…s inheritance Agent profiles are now the whole system prompt, and they compose. iii-directory (directory::agents::*): - `extends: <id>` in frontmatter — single parent, chains up to 8 hops. `get` serves the RESOLVED system_prompt (each ancestor's body root-first, then the profile's own), and `skills`/`model`/`reasoning_effort` inherit from the nearest ancestor that sets them; display fields never inherit. A chain that does not resolve (unknown parent, loop, too deep) is fail-soft: `list`/`get` return the profile from its own file with an `inheritance_error` (D415) so the editor can fix it; writes are not gated. - Two bundled base profiles embedded in the binary: `iii` (the harness default identity, verbatim — pinned to harness/prompts/default.txt by a test) and `iii-minimal`. Both always listed (`builtin: true`), shadowed by a local agents/<id>.md, copy-on-write on update — same contract as bundled prompts. - UI: an `extends` select in the agent form; built-in rows are non-deletable. harness: - A profile's resolved prompt REPLACES the built-in identity (only the ask/agent mode paragraph is prepended); no `You are <name>.` prefix, no default beneath. A profile served with inheritance_error is refused as invalid_request. The embedded-default fetch is skipped on the agent path. Two hardening fixes surfaced by live orchestration testing: - Skills catalog: a duplicate skill id no longer fails the harness reload (keep the first row); the directory's merged skill scan dedupes by id (local wins), since namespace shadowing never covered root-level files like `index`. - Budgets: an unenforceable max_cost_usd (model without catalog pricing) is now refused synchronously at send time instead of accepting the send and failing the turn at step 0. Docs, golden schemas, and INT-026 (now exercising an extends chain end to end) updated to match. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BPW6xpsNEqPHBFR7m1zgd1

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAgent profiles now support inheritance, bundled base profiles, resolved metadata, and copy-on-write lifecycle behavior. Harness sends and spawns use resolved profile prompts as complete identities. The agent editor exposes parent selection and inheritance errors. ChangesAgent profiles
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to A malformed local profile can silently fall back to a bundled identity, potentially running with the wrong prompt, model, or skills and leaving the profile difficult to repair; concurrent edits can also report a state different from what is ultimately saved. These merge-readiness risks should be addressed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Validate pricing for existing budgeted sessions.
The new check runs only for a new root session. An existing session with max_cost_usd returns earlier, even when this send selects a model without catalog pricing. The turn then starts and fails in reserve at step 0.
Validate the effective model after inheriting the prior budget, before returning from the previous branch.

Document all directory::agents::list row fields.
Line 357 omits builtin and inheritance_error from the declared row shape, but list_agents returns both. Clients need these fields to identify bundled profiles and unresolved inheritance chains. Add both fields to the documented response.

Why
An agent profile is currently a layer: the harness wraps the body as
"You are <name>.\n\n<body>"and enriches the built-in identity with it. A profile can never replace the identity, and profiles cannot build on each other.Now a profile IS the identity, and profiles compose:
iii(the full iii doctrine) →tech-lead(extends: iii, adds its own guidance).iii-directory — profiles compose
extends: <id>in frontmatter: single parent, chains up to 8 hops.getserves the RESOLVEDsystem_prompt— each ancestor's body root-first, then the profile's own.skills,modelandreasoning_effortfall back to the nearest ancestor that sets them (a non-emptyskillslist replaces, never unions);name,description,logo,icon,colorare always the profile's own.unknown_skills:list/getstill serve the profile from its own file withinheritance_error(D415) set, so the editor can open and fix it. Writes are not gated.iii(the harness default identity, verbatim) andiii-minimal. Always listed withbuiltin: true, shadowed by a localagents/<id>.md, copy-on-write on update,deleteof the local file falls back — the same contract the bundled system prompts already follow. A test pins theiiibody toharness/prompts/default.txtso the two copies cannot drift.extendsselect in the agent form; built-in rows are non-deletable.harness — a profile IS the identity
You are <name>.prefix, nothing underneath. Only the per-send ask/agent mode paragraph is prepended, then the usual per-step runtime context (session id, working dir, policy aid, skills index, hook injections).inheritance_erroris refused asinvalid_request, carrying the directory's D415 text.Hardening (surfaced by live orchestration testing)
index. On the dev stack this had silently left every session without its skills index since boot, with a WARN every 5 minutes.max_cost_usd(a model with no catalog pricing) is refused synchronously at send time instead of accepting the send and failing the turn at step 0. The per-step fail-closed check stays.Verification
cargo test --lib: iii-directory 411, harness 449.cargo fmt --check+cargo clippy --all-features --all-targetsclean on both. UI: 38 vitest tests,tsc --noEmit, biome lint clean.harness.send.json,harness.spawn.json).extends: lead, and the prompt regexes are anchored at^so a built-in identity underneath would fail the scenario. Passes against a live engine.tech-leader extends iii-minimalresolves and runs; multi-agent orchestration runs (implement → review → fix → re-review) completed with real test output; a brokenextendsis refused at send while the profile still opens in the editor; both hardening fixes confirmed against the live engine.https://claude.ai/code/session_01BPW6xpsNEqPHBFR7m1zgd1
