Hook-Based Workflow Enforcement\n- **Source**: Hook-Based Architecture and Soft Enforcement Architecture patterns\n- **Placement**: `methodologies/hook-based-workflow-enforcement/`\n- **Description**: Progressive nudge system (silent → hint → warning → strong reminder) with token-efficient session management and native plugin integration.\n\n### 2. Adaptive Agent Delegation\n- **Source**: Agent Delegation System and Delegation-Enforced Workflows\n- **Placement**: `specializations/shared/adaptive-agent-delegation.js`\n- **Description**: Automatic task routing to specialized agents with expert-level routing and parallel execution capabilities.\n\n### 3. Multi-Agent Team Coordination\n- **Source**: Agent Teams Integration and Dual-Mode Agent Execution\n- **Placement**: `specializations/shared/multi-agent-team-coordination.js`\n- **Description**: Collaborative workflows with real-time communication, automatic execution mode selection, and task list sharing.\n\n## Plugin Ideas\n\n- **Hook-Based Orchestration Engine**: Install workflow enforcement hooks with progressive nudging system and token-efficient session management for Claude Code environments.\n\n## Library Mapping\n\n| Extractable Process | Library Status | Action | Existing Path | Target Placement |\n|-------------------|----------------|--------|---------------|------------------|\n| Hook-Based Workflow Enforcement | NEW | Progressive nudge system with token-efficient session management | - | methodologies/hook-based-workflow-enforcement/ |\n| Adaptive Agent Delegation | NEW | Automatic task routing to specialized agents with parallel execution | - | specializations/shared/adaptive-agent-delegation.js |\n| Multi-Agent Team Coordination | NEW | Collaborative agent workflows with real-time communication | - | specializations/shared/multi-agent-team-coordination.js |\n| Progressive Enforcement Architecture | NEW | Escalating workflow guidance system (silent → hint → warning → reminder) | - | specializations/shared/progressive-enforcement-architecture.js |\n\n## Plugin Marketplace Mapping\n\n| Plugin Idea | Marketplace Status | Action | Existing Plugin | Target Placement |\n|-------------|-------------------|--------|-----------------|------------------|\n| Hook-Based Orchestration Engine | NEW | Workflow enforcement with progressive nudging and token-efficient session management | - | plugins/a5c/marketplace/blueprints/hook-based-orchestration-engine/ |\n\n## Research Methodology Notes\n\nFramework discovered through Claude Code ecosystem analysis.
