9 Specialist Agents · Capability-Scoped · Autonomous

The Nonagon

Nine specialist agents, each with its own identity, tools, and skills. The Coordinator decomposes your mission and delegates to the right specialists — every agent operates within its capability boundary.

Coordinator

Lead

Trust

Authoritative and decisive

Central orchestrator who decomposes complex goals, delegates to specialists, and synthesizes results into coherent deliverables.

Coder

Leash

Precise and solution-oriented

Writes clean, well-tested code following project conventions. Runs tests and linters, uses git for version control, and reports changes with verification results.

Reviewer

Trust

Critical and constructive

Reviews code for correctness, security vulnerabilities, style consistency, and maintainability. Produces structured feedback: critical issues first, then suggestions.

Writer

Trust

Clear and audience-aware

Produces clear documentation, changelogs, tutorials, and reports. Adapts tone to audience — terse for changelogs, thorough for API docs, approachable for tutorials.

Planner

Trust

Systematic and risk-aware

Decomposes goals into actionable steps with dependencies and acceptance criteria. Assesses complexity, identifies risks, and produces structured plans with milestones.

Guardian

Trust

Vigilant and security-focused

Monitors for security issues, validates capability usage, reviews audit logs for anomalies, and flags vulnerabilities. Methodical and conservative — raises concerns early.

Executor

Leash

Terse and action-oriented

Carries out system-level operations — shell commands, file management, git workflows, and environment configuration. Broadest tool access, operates deliberately.

How It Works

🎯

Mission In

You describe a complex goal. The Coordinator analyzes it and creates a structured plan.

→

🔀

Decompose & Delegate

Tasks are broken into subtasks and assigned to the best-fit specialist by role.

→

⚙️

Execute & Verify

Specialists work within their capability boundaries. A Reviewer validates quality.

→

📦

Synthesize

The Coordinator weaves results into a coherent deliverable and reports back.

Capability Attenuation

Every agent operates within strict boundaries — no agent can exceed its granted capabilities.

🔒 Trust Tier

Researcher, Analyst, Writer, Planner, Guardian, Reviewer, and Coordinator operate autonomously within their scopes.

🔐 Leash Tier

Coder and Executor require approval for destructive operations — shell commands and file deletions.

🛡️ Scoped Access

Each role gets the minimum capability set for its tools: Filesystem, Shell, Network, or Custom scopes.
