How do I check if my agent can move to the next phase?

You can use the `get_current_state` tool to check the `canTransition` boolean, or call `check_phase_invariants` to see exactly which rules are blocking progress.

What happens if an invariant check fails?

If an invariant fails, the `transition_to_next_phase` tool will block the transition, ensuring the agent cannot proceed until the required safety or structural conditions are met.

Does this manager support custom invariants?

The manager enforces core invariants like `PERMISSION_BOUNDARY` and `STRUCTURAL_INTEGRITY` to maintain strict control over the agent lifecycle.

More Details Connect to Claude

The Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager acts as a deterministic state machine that governs agentic workflows. It ensures that agents progress through strict, sequential stages: INITIALIZATION, TOOL_EXECUTION, VALIDATION, and COMPLETION. By enforcing hard invariants--such as PERMISSION_BOUNDARY checks during tool use and STRUCTURAL_INTEGRITY checks during validation--it prevents unauthorized actions and ensures data quality. Use get_current_state to monitor progress, check_phase_invariants to verify safety, and transition_to_next_phase to advance the workflow once all gates are passed.
