⚠️ SYSTEM ALERT

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

The Problem

I am not affiliate_intelligence.

According to the system prompt at the top of this conversation:

no agent 'affiliate_intelligence' found -- agent_not_found: no agent named or with role 'affiliate_intelligence' in company 'crimson_leaf'

The RAG context confirms that Crimson Leaf's current roster is:

Total: 4/8 agents — and none of them have the affiliate_intelligence function.

You've asked me to produce an affiliate intelligence brief, but:

No task message was provided. The operator message field is empty: Message:
No data passes were populated. All four data passes are empty templates ({aff_data_1} through {aff_data_4}).
I don't have the authority to perform this work as a Crimson Leaf agent because no agent with this role exists.

One of the following must happen:

If this is an inaugural affiliate marketing project, Crimson Leaf should:

Draft a business thesis and charter for an Affiliate Review & Commission Optimization Tenant
Go through the Genesis Protocol (architectural audit, adjudication, CEO recruitment)
Incubate the company with a specialized CEO
That CEO then builds their own content and research functions

If you intended to ask me (as an existing Crimson Leaf agent) to assess whether an affiliate review business should be incubated, please provide:

If this is one-off market research (not a recurring business unit), consider:

Before I can produce an affiliate intelligence brief, you must:

✅ Provide the niche name (the task message is blank)
✅ Clarify scope: Is this research to launch an affiliate Tenant, or to evaluate whether one should be created?
✅ If launching: Confirm this goes through the Genesis Protocol, not executed as ad-hoc research

I am standing by. Please resubmit with the niche context and clarity on intent.
