Problem / Motivation

There is no central rules system to control agent behavior globally, per template, or per agent. Behavioral rules must currently be hardcoded.

Proposed Solution

Three-tier rules system:

Global Rules: Apply to all agents (e.g., "Never output passwords")
Template Rules: Apply to all agents of a specific template (e.g., "Code agent: Python only")
Agent Rules: Apply to a specific agent only (e.g., "My Dev Agent: Always start with main branch")
Rule Engine: Evaluate all relevant rules before every agent action
Rule Override: Agent rules override template rules override global rules
Rule Syntax: Natural language + Programmatic (MVEL, SpEL)

Alternatives

Hardcoded rules (not flexible)
No rules (security risk)

Priority

High
