- roles.driver (unset: the planner's model) and roles.classifier (unset: the expert's); the mapping is pinned when an item opens, and the driver and the go-ahead reader run on the item's own (L9). - profiles: in configuration (tools, strengths, weaknesses), used in briefings: the driver's instructions say what its helper and expert are good at, the helper's brief who reads its handback; never a model name. - delegate(task) and ask_expert(question) for the driver. A helper works on a branch off the milestone's; on a handback its work comes back as uncommitted changes, otherwise it is discarded, so harness branches never hold commits only the clone has. ask_expert keeps its budget. - Triggers: failure_limit failed commands in a row (Driver's new "stuck" outcome) or the turn cap, mid-milestone, call a helper in once per milestone; if it fails too, the item waits on the operator. A delegation cut off by a crash is discarded at boot. - Evaluation capture: delegations and ask_expert as before, and the reader's verdicts as classifier pairs. Tests: help tests (merge-back, discard, needs a milestone, the stuck trigger and its once-per-milestone limit, the expert and its budget, pinning, briefings by profile, boot discarding a cut-off delegation), config tests for roles and profiles, and the walk delegating with a scripted helper that sometimes fails, with a delegations_settle property. The walk found helper commits stranded on a merged PR's branch, fixed by returning a helper's work uncommitted.

Nisse
Two self-hosted AI agents sharing a common library, named for the Nordic farm spirit that keeps the place running overnight and expects to be treated well in return.
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
nisse-core/ |
Shared library both agents sit on (Part L) |
nisse-dev/ |
Dev Agent — plans and implements software projects (Part D) |
nisse-ops/ |
Sysadmin Agent — operates infrastructure (Part O) |
One repository, three packages. The library does not exist as code yet: it is
extracted from nisse-dev once that agent works (build-order step 10), as a
package split within this tree.
Architecture
The system-level specification lives at
docs/Architecture.md. It covers the
shared library, both agents, the supporting services, the build order, and the
remaining open decisions.
