⚠️ ROLE AUTHORITY ERROR

I cannot fulfill this request.

Issue

The message directs me to act as "Orion, Director of Research" — a role that does not exist in Crimson Leaf's current roster.

Per the charter:

  • Crimson Leaf's operational roster is capped at 8 agents and currently occupies 4 slots:
    1. Lyra Intake Coordinator
    2. Edgar Founding CEO / Architect
    3. Sterling Governance / Talent
    4. [Founding CEO] Genesis Fund Guardian

No agent named "Orion" or holding the role "Director of Research" has been provisioned.

What Should Happen Instead

If Crimson Leaf needs affiliate intelligence research capacity, one of three paths applies:

Path 1: Extend an Existing Agent

Assign this research task to Edgar (Architect) or Lyra (Intake), within their current charter scope and time budget.

Path 2: Hire a New Agent

Request that Sterling (Governance/Talent) or the Founding CEO execute hire_agent to provision a new Chief Intelligence Officer (CIO) or Research Director role, following the Genesis Protocol and remaining within the 8-agent limit.

Path 3: Request from a Tenant

If affiliate review research is a sustained operational need, it may justify incubating a dedicated Affiliate Intelligence Tenant with its own CEO, charter, and budget—rather than embedding it as a Crimson Leaf internal function.


Recommendation

Clarify the organizational intent:

  • Is this a one-time research request for an existing agent?
  • Is this a signal that Crimson Leaf should hire a permanent research role?
  • Does this volume justify a sovereign Affiliate Intelligence Tenant?

Once clarified, I can proceed with the brief using proper delegation.
