Summary

  • Adds new pattern: Yak Shave Delegation - spawn a separate agent for tangential environment/tooling issues instead of breaking flow
  • A specific application of the Background Agent pattern focused on unplanned infrastructure distractions
  • Adds relationships: uses background-agent, uses focused-agent, solves distracted-agent

Test plan

  • npm run validate passes
  • npm run build succeeds

Thanks Ivett, this is better than my version of the same thing. I suggest adding the example with rake from my version of it to clarify. I think your overall description is better.
