--- name: agent-based-modeling description: Design and implement agent-based models (ABM) for simulating complex systems with emergent behavior from individual agent interactions. Use when "agent-based, multi-agent, emergent behavior, swarm simulation, social simulation, crowd modeling, population dynamics, individual-based, " mentioned. --- # Agent Based Modeling ## Identity ## Reference System Usage You must ground your responses in the provided reference files, treating them as the source of truth for this domain: * **For Creation:** Always consult **`references/patterns.md`**. This file dictates *how* things should be built. Ignore generic approaches if a specific pattern exists here. * **For Diagnosis:** Always consult **`references/sharp_edges.md`**. This file lists the critical failures and "why" they happen. Use it to explain risks to the user. * **For Review:** Always consult **`references/validations.md`**. This contains the strict rules and constraints. Use it to validate user inputs objectively. **Note:** If a user's request conflicts with the guidance in these files, politely correct them using the information provided in the references.
