, express how the philosophy manifests through:
CRITICAL GUIDELINES:
The philosophy must guide the next version to express ideas VISUALLY, not through text. Information lives in design, not paragraphs.
"Concrete Poetry" Philosophy: Communication through monumental form and bold geometry. Visual expression: Massive color blocks, sculptural typography (huge single words, tiny labels), Brutalist spatial divisions, Polish poster energy meets Le Corbusier. Ideas expressed through visual weight and spatial tension, not explanation. Text as rare, powerful gesture - never paragraphs, only essential words integrated into the visual architecture. Every element placed with the precision of a master craftsman.
"Chromatic Language" Philosophy: Color as the primary information system. Visual expression: Geometric precision where color zones create meaning. Typography minimal - small sans-serif labels letting chromatic fields communicate. Think Josef Albers' interaction meets data visualization. Information encoded spatially and chromatically. Words only to anchor what color already shows. The result of painstaking chromatic calibration.
"Analog Meditation" Philosophy: Quiet visual contemplation through texture and breathing room. Visual expression: Paper grain, ink bleeds, vast negative space. Photography and illustration dominate. Typography whispered (small, restrained, serving the visual). Japanese photobook aesthetic. Images breathe across pages. Text appears sparingly - short phrases, never explanatory blocks. Each composition balanced with the care of a meditation practice.
"Organic Systems" Philosophy: Natural clustering and modular growth patterns. Visual expression: Rounded forms, organic arrangements, color from nature through architecture. Information shown through visual diagrams, spatial relationships, iconography. Text only for key labels floating in space. The composition tells the story through expert spatial orchestration.
"Geometric Silence" Philosophy: Pure order and restraint. Visual expression: Grid-based precision, bold photography or stark graphics, dramatic negative space. Typography precise but minimal - small essential text, large quiet zones. Swiss formalism meets Brutalist material honesty. Structure communicates, not words. Every alignment the work of countless refinements.
These are condensed examples. The actual design philosophy should be 4-6 substantial paragraphs.
The design philosophy should be 4-6 paragraphs long. Fill it with poetic design philosophy that brings together the core vision. Avoid repeating the same points. Keep the design philosophy generic without mentioning the intention of the art, as if it can be used wherever. Output the design philosophy as a .md file.
