## 🔄 Continuous Verification

### Pre-Commit Hook (Recommended)
Add to `.husky/pre-commit`:
```bash
# Verify agent count before each commit
node scripts/verify-agent-count.cjs || {
  echo "❌ Agent count verification failed!"
  echo "Run: node scripts/fix-agent-count.cjs"
  exit 1
}
```

### CI/CD Integration
Add to `.github/workflows/quality-gates.yml`:
```yaml
- name: Verify Agent Count
  run: node scripts/verify-agent-count.cjs
```

### NPM Script
Add to `package.json`:
```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "verify:agents": "node scripts/verify-agent-count.cjs",
    "fix:agents": "node scripts/fix-agent-count.cjs"
  }
}
```

## 🎓 Lessons Learned

### Why the Mismatch Occurred
1. **Dana-Database added in v6.4.0**: Increased core from 7 → 8
2. **Oliver-MCP added in v6.4.1**: Already part of core 8
3. **Documentation lag**: Some files not updated after agent additions

### Prevention Strategies
1. **Automated Verification**: Run `verify-agent-count.cjs` in CI/CD
2. **Centralized Constants**: Define `TOTAL_AGENTS = 18` in single source
3. **Template Variables**: Use `{{AGENT_COUNT}}` in documentation
4. **Agent Registry Tests**: Assert exact count in test suite

### Best Practices
1. **Single Source of Truth**: CLAUDE.md is authoritative
2. **Verification First**: Always run verification before releases
3. **Bulk Operations**: Use scripts for consistency
4. **Documentation Reviews**: Check agent count in all PRs
