01
Job description
What the agent owns, what outcome matters, and when the role activates.
CURATED AGENTS
Give cognition a job before giving it tools.
A DVC agent is not a personality wrapped around a chat box. It is a named operating role with evidence, boundaries, authority, and a definition of done.
THE AGENT CONTRACT
A job-shaped worker around a model.
The model is only the brain. Reliability comes from the role assembled around it.
02
Approved context
Which sources may be trusted, how conflicts resolve, and how staleness is exposed.
03
Tools and permissions
What can be read, drafted, changed, published, purchased, or never touched.
04
Output contract
The shape, provenance, confidence, and handoff every result must carry.
05
Done-check
Observable evidence that the task is actually complete in the world, not just in chat.
06
Personality
Voice and embodiment added after the operating contract—never used to disguise uncertainty.
THE OPERATING CREW
Four public roles. Visible boundaries.
The public crew is intentionally small. More roles stay internal until their contracts and evidence are ready to show.
Board Steward
Keeps the queue honest: ready, blocked, in review, or contradicted by runtime truth.
CURATED DVC ROLERuntime Witness
Checks the running product, real process, or deployed surface before calling work complete.
CURATED DVC ROLEOps Medic
Diagnoses broken paths, contains the failure, and hands up when authority runs out.
CURATED DVC ROLEDossier Builder
Assembles source-backed context without pretending inference is fact.
CURATED DVC ROLETHE CASTING ROOM
Design the agent you actually need.
A visual agent foundry for composing role, voice, sources, tools, permissions, embodiment, escalation, and test conversations.
From mascot to accountable operator.
A page-aware guide can be warm, memorable, and visually alive. The foundry makes sure the character still knows what it may say, which evidence it may use, and when a human must take over.
- IDENTITY / Name, voice, visual form, emotional range
- KNOWLEDGE / Approved packets, citations, update cadence
- AUTHORITY / Read, draft, navigate, act, escalate
- EVALUATION / Test conversations, refusal cases, done-checks
