## Choosing a Template

1. **Identify primary function:** What does this agent do most?
2. **Match to template:** Select the closest match
3. **Customize as needed:** Add/remove directories based on specific needs
4. **Document changes:** Note any modifications for consistency

## Directory Naming Conventions

- Use lowercase letters and hyphens: `my-directory/`
- Be descriptive but concise: `active-tasks/` not `at/`
- Group related items: `knowledge/domain/` not `domain-knowledge/`
- Use consistent depth: Avoid deeply nested structures (>3 levels)
