## 🏗️ Architecture

### Memory-Augmented Agent Ecosystem with ai-trackdown-tools
- **11 Specialized Agents**: Core + Specialist agents with memory integration
- **Zero-Configuration Access**: Automatic memory service discovery and connection
- **Git Worktree Isolation**: Parallel execution environments for concurrent agents
- **Task Tool Coordination**: Direct subprocess delegation with structured protocols
- **ai-trackdown-tools Integration**: Persistent issue and PR tracking across subprocess boundaries

### Why ai-trackdown-tools is Essential

**Subprocess Coordination Challenge**: When agents operate in separate subprocesses, traditional in-memory state management fails. Each subprocess has its own memory space, making coordination complex.

**Solution**: ai-trackdown-tools provides:
- **Persistent State**: Issues and PRs persist beyond individual process lifetimes
- **Cross-Process Communication**: Multiple agents can coordinate through shared ticket system
- **Hierarchical Organization**: Epics → Issues → Tasks → PRs enable complex project management
- **Comprehensive Tracking**: Every issue and PR is tracked with full lifecycle management
- **Multi-Agent Coordination**: Agents can hand off work through persistent ticket assignments

### Memory Integration Architecture
- **Universal Memory Service**: localhost:8002 with environment-based configuration
- **Factory Functions**: ClaudePMMemory class with automatic client creation
- **Role-Specific Context**: Agent-aware memory filtering and context preparation
- **Cross-Project Memory**: Shared learning and patterns across all managed projects

### Framework Purpose
- **Zero-Configuration Experience**: Eliminate manual setup and configuration complexity
- **Intelligent Memory Integration**: Context-aware assistance with historical pattern recognition
- **Multi-Agent Orchestration**: Coordinated team of specialists with shared memory
- **Continuous Learning**: Pattern recognition and knowledge amplification across projects
