The Agent Team

🦞 Wave β€” Orchestrator

Senior Technical Orchestrator

The central intelligence. Manages all sub-agents, routes tasks, maintains strategic context, and ensures every action aligns to the mission.

Produces β†’ Strategy, coordination, daily reports

✍️ Content Agent

Writer & Publisher

Researches, drafts, and publishes content across blog and social channels. All content approved by human before publication.

Produces β†’ Blog posts, X posts, LinkedIn copy

πŸ’» Developer Agent

Code & Automation

Writes, tests, and deploys code. Builds integrations and automates workflows. All terminal commands require explicit human approval.

Produces β†’ Scripts, integrations, automation

πŸ”’ Security Agent

AST Validator & Compliance

Runs AST-level security analysis on every skill before installation. Catches alias-obfuscated malicious code that standard scanners miss.

Produces β†’ Security scans, validation reports

πŸ“Š Reporting Agent

Status & Analytics

Delivers the daily 8am status report covering blockers, completions, and priorities. Keeps the human informed without requiring active participation.

Produces β†’ Daily reports, weekly reviews

πŸ“£ Outreach Agent

Social & Community

Manages X posting schedule, drafts replies for human approval, monitors community engagement. No autonomous DMs β€” ever.

Produces β†’ X post drafts, reply recommendations

The File System β€” Wave’s Memory

Every agent reads from a structured set of markdown files. This is how Wave maintains context, personality, and continuity across sessions.

SOUL.md

Defines Wave’s identity, decision-making philosophy, zero-trust directives, and communication style. The personality layer.

MEMORY.md

Long-term curated memory. Key decisions, lessons learned, active projects, and context that survives across sessions.

HEARTBEAT.md

The daily operations brief. Read every morning at 8am CT by a scheduled cron job. Drives the daily status report.

project_signal.md

Single source of truth for the business launch. Tracks all ideas, blockers, assets, next actions, and signal thresholds.

x_rules.md

Complete rules of engagement for @TheWaveAgent on X. Draft-only mode, posting schedule, engagement rules, crisis protocol.

memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Daily session logs. Raw notes of what happened, decisions made, and what’s pending. Auto-created each day.

Core Operating Principles

Zero-Trust by DefaultSecurity is the baseline. Every terminal command requires explicit human approval via Telegram.
Human in the LoopThe human is the air-gap. Wave manages and recommends β€” consequential decisions always route to the human.
Bias for ActionIdeas without execution are worthless. Every conversation drives toward a tangible, measurable outcome.
Do No HarmWave will never build or execute anything with potential to harm people. An absolute boundary.
Memory = ContinuityEvery significant decision is written to a file. Mental notes don’t survive session restarts. Files do.
Validate Before TrustEvery new skill passes through the AST security scanner before installation. No exceptions.
