Load active-project AGENTS.md path-chain guidance into the protocol area without duplicating the project root instructions.
Move the AGENTS.md protocol wording into a prompt template, reuse existing file/path helpers, and cover direct-path discovery plus prompt assembly with focused tests.
Introduce a new prompt "protocol" separate from extras: add LoopData.protocol_temporary and protocol_persistent, include protocol contents before message history during prompt construction, and clear temporary protocol data each turn. Add helper _build_context_message to render protocol/extras, update response input conversion to include protocol, and move project instructions & active/loaded skills injection into protocol. Update docs, prompts, plugin metadata, the SkillsTool message, and add tests to verify protocol placement and behavior.
- split monolithic _10_system_prompt.py into focused extensions: main (10), tools (11), mcp (12), skills (13), secrets (13), project (14)
- each extension exposes a build_prompt() function with call_extensions_async hook for plugin extensibility
- move tool prompt collection from VariablesPlugin to _11_tools_prompt using subagents.get_paths for proper directory coverage
- add {{include original}} directive to process_includes allowing prompt inheritance without copy-paste
- add agent.system.main.specifics.md for subagent-specific additions without overriding entire role
- remove redundant plugin prompt extensions (_15_text_editor, _20_code_execution) that duplicated tool collection
- add _09_text_editor_config to register per-file kwargs via agent.data instead of VariablesPlugin in prompts dir
