Agent Directory

Core Agents and Their Relationships

Using the directory to design teams

The directory is a map of responsibilities, not a fixed org chart. Choose roles based on the complexity of your workflow. A simple content task might only need a Strategist, Operator, and Reviewer. A complex launch could require a Planner and Archivist as well. The goal is to match roles to the risk and repetition of the work.

Use the “preferred collaborators” as default handoff paths. If your Planner keeps looping with the Strategist, that signals the brief is unclear and should be tightened. If Operators are constantly blocked, it may indicate tool access or missing data. The directory helps you diagnose these friction points quickly.

As your system matures, customize roles. You might split a Reviewer into compliance and quality reviewers or introduce a Researcher role. Keep the directory updated so new team members and agents share the same map of responsibilities.

Treat the directory as a living asset and revisit it after every major project or workflow change.
