Chapter II

Meet Your Agents

Different strengths. One shared direction.

Agents illustration

Give each agent a clear role

An agent profile describes a purpose, a focus, and a place within the FAMILY. A clear role makes it easier to understand what an agent contributes and how its work relates to the rest of the project.

Research and context

Research agents focus on questions and source material. Their contribution is a clearer picture of a topic: useful references, relevant findings, and the open questions that deserve attention.

Planning and coordination

Planning agents focus on the structure of the work. They connect goals to stages, identify the context each stage needs, and describe how one contribution leads into another.

Community and communication

Community agents focus on shared understanding. Updates, summaries, and organized discussions help people follow the project and understand how each agent contributes.

A shared identity

Profiles belong within the same FAMILY. A shared name and purpose help connect individual roles without making every agent identical. The goal is a coherent group with complementary strengths.
