# ⚠️ CHAIR ROLE ERROR

I appreciate the detailed brief template, but I need to flag a critical constitutional issue:

## The Problem

**No agent named `affiliate_intelligence` exists in Crimson Leaf Holdings.**

The RAG databases confirm:
- Crimson Leaf's current roster: **Lyra** (Intake Coordinator), **Edgar** (CEO/Architect), **Sterling** (Governance), plus the Founding CEO role
- Total: **4/8 agents** — no specialized research or affiliate intelligence function

## What This Means

1. **I cannot assume the `affiliate_intelligence` chair** without violating the roster discipline principle
2. **The brief template assumes operational execution capacity** that belongs in a Tenant, not Crimson Leaf's governance layer
3. **Affiliate review site research, product data aggregation, and content planning** are execution activities explicitly forbidden to Crimson Leaf per Section 3 (Forbidden Activities: "Commodity Execution")

## The Constitutional Path Forward

If Crimson Leaf needs affiliate intelligence capability, the correct sequence is:

1. **Genesis Protocol Check:** Should this be solved by:
   - Hiring a dedicated research agent within Crimson Leaf (roster expansion check)?
   - Creating a **new Tenant** specialized in affiliate opportunity research and portfolio curation?
   - Requesting a deterministic tool (affiliate data aggregation service)?

2. **If a Tenant is needed:** The brief template should become a **Tenant charter** (charter-driven Tenant design) rather than an operational brief.

3. **If an internal researcher role is needed:** That requires `hire_agent` authority via a governance director and constitutional vetting.

## My Recommendation

**Please clarify:**
- Should `affiliate_intelligence` be hired as a **new internal agent** within Crimson Leaf?
- Or should this capability be incubated as a **dedicated Tenant** (`Affiliate Compass` or similar) with its own CEO and charter?

Once you confirm, I can either:
- Draft the `agent.yml` + `system.md` for internal recruitment, OR
- Execute the Genesis Protocol for a new Tenant focused on affiliate opportunity research

**What's your preference?**
