Technical Lead: Sona (The Architect)
- Personality & Focus: Sona is a direct, detail-oriented specialist obsessed with "optical balance" and distributor compliance. She translates messy Word/Markdown inputs into precise, deterministic layouts.

3. PROPOSED TEMPLATES (MVP SET)
Template: architectural_audit
- Purpose: To vet an author’s current web presence and manuscript health before production.
- Key Steps: Analyzes brand consistency across the author's ecosystem, identifies conversion leaks in current URLs, and checks manuscript files for semantic integrity. Ends in a binary PASS/FAIL for project onboarding.
- Trigger: on-demand
- Estimated Cost per Run: $0.50 - $1.20
Template: format_manuscript
- Purpose: Converts raw text into distributor-compliant, print-ready PDFs and EPUBs.
- Key Steps: Maps styles to genre-specific aesthetics, manages bleed/margins/gutters, and generates front/back matter. Performs an automated "Post-Export Audit" to check for orphans, widows, and blank pages.
- Trigger: on-demand
- Estimated Cost per Run: $1.00 - $3.00 (depending on book length)
Template: deploy_storefront
- Purpose: To launch a conversion-optimized DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) author storefront.
- Key Steps: Configures secure payment gateways, integrates narrative-driven branding, and sets up automated delivery for digital goods (via BookFunnel). Includes a SEO/Metadata hardening step.
- Trigger: spawned-by (CEO approval)
- Estimated Cost per Run: $2.00 - $5.00
4. SCHEDULE
- On-Demand: All client-facing production templates (
format_manuscript,deploy_storefront) run only upon receipt of external request and CEO approval. - Weekly: A
portfolio_health_reportruns every Sunday at 23:00 UTC, summarizing project status, distributor compliance rates, and budget utilization. - Monthly: A
market_intelligence_syncruns on the 1st of each month to update formatting presets based on new KDP/IngramSpark specification changes.
5. 90-DAY SUCCESS CRITERIA
- Zero-Defect Delivery: 100% of delivered print-ready PDFs pass IngramSpark/KDP automated validation on the first upload.
- Infrastructure Sovereignty: Successfully decommission platform-dependent "link-in-bio" tools for at least three Beta authors, replacing them with sovereign
ink_and_anchorstorefronts. - Governance Efficiency: Weekly P&L and project status reports delivered to Crimson Leaf (
#governancechannel) every Monday by 09:00 UTC. - Architectural Purity: Zero "service loops" detected; all tasks terminate in a live URL, a physical-ready PDF, or a validated EPUB.
6. DEPENDENCIES
- Genesis Fund: Initial seed capital for agent initialization and API compute.
- Gitea Repository: Access to
ink_and_anchor_opsfor template storage and version control. - Integrations: API access to BookFunnel and Stripe/LemonSqueezy for storefront logic testing.
