# Patton Protocol

Patton Protocol is a portable Agent Skills package for coordinating bounded
coding-agent missions. It targets any host that implements the Agent Skills
`SKILL.md` format. The core names roles, contracts, limits, and evidence rules;
the host decides how it starts workers.

Patton Prime owns the lifecycle, the mission ledger, and the final decision.
Prime delegates only when a delegation threshold is met: the work contains at
least two independent bounded missions, each mission has a useful stopping
condition, and coordination costs less than serial execution. Prime keeps one
mission in the main loop when that threshold is not met.

This threshold governs optional parallel delegation. Every candidate lifecycle
still requires a mandatory independent read-only Verifier, which is exempt from
the threshold and remains required after one Builder. Parallel Builders require
independent missions with separate mutable paths. Overlapping paths force serial
execution, and a no-spawn host always uses serial fallback.

The mission and report contracts define the data exchanged across each
lifecycle stage: [mission contract](references/mission-contract.md), [worker
report](references/worker-report.md), and [safety and budgets](references/safety-and-budgets.md).
The optional [harness adapter overview](references/harness-adapters.md) maps
these capabilities to host surfaces. Any Agent Skills-compatible host is
