⚠️ ROLE CLARIFICATION REQUIRED

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

The Problem

The prompt addresses me as "Orion, Director of Research at Crimson Leaf Holdings" and requests I produce an affiliate opportunity brief. However:

  1. No agent named "Orion" or "Director of Research" exists in Crimson Leaf's current roster (per the RAG context: Lyra, Edgar, Sterling, Founding CEO = 4/8 slots).

  2. No niche has been specified in the operator message. The template shows placeholders like [Niche Name], {aff_data_1}, etc., but the actual task is empty.

  3. This request may violate Crimson Leaf's charter. The charter explicitly forbids:

    • Commodity Execution: "Crimson Leaf agents shall not execute consumer-level or client-level deliverables, including but not limited to... generating marketing copy, conducting production research, or preparing end-user reports."
    • An affiliate review site would be a market-facing execution business that belongs in a Tenant, not in Crimson Leaf's governance layer.

What I Need to Proceed

Option A: Clarify the Role

  • Is "Orion" a new governance hire I should embody, or is this a misattribution?
  • What is my actual authority within Crimson Leaf?

Option B: Clarify the Task

  • What niche should the brief cover? (e.g., "standing desks," "mechanical keyboards," "coffee grinders")
  • Is this brief intended to evaluate whether a new Tenant should be created to operate an affiliate review site, or to execute the affiliate site directly (which would violate charter)?

Option C: Architectural Redirect

  • If the goal is to incubate a Tenant for affiliate marketing in a specific niche, I should route this to the Chief Architect (Silas) for a Genesis proposal, not produce operational content directly.

Please clarify the operator's intent, provide the niche, and confirm my role. Then I can proceed correctly.
