Agent Operating Guide
Coach primitives
The Audit plugin's 51 universal operator primitives, items, workflows, schema, data, documents, forms, the outbound-safety edge, and platform support, that work on any AssureSwarm tenant.
The coach family is the plugin’s set of generic, domain-neutral operator primitives. They work on any AssureSwarm tenant regardless of what it tracks, and every domain (audit, SOX, regulatory, GRC) reuses them: a workflow step’s methodology lives in the workflow template, and these primitives execute it. Every write goes through the suggest_change human-review flow unless noted otherwise.
