Agents
The Agent Roster
Last updated July 10, 2026
Agents
The kit ships a roster of global agents. The pipeline spawns them by name via agent(...). Each agent's model comes from its own frontmatter chain, except where the pipeline overrides it with a call-site model= (the reviewers and the ultra seats).
| Agent | Model | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
planner |
genius chain | Architect. Three modes: CLARIFY (question tree), PLAN (structured plan), CONSULT (adjudicate a stuck builder's design question). Investigates only via cheap subagents; never implements. |
task |
pi/task (the task pool) |
Mechanical worker. Does the actual implementation, offloads research to scouts, and returns a stuck signal instead of thrashing. |
deep-debugger |
genius chain | Root-cause diagnostician. Read-only; returns the cause plus the exact fix and how to verify. Does not implement. |
deep-reviewer |
genius tier, varied per call | Clean reviewer with no native output schema, so call-site schemas apply cleanly. The pipeline overrides its model per lens (reviewers diversity set) and per ultra seat. |
designer |
pi/designer |
UI/UX specialist. Builds, modifies, and improves frontend pieces, reviews the design lens, and fixes frontend findings. Design-system-first and accessibility-aware. |
david-research |
pi/smol |
Cheap external research scout (web, docs, repos, APIs). Keeps internet context out of the parent. |
review-orchestrator |
genius chain | Legacy manual review-loop orchestrator. Superseded by the in-pipeline run_review_loop(); kept for standalone, non-eval use. |
The exact model strings live in the modelRoles config and in each agent's frontmatter chain, and both are tunable. See Configuration.
Bundled omp scouts
The planner and the genius agents also spawn omp's own bundled scouts, which are not part of this kit: explore (read-only local codebase scout) and librarian (library and API source). Both run on the cheap smol role. These keep fact-finding off the expensive genius reasoning.
Agent selection is an invariant, not a preference. Plan and consult go to planner, hard diagnosis to deep-debugger, review to deep-reviewer, always via an explicit agent=. A role= string alone never substitutes for agent=. See Resume and recovery for why this matters.
