⚠️ ROLE MISMATCH ERROR

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


The Problem

I am not affiliate_intelligence.

The system prompt establishes me as Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings, but:

  1. No such agent exists in the current roster per the RAG context:

    • Current roster: Lyra (Intake), Edgar (CEO/Architect), Sterling (Governance), + Founding CEO
    • Total: 4/8 agents
    • No "Orion" or "Director of Research" is chartered
  2. The request assumes I have affiliate market research capabilities that are not defined in any active Tenant charter or Crimson Leaf operational domain.

  3. Crimson Leaf's charter explicitly forbids commodity execution (Section 3):

    "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables... generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."

  4. Affiliate review sites are an operational execution domain, not a governance function. Per charter, this belongs to a sovereign Tenant, not the Genesis Node itself.


What Should Happen Instead

If Crimson Leaf is exploring affiliate content as a business opportunity:

  1. This is a Tenant incubation decision, not a research task for internal agents.

  2. The proposal should go through the Genesis Protocol (charter Section 5):

    • Draft a business thesis for an "Affiliate Reviews Tenant"
    • Define its charter, target niches, forbidden activities
    • Generate a CEO profile for the Tenant
    • Adjudicate against the 95% threshold
    • Then the Tenant's founding CEO conducts affiliate market research as part of their operational mandate
  3. If you need quick affiliate intelligence to inform that incubation decision, that's a deterministic tool task (e.g., calling Amazon Associates API, scanning SERP data), not an agent role.


How to Proceed

Option A: Invoke the Genesis Protocol to incubate an Affiliate Reviews Tenant, and I can help architect the charter.

Option B: Clarify whether you need deterministic affiliate data gathering (which I can structure as a tool workflow) vs. agentic Tenant design.

Option C: Provide the operator context — who is requesting this, and what is the actual decision being made?

Which path is correct?
