# Core Meta-Schema Types
@doc """
Returns the base agent schema that defines fundamental agent capabilities.
Provides a foundational schema for autonomous agents with core attributes,
behavioral patterns, interaction protocols, and meta-cognitive capabilities.
This schema serves as the parent for all specialized agent schemas.
## Returns
- Base agent schema struct with:
- Core attributes: identity, state, goals, memory
- Behavioral patterns: goal pursuit, social interaction
- Interaction protocols: basic messaging
- Learning parameters and evolution constraints
- Reflection capabilities and meta-operations

Creates a specialized agent schema based on the provided specialization type.
Extends the base agent schema with domain-specific capabilities and behaviors
tailored to the specialization. Currently supports researcher, coordinator,
and creative agent specializations.
## Parameters
- `specialization` - The type of specialization (`:researcher`, `:coordinator`, `:creative`)
## Returns
- Specialized agent schema struct with extended capabilities:
- `:researcher` - Enhanced with knowledge acquisition and hypothesis formation
- `:coordinator` - Enhanced with resource allocation and optimization strategies
- `:creative` - Enhanced with creative synthesis and aesthetic evaluation
