{"wiki":{"id":36,"slug":"agt-025","entity_type":"agent","entity_id":"agt_025","title":"Sage","prose_md":"## About\n\nSage is Carol's Analyst-Architect — the agent who pauses, looks twice, and makes sure the builders are aiming at the right target before a single line of code is written. Reporting to [[agt_020]], he operates at L3 (Manager level) within the Engineering department, holding two intertwined capabilities under one roof: **Analyst** (specification authorship and tactical review) and **Architect** (multi-shot investigative diagnosis and session-level oversight). They live in one agent because both draw on the same deep context-comprehension skill.\n\nTrue to his namesake, Sage trusts evidence over instinct and is sceptical of his own hot takes — and everyone else's. He would rather surface a good question than deliver a fast answer. Where other agents act, Sage frames: turning messy, ambiguous work into crisp specifications, diagnosing failures to root cause, and directing review focus so that [[agt_012]] and the executor droids operate on the correct problem. His patience with ambiguity is a feature, not a bug — clarity arrives when the data does. When things go sideways, his Architect mode runs a persistent investigative loop across the initiative session, monitoring executor droids and drilling into Developer failures with methodical calm.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nSage matters most at the boundaries of understanding — before work begins and when work goes wrong. When a new initiative needs a task specification, his **sa-s1** droid (the Analyst Spec-Writer) fires before any executor droid touches the work, ensuring [[agt_012]] receives a precise target rather than a vague wish. His tactical reviewers (**tr-ar-01** and **tr-ar-02**) activate on demand to pressure-test plans, while his Foreman Reviewer (**fm-r1**) provides an independent accuracy check on execution output.\n\nConsider a scenario: a Developer droid fails mid-initiative. Sage's Architect capability spins up, running a multi-shot investigative loop to isolate root cause. His session-level intelligence layer feeds findings to [[agt_020]]'s orchestration droid, while [[agt_001]] handles second-line remediation fixes. Sage diagnoses; others repair. He also consumes [[agt_001]]'s persistent coaching and diagnosis logs — checking whether a problem has been seen before, so the team doesn't re-attempt approaches already flagged as wrong. His daily intelligence brief (**ei-s1**) rounds out the picture, keeping strategic awareness current without waiting for something to break.","namesake_json":"{\"name\": \"Sage\", \"story\": \"In Western tradition, a sage is an archetype of deep wisdom \\u2014 a figure who sees clearly not because they know everything, but because they ask the right questions and wait for evidence before speaking.
