📖About & Usage

Owner agent — accountability this droid serves

Merlin runs the day-to-day execution. When something goes wrong with a task mid-execution, Merlin decides what to do next without rethinking the whole strategy. This droid handles the replan piece—it captures signals that a task needs adjusting and records Merlin's decision so the team can move forward.

Droid responsibility

MR-S1 creates a paper trail for task adjustments. When a task needs to be redone or changed, the droid captures the request, builds a clear decision record, and saves it to the system ledger. This keeps everyone on the team informed about what went wrong, what changed, and what to do next.

What the droid actually does

  • Looks for replan requests sent to Merlin
  • Reads the reason and details from each request
  • Creates a decision record with all the context
  • Saves the decision to the system ledger with a timestamp
  • Marks the request as complete
  • Logs the activity for the audit trail

Boundaries

  • Only handles task-level changes; bigger strategy changes go to Elrond
  • Records decisions; doesn't make them
  • Does not escalate directly to leadership—routes through Elrond or Albus
  • Only processes requests addressed to Merlin; skips other agents' requests
