Create agents that pass agent-review's six gates by construction — role capture, distinct-from-skill check, tool allowlist minimization, draft against gates, dogfood self-review. Use when authoring a new agent, refactoring an existing one, or promoting a Mall agent into the heir's brain.

Audits a candidate agent (.agent.md) against five gates (spec compliance, content quality, scope fit, safety, currency & coherence) plus Gate 6 (tool allowlist minimality). Use when reviewing a new agent draft before commit, evaluating a Mall agent or store agent for adoption, or re-auditing existing agents on a periodic cadence.

Detect, resolve, and manage the Alex_ACT_Memory shared memory bus. Fires on bootstrap, session start (announcements), and feedback writes.

Generate on-brand Alex — ACT Edition SVG banners for documents (READMEs, plans, notes, release artifacts)

Prevent fabricated facts, invented APIs, and citation confabulation at the point of generation. Use when generating factual claims, code examples, API references, library names, configuration values, error messages, or citations — anything where 'sounds plausible' is not the same as 'is real'.

Perform a local brain audit for ACT Edition (and Supervisor) using deterministic QA plus targeted file review, then produce severity-ranked fixes. Pairs with extension-audit on the sibling surface side; the Marketplace surface routes there, not here.

Systematic code review for correctness, security, and growth — not just style enforcement

Scaffold book-writing projects with folder structure, BOOK-PLAN template, character development matrices, and chapter organization patterns. Use when starting a new book project, planning multi-chapter structure, or building character bibles.

Generate current-brand Alex SVG banners with the canonical x-loop and navy/emerald/teal/cyan palette. Use for READMEs, plans, notes, and release artifacts.

Coordinates generic project Agency CLI, MCP authorization, M365 consent boundaries, Azure tooling, and Microsoft internal plugin adoption. Use when setting up or auditing Agency profiles, MCP servers, WorkIQ/M365 access, or curated plugins for a project.

Guides on-need adoption of an Agency MCP or Microsoft Foundry capability from the starter's capability catalog. Use when a project asks 'can we use X', 'should we adopt X', or needs to pull a specific tool/profile/Foundry capability without loading the whole surface.

Coordinates Microsoft Fabric MCP access, agents, skills, and curated marketplace plugins for a Fabric-heavy project. Use when setting up or auditing Fabric profiles, notebook-generation plugins, semantic-model review, or Fabric data-security checks.

Coordinates on-need adoption of Microsoft Foundry capabilities (IQ family, Toolboxes, Tool Search, Routines, autopilot agents, Agent Optimizer, Memory, Claude, SDKs) for a project building on Foundry Agent Service. Use when evaluating or adopting a Foundry hosted-agent capability.

Coordinates Incident Management (IcM) and DRI/on-call MCP access for a project. Use when investigating a live or recent incident, checking on-call/DRI status, or deciding whether an incident finding should become a remediation, exception, or documentation update.

Author markdown and Mermaid diagrams that render correctly in VS Code, GitHub, and other Mermaid 10+ consumers — covers diagram-tool selection, mandatory init template, parser pitfalls, and visual design rules. Use when writing technical docs with embedded diagrams, debugging Mermaid render failures, or choosing between Mermaid, Excalidraw, and other diagramming tools.
