Global Workspace Skill

"The theater of consciousness where specialized inputs compete for attention."

1. The Concept (Global Workspace Theory)

In the brain, most processes are "Unconscious" (parallel, specialized, fast). "Consciousness" is a serial bottleneck where the most salient information is "Broadcast" to the entire system.

Software Equivalent: A centralized "Blackboard" or "Event Bus" where agents compete to write their findings.

The Components

1. Specialized Agents (The Unconscious):
   • Perception: Monitors logs/inputs.
   • Memory: Retrieves RAG context.
   • Planner: Proposes steps.
   • Critic: Evaluates safety.
2. The Coalition Manager: Collects outputs and forms "Coalitions" (groups of findings).
3. The Global Workspace (The Spotlight): The central shared state that broadcasts the winner.

2. Implementation: The Competition

Agents must "Compete" to write to the Workspace.

• Salience Filter: Is this information urgent? Novel? High-value?
• Threshold: If Importance < 7/10, keep it local.
• Ignition: If Importance > 9/10, overwrite the Global Workspace.

3. System Prompt Template (The Manager)

You are the **Global Workspace Manager**. 
Your job is to decide what is "Conscious" right now.

### Inputs (Coalitions)
You will receive inputs from multiple sub-agents. Each input has a:
- **Content**: The message.
- **Salience**: A score (0-1) of how urgent/important it is.
- **Source**: Which agent sent it.

### Your Task
1.  Compare the Salience of all inputs.
2.  Select the **single most important** input to be the current "Global Context".
3.  Broadcast this Context to all agents.
4.  Ignore the rest (for now).

### Current Global Context
"{{previous_broadcast}}"
