## 📚 UNDERSTANDING SWARMCARE

### What is SwarmCare?

SwarmCare is a **medical AI system** with:

1. **Intelligent Agents** that can:
   - Self-correct when they make mistakes
   - Learn from failures
   - Run tasks in parallel
   - Manage complex workflows

2. **Medical Guardrails** that ensure:
   - Patient safety (PHI protection)
   - HIPAA compliance
   - Medical accuracy
   - Fact-checking

3. **29 Complete Modules** covering:
   - Infrastructure setup
   - Data processing
   - AI/ML models
   - User interfaces
   - Security
   - Deployment

### Architecture Overview

```

### How Phases Work

Each phase follows this pattern:

```python
# 1. Import agent framework
from agent_framework.feedback_loop import AdaptiveFeedbackLoop
from agent_framework.context_manager import ContextManager
# ... etc

# 2. Define phase
class Phase00Implementation:
    def __init__(self):
        self.phase_id = 0
        self.phase_name = "Foundation & Infrastructure"
        self.story_points = 37

        # Initialize agent framework
        self.feedback_loop = AdaptiveFeedbackLoop()
        self.context = ContextManager()
        # ... etc

    def execute(self, task):
        # 3. Agent framework runs in loop:
        # → Gather context
        # → Take action
        # → Verify work
        # → Repeat if needed (self-correcting!)

        return result  # Success or failure with details
```

### How Agent Framework Works

Think of it like a **smart assistant**:

1. **Feedback Loop**: "Did I do this right? If not, I'll try again differently"
2. **Context Manager**: "Let me remember what's important, forget what's not"
3. **Subagent Orchestrator**: "I'll split this into 5 parallel tasks"
4. **Verification System**: "Let me check my work 4 different ways"
5. **Medical Guardrails**: "Is this safe? Is this HIPAA compliant?"

**Result:** Code that's **self-correcting**, **parallel**, and **safe**!
