What Research AI Dev Protocols does

Task: Research AI-Assisted Development Best Practices

Context

We have a mature protocol system for human-AI collaboration in software development. It includes:

Prediction protocol (explicit DOING/EXPECT/RESULT before actions)
Investigation protocol (competing hypotheses, structured debugging)
Iteration protocol (tracked failure reduction with regression stops)
Foreman/subagent separation (coordinator doesn't execute)
Physical prompt files for subagent dispatch
Gauntlet pattern
