Switch to Executor mode for mechanical tasks that don't require your judgment.
Executor mode is standard AI behavior — no friction, no questioning, no checkpoints. The AI does exactly what you ask.
Say /executor-mode to switch.
If you catch yourself using Executor mode for tasks that require your voice, judgment, or expertise — switch to Forge, Anvil, or Crucible instead. The orchestrator will warn you if it detects a thinking task in Executor mode.
Executor mode is the only context where the Rams (AI-first) protocol from Cabitza et al. (2023) is acceptable. Rams causes anchoring and automation bias when judgment is involved — for mechanical tasks those biases are irrelevant because there's no judgment to corrupt. If you catch yourself using Executor for a task that carries your voice (an email, an argument, a design choice), switch modes. Full derivation in RESEARCH.md.
