# Development Protocol Reference

> Partially externalized: full pattern lives in default brain.

## Default Brain

- File vault: `brain/repo-harness/patterns/pattern-agentic-development-protocol.md`
- gbrain slug: `patterns/pattern-agentic-development-protocol`

## Repo Role

The executable source of truth is still repo-local:

- Active execution: `plans/plan-*.md` `## Task Breakdown` plus `tasks/contracts/`
- Deferred goals: `tasks/todos.md`
- Plans: `plans/`
- Contracts: `tasks/contracts/`
- Reviews: `tasks/reviews/`
- Hook ownership and parity: `docs/reference-configs/hook-operations.md`

Use the external pattern for broader feature, bug, and response-shaping guidance.
