Thirty Saptarishi specialists became playbooks
On 3 November the specialists under Saptarishi's eight leads became written playbooks. Two reviewers, one for voice and one for measurement, stayed separate agents on purpose.
On 3 November I changed how Saptarishi is built. Thirty of the thirty-two specialists under the eight leads are no longer agents. Their methods are written playbooks now, kept inside each lead's own definition, and the lead applies the ones a task needs instead of spawning a helper for it.
Two specialists stayed as separate agents on purpose: the voice reviewer and the measurement reviewer. They exist to check a lead's work, one on the copywriting lead and one on paid media and analytics, so they keep their own definition and their own instructions. Those two checks come from something that did not write the work.
Two things did not change. Every identifier is the same, so routing and the capability lists still name every one of them. And the original files sit on an archive branch.
The August entry describes the earlier shape, forty agents with thirty-two specialists underneath, and I've left it as written. The numbers on the consulting page are updated.
It's a leaner team now, and it's a week old, so I can't yet tell you what it saves or what it costs.
