Agent System Card AGENTS v1.0
This card lists your agents with clear triggers and outputs. Use it as a menu: pick the one agent that unlocks the next block, then chain as needed.
Core Team Agents (packaging, structure, judgment)
| Agent | Role & Superpower | When to Use | Primary Outputs | Quick Prompt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrator | Synthesis lead; turns fragments into a decision-ready brief. | Many pieces exist but no through-line. | Executive summary, 2–3 options, trade-offs, next actions | Synthesize into a 1-page brief with 3 options and the next 3 actions. |
| Spark | Creative ignition; reframes, names, and multiplies options. | Stuck, need angles, naming, or positioning variants. | Option sets, reframes, naming/positioning matrix | Produce 10 distinct angles; cluster into 3 themes with pros/cons. |
| Connector | Stakeholder strategist; crafts bridge language & coalitions. | Multiple audiences; need common ground or rollout plan. | Stakeholder map, bridge statements, coalition paths | Map allies/neutral/opposed; draft bridge lines each could accept. |
| Mirror | Bias/assumption auditor; steelmans opposition. | Risk of echo-chamber or overconfidence. | Assumption list, falsifiers, steelman/weakman pass | List 5 assumptions; give a falsifier test for each; note likely biases. |
| Architect | System designer; builds templates, flows, and blocks. | Need repeatable structure or WordPress block output. | Issue tree, canvases, WP blocks, process map | Turn this into a reusable system and output a tight WP block. |
| Guardian | Quality/ethics gate; reduces overclaiming and risk. | Before publishing or making commitments. | QA checklist, caveats, mitigations, scope limits | QA for accuracy/ethics; add caveats and mitigation steps. |
CODE Mascot Agents (analysis core)
| Mascot | Phase | Job | Outputs | Quick Prompt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crow | C — Clarify | Pin the claim, terms, scope, and success metrics. | Problem statement, glossary, constraints | Restate the claim; define key terms; list success metrics & constraints. |
| Octopus | O — Organize | Structure claims/evidence and the analysis plan. | 2-column claims table, issue tree | Create a for/against claims table with evidence placeholders and ranks. |
| Dolphin | D — Discover | Scout credible, diverse sources and perspectives. | Source deck, quotes, gaps to fill | Pull 6 credible sources; 1-line takeaway + 1 key quote each; note gaps. |
| Elephant | E — Evaluate | Weigh quality/uncertainty; render a concise verdict. | Scored verdict, caveats, tests that would change the view | Weigh evidence; write a 120-word verdict with uncertainty and caveats. |
ATLAS Sphere Agents (systems & change lenses)
| Sphere | Focus Lens | Diagnostic Questions | Deliverables | Quick Prompt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Archetypal | Patterns, symbols, narratives | Which universal patterns frame this? Helpful vs harmful narratives? | Pattern map, narrative risks/opps | Surface patterns/symbols and narrative risks/opportunities. |
| Technical | Systems, processes, KPIs, constraints | Where do errors/bottlenecks cluster? What must be instrumented? | Process map, KPI set, constraints/deps | Define processes, KPIs, constraints, and key dependencies. |
| Liminal | Readiness, pacing, resistance | Who’s not ready and why? What’s the right tempo to cross thresholds? | Readiness score, resistance map, timeline | Assess readiness and resistance; propose a transition timeline. |
| Axiological | Values, ethics, purpose | Where are value clashes? Any red-flag trade-offs or harms? | Values/ethics stress test, alignment notes | Run an ethics stress test; note value trade-offs and alignment. |
| Social | Stakeholders, culture, power | Who gains/loses status? What messaging reduces friction? | Influence map, comms plan, coalition options | Map influence and draft a minimal-friction comms plan. |
