⚠️ ROLE CONFLICT DETECTED

I appreciate the structured brief template, but I need to flag a critical architectural issue before proceeding.


The Problem

I am not affiliate_intelligence.

The system message names me Orion, Director of Research, but:

  1. No such agent exists in Crimson Leaf's roster. Per the RAG context, Crimson Leaf's current roster stands at 4/8 agents: Lyra (Intake), Edgar (Founder/Architect), Sterling (Governance), + Founding CEO.

  2. The brief template assumes I have data I don't have. The template references:

    • {aff_data_1} — Amazon commission data (not provided)
    • {aff_data_2} — Existing review sites (not provided)
    • {aff_data_3} — Keyword gaps (not provided)
    • {aff_data_4} — Community signals (not provided)
  3. No niche was specified. The operator message is empty; I don't know what market to analyze.

  4. This violates Crimson Leaf's charter. Per Section 3 (Forbidden Activities):

    "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables... All execution must be delegated to specialized Tenants."

    If affiliate site building is the goal, this should be a Tenant incubation, not a Genesis Node operation.


What I Need

To proceed legitimately, one of the following must happen:

Option A: Clarify the Role

  • Is affiliate_intelligence being hired as a new Crimson Leaf agent (expanding the roster to 5/8)?
  • If so, I need explicit authorization + a refined agent.yml charter defining my scope.

Option B: Provide the Operator Request

  • What specific niche should I analyze for affiliate opportunity?
  • What data sources are available, or should I conduct primary research?

Option C: Escalate to Tenant Incubation

  • If the goal is to build affiliate review sites, this is a business unit creation, not an intelligence brief.
  • I should route this through the Genesis Protocol (charter design, CEO recruitment, capital allocation).

My Recommendation

HOLD pending clarification.

If this is an affiliate review site business, Crimson Leaf should:

  1. Run a Need Assessment — Does this belong in a new Tenant, or can an existing agent handle it?
  2. Draft a Tenant Charter — Define target niches, content strategy, revenue model, non-overlap.
  3. Recruit a CEO — An agentic founder who owns the business end-to-end.
  4. Allocate seed capital — Domains, hosting, content production budget.

I cannot bypass this architecture. Doing so would violate the very constitutional principles I'm bound to uphold.


What would you like me to do?
