feat: enhance openagent and prompt-enchancer with research-backed patterns
OpenAgent improvements: - Add critical_rules with absolute priority enforcement (approval gates, stop on failure, report first) - Implement execution_priority system with 3-tier conflict resolution - Refactor workflow stages with clear approval gates and validation - Add delegation rules with context file creation guidelines - Improve session management with lazy initialization Prompt Enhancer improvements: - Apply Stanford/Anthropic research patterns (position sensitivity, nesting limits) - Add instruction ratio optimization (40-50% target) - Implement single source of truth with @references - Add explicit prioritization with 3-tier system - Enhance analysis with research-backed pattern validation

Special case - "Simple questions requiring execution":

- Examples:

✓ "What files are in this directory?" → Requires bash (ls) → Request approval

3. Validate external context files load properly
|
||||||
|
4. A/B test old vs new prompt effectiveness
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Next Steps**:
|
||||||
|
1. Deploy with monitoring
|
||||||
|
2. Track effectiveness metrics
|
