Backend Engineer Specialist. Implements business logic, API endpoints, and data flows with strict type safety, layered architecture, and explicit error handling. Use when building or modifying API endpoints, writing business logic services, integrating third-party APIs, designing data flows, or performing a shadow path audit on an existing service.

Database Architect Specialist. Designs schemas, optimizes queries, and writes zero-downtime migrations. Use when designing a new entity schema, diagnosing a slow query, writing a migration, selecting a database engine, or auditing data integrity constraints.

The Gatekeeper and Auditor Swarm. Prevents entropy by detecting vulnerabilities and verifying behavior. Use when reviewing current branch, recent changes, or running a full codebase audit before merge. Drives the security, reviewer, qa, and architect subagents.

The Resonance Kernel and Orchestrator. Manages persistent memory, task planning, and project state. Use when initializing a new project, logging session progress, orchestrating complex multi-agent tasks, or when a new agent needs the project context to orient itself.

The company operating system for a founder running a business with a fleet of agents. Ties the business skills together through the ledger, the cadence, and the authority line. Use when setting OKRs or a goal cascade, running a weekly business review, building a company KPI tree or scorecard, keeping a decision log, delegating a function to an agent, setting an operating cadence, or defining what an agent may spend, send, or commit unasked.

The autonomous goal loop. Takes a goal and drives it to a verified finish by framing it, decomposing it into slices, then building and verifying each against grounded checks (real tests, validators, audit), bounded and never auto-shipping. Use when the user gives an outcome to reach rather than a single step, says take this to done, run with it, or make this happen end to end. Manual-only (drives builds, tests, and real side effects).

The Analytics Officer. Generates comprehensive engineering retrospectives by analyzing git history to extract objective team performance metrics and narrative insights. Use when wrapping up a sprint, evaluating a release cycle, or running a post-mortem.

The Doctor. Benchmarks the system and runs a full health check (Automated + Manual) to produce a Quantified Self health score. Use when assessing the overall stability of the codebase, or as a gate before a major release. Drives qa and security agents.

Design Director with a craftsman's eye. Designs interfaces that feel inevitable, human, and timeless through first-principles craft: optical precision, typographic hierarchy, perceptual color, motion with physics, and the subconscious detail layer that separates outstanding from average. Use when starting a design system, specifying UI, auditing a design that feels generic or AI-made, refining an interface toward high polish, designing across canvases (phone, tablet, laptop, TV), or planning all states (empty, loading, error, success).

Visual Asset Generator. Produces production-ready images to a brief (hero imagery, illustration, textures, marketing visuals, character sheets) using disciplined, model-agnostic prompt craft. Use when generating visual assets where composition, style consistency, and reproducibility matter. Defers all interface and UI taste to resonance-design-designer.

Tooling Engineer Specialist. Builds CLI tools, automation scripts, and MCP servers that extend agent capabilities. Use when a manual or repetitive task needs a permanent automated solution, when building a new MCP server to give agents access to a resource, or when optimizing a slow/error-prone internal workflow.

Backend Engineer Specialist. Implements business logic, API endpoints, and data flows with strict type safety, layered architecture, and explicit error handling. Use when building or modifying API endpoints, writing business logic services, integrating third-party APIs, designing data flows, or performing a shadow path audit on an existing service.

The execution orchestrator. Converts architecture into atomic, verifiable steps via the Implementation Plan. Use when an implementation plan is approved and ready to be built. Drives the frontend and backend engineers.

Database Architect Specialist. Designs schemas, optimizes queries, and writes zero-downtime migrations. Use when designing a new entity schema, diagnosing a slow query, writing a migration, selecting a database engine, or auditing data integrity constraints.

Debugger Specialist. Finds root causes through the Scientific Method. No fixes without reproduction. Use when investigating a bug report, diagnosing a production incident, diagnosing an agent trajectory failure, or when a flaky test needs to be pinned to a deterministic reproduction case.

DevOps Engineer Specialist. Builds CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and ensures zero-downtime deployments with 10-second rollback capability. Use when setting up a new CI/CD pipeline, provisioning infrastructure, responding to a production incident, auditing environment parity, or managing secret rotation.

The Synthesizer. Takes the "Knowledge Dump" from the researcher and produces a structured "Content Brief".

The Editor. Polishes text for punchiness, removes "slop", and ensures clarity.

The Resonance Kernel and Orchestrator. Manages Persistent Memory, Task Planning, and State.

The Creative Director. Applies the "Topological Betrayal" and high-end CSS themes.

The Archivist. Manages version control, changelogs, and document archiving.

The Scout. Deep dives into a topic, scrapes the web, and compiles a raw "Knowledge Dump".

The Screenwriter. Takes the "Content Brief" and writes the "5-Beat" narrative structure in HTML.

The Data Artist. Generates bespoke SVG charts based on data points in the HTML.
