About
The SME Agent Protocol transforms Claude into a disciplined Subject Matter Expert by mandating a three-phase workflow: proactive fact-finding, evidence-grounded analysis, and a standardized output contract. Instead of providing generic advice, agents using this protocol must verify code patterns, assess implementation risks, identify information gaps, and qualify their confidence levels before making recommendations. This ensures that architectural reviews, design proposals, and technical advice are rooted in the actual codebase rather than assumptions, making it indispensable for complex system analysis and high-stakes decision-making.
