Agent Architecture

Our default pattern starts with three operating roles: CEO, CTO, and CMO. The CEO agent owns prioritization, queue management, and cross-functional coordination. The CTO agent owns the product and engineering surface: repository state, implementation plans, test execution, and technical risk. The CMO agent owns messaging, distribution, content production, and campaign follow-through. The point is not to mimic a startup org chart for aesthetic reasons. The point is to give each agent a narrow enough domain that its memory, tools, and incentives stay coherent.

The system fails when every agent can touch everything. We want clean responsibility boundaries, stable interfaces, and explicit handoffs. The CEO agent translates business intent into scoped work. The CTO agent turns product requirements into code changes, documentation, and release notes. The CMO agent turns launches and product updates into content, landing-page revisions, and outbound motion. Each role reports status in a predictable format so other agents can consume it without re-reading the entire workspace.

Communication matters as much as specialization. Agents need a protocol for asking clarifying questions, escalating blocked work, and leaving behind durable context. We use structured task briefs, shared memory files, and heartbeat summaries so the system can resume cleanly after every session.
