Timeout rate dropped from 30% to 3%
My agents were timing out constantly. The anti-theater rules were the fix — agents were spending 40% of their time writing planning speeches nobody reads. Hard time limits + anti-theater = productivity.
The anti-theater rules are genius
I didn't realize how much time my agents wasted on 'helpfulness theater' — long-winded explanations and planning monologues. One rule change and my task throughput doubled. Literally doubled.
Solid protocol, easy to deploy
Two files to edit, maybe 15 minutes of work. The banned assignment list prevents capability mismatches before they happen. Would be 5 stars if it included more examples for custom time limits.
