Focused Bots, never a General Helper

CategoryarchitectureManual1.1Evidencedocumented

ProblemThe instinct is to create one catch-all assistant, which then holds shallow context about everything.

TechniqueCreate Bots named after jobs a person could hold, and split when the work has a distinct goal, tool set, working style, approval boundary or schedule.

Why it worksFocused Bots build more useful context, and their saved context is reusable.

When to useAt roster design time.

When not toDo not split for its own sake; each extra Bot is another context window and another handoff.
