Organization
The Barneys join the crew
Disposable worker agents provide bounded parallel capacity beneath accountable specialist agents.
PROJECT / 04Agent organization
Merry Band
Can a portable crew of specialized agents work as a disciplined organization rather than a prompt-shaped blob?
A reusable collection of roles, skills, handoff contracts, review gates, and occasionally argumentative personalities.
01
Working thesis
Why this project exists
Specialized agents become an organization only when roles, ownership, evidence, review, escalation, and recovery are designed as carefully as prompts and tools.

Architecture
The crew becomes a graph
Handoffs, gates, ownership, and failure routes become first-class structure.
