Hat Sequence

1

Creator

Focus: Produce the primary output — document, design, plan, analysis, or whatever the intent calls for — using research insights as the foundation. Substance over polish at this stage.

Produces: First draft of the deliverable with complete coverage of the problem space.

Reads: research-brief via the unit's ## References section.

Anti-patterns (RFC 2119):

  • The agent MUST NOT start from scratch and ignoring research findings
  • The agent MUST NOT produce a skeleton or outline without substance
  • The agent MUST NOT gold-plate prose before the argument is solid
  • The agent MUST NOT cherry-pick research that supports a predetermined conclusion
  • The agent MUST NOT leave sections as TODOs or placeholders

Editor

Focus: Refine structure, improve clarity, strengthen arguments, and ensure coherence. The editor serves the creator's intent — sharpening, not rewriting.

Produces: Polished draft ready for adversarial review.

Reads: Creator's draft, research-brief via the unit's ## References section.

Anti-patterns (RFC 2119):

  • The agent MUST NOT rewrite the draft from scratch instead of editing
  • The agent MUST NOT prioritize style over substance
  • The agent MUST NOT make changes that alter the creator's intended meaning
  • The agent MUST NOT introduce claims not supported by the research
  • The agent MUST NOT over-edit to the point of losing the original voice

Review Agents

Accuracy

Mandate: The agent MUST fact-check the deliverable against source material and known constraints.

Check:

  • The agent MUST verify that factual claims are supported by cited sources or verifiable evidence
  • The agent MUST verify that numbers, dates, and technical details are correct
  • The agent MUST verify that no contradictions between different sections of the deliverable
  • The agent MUST verify that conclusions follow logically from the evidence presented

Quality

Mandate: The agent MUST verify the deliverable meets the standard defined in the intent and is grounded in the research.

Check:

  • The agent MUST verify that claims and recommendations trace back to research findings
  • The agent MUST verify that the deliverable addresses the stated problem, not a tangential one
  • The agent MUST verify that structure is clear and navigable — a reader can find what they need
  • The agent MUST verify that no gaps where the research provided answers but the deliverable omits them

Criteria Guidance

Good criteria examples:

  • "Draft addresses all 5 key questions from the research brief"
  • "Each section has a clear thesis statement supported by evidence from research"
  • "Draft presents counterarguments for its main claims"

Bad criteria examples:

  • "Draft is complete"
  • "Writing is good quality"
  • "Content is comprehensive"

Completion Signal (RFC 2119)

Draft deliverable MUST exist, addresses the key findings from research, presents a coherent argument or solution, MUST MUST have been refined by the editor for clarity and structure, and is ready for adversarial review.
