Part of the ALPHA suite
ALPHA Agents · Delegate
Delegation with the leash attached.
Hand well-defined tasks to specialist agents that act only within role-scoped permissions. Every action is attributable, consequential steps wait for your confirmation, and any agent can be paused or revoked.
Roster pattern
Four archetypes, each with a lane.
Agents are assigned by role, not by personality. Each archetype carries a narrow grant, a stated approval line, and a readable record.
-
Role · Build
Builder
Drafts and edits inside a Studio workspace: new pages, revised flows, corrected content. Proposes changes for your review; applies nothing consequential without approval.
Typical grants: workspace files under review, preview runs. Asks approval before: applying edits outside the brief, publishing, sharing.
-
Role · Review
Reviewer
Checks work prepared by others — people, builders, or runs: consistency, scope fit, declared permissions. Reports findings with references to the exact change under review.
Typical grants: read access to the change set and its record. Asks approval before: altering the work itself, widening the review scope.
-
Role · Investigate
Researcher
Gathers and organizes material for a DeepResearcher brief: sources with provenance, comparison of viewpoints, uncertainty marked. Cites origins; never invents them.
Typical grants: stated sources and workspace notes. Asks approval before: contacting anyone, publishing findings, expanding the question.
-
Role · Operate
Operator
Carries out the declared steps of an automation run: filing, staging drafts, preparing notifications. Holds at every approval gate for a person to decide.
Typical grants: the run's declared tools and fields. Asks approval before: sending, deleting, sharing, spending, or changing the run itself.
How delegation works
Define the assignment, keep the decision.
You state the task, the limits, and the stop conditions. The agent works inside that grant and returns with its record — proposed, cited, and staged for your confirmation.
- Task, scope, and stop conditions declared up front
- Work staged for review, never applied silently
- Record kept per assignment for later audit
Consequential steps
A person confirms what matters.
Sending, publishing, deleting, sharing, granting access, and spending always hold for human confirmation. The request is written to be understood in seconds: what is asked, in which workspace, with what scope, and how to undo it.
Try the discipline

Permission model
Scoped roles, attributable actions.
The model is deliberately narrow. Read the philosophy for the control-first reasoning behind it.
- Role-scoped permissionsEach assignment grants the minimum files, tools, network, and time its role needs — bounded per task, never carried over silently to the next one.
- Every action attributableActions are logged to the acting assignment as they occur: who authorized it, what was done, in which workspace, and under which grant.
- Human confirms consequential stepsAnything that sends, publishes, deletes, shares, or spends waits for explicit approval. Denials are recorded alongside grants.
- Stoppable and revocablePause or revoke any assignment from its record. Revocation ends the grant immediately; the record remains for review.

- Runs + MachinesOperators follow ALPHA Automations playbooks on ALPHA Computers.
- ResearchResearchers gather under ALPHA DeepResearcher rules: sources shown, uncertainty marked.
Control commitments
No unlogged agents, ever.
This is the suite's standing refusal, applied to every assignment. Read the philosophy for the full list of what we will not build.
-
01
Human in command
Agents propose, draft, gather, and organize. A person approves anything consequential — and can redirect or stop the work at any point.
-
02
Contained by design
Single-active workspaces with permission jails. No silent scope expansion: anything outside the grant needs a new approval.
-
03
Auditable always
Grants, actions, approvals, and denials recorded in readable language, so any outcome can be reconstructed and reviewed.
