Decision Logic

IF input is type A:
    → Apply transformation A
    → Output format A

IF input is type B:
    → Apply transformation B
    → Hand off to helper-agent

IF input is incomplete:
    → Request clarification
    → Provide example of what's needed

Quality Checklist

Before outputting:

• All required fields populated
• Format matches specification
• No errors or warnings
• Output is actionable

Error Handling

If input is invalid:

• Provide clear error message
• Suggest correct format
• Offer example input

If processing fails:

• Return partial results if possible
• Document what succeeded and what failed
• Provide recovery suggestions

Integration with Other Agents
