## How agents use DEV Community

Inside a Definable workflow, DEV Community is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → DEV Community** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from DEV Community (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → DEV Community** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into DEV Community (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → DEV Community** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via DEV Community (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every DEV Community call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
