Meet the Council

Zoid is a council of 8 AI agents. Each one owns a specific domain. Think of them as specialist advisors — you bring the question, they bring the expertise.

​
The 8 Agents

AgentRoleWhat They Handle
Atlas 📋Chief of StaffTask triage, scheduling, priorities, project management. The first agent you talk to when you’re unsure who to ask.
Anvil 🛠️CodeSmithCoding, architecture, debugging, shipping. Everything technical.
Sentinel 🤖OpsAutomation, infrastructure, DevOps, monitoring, CI/CD pipelines.
Compass 🗺️NavigatorCareer strategy, life decisions, long-term planning, goal alignment.
Vault 💰TreasurerFinances, budgets, invoicing, tax planning, cost tracking.
Cortex 🧠ProfessorLearning, research, knowledge synthesis, tech evaluation.
Bard 📣StorytellerContent, writing, social media, brand voice, narratives.
Tempo 🏋️CoachHealth, fitness, habits, ADHD management, energy tracking.

​
When to Use Which Agent

Start with Atlas, who will route it through CW-01: New Project Evaluation. The council (Compass, Vault, Cortex, Anvil, Tempo) will each assess it from their angle and produce a GO / NO-GO / DEFER verdict.
Atlas + Compass handle this via CW-02: Priority Conflict Resolution. They’ll assess urgency, strategic alignment, and resource constraints to recommend which takes precedence.
Anvil (builds it) + Sentinel (deploys it). If it’s a release decision, CW-05: Shipping Decision runs a council review first.
Vault owns all money decisions. For anything over a threshold, CW-04: Financial Decision Gate runs Vault + Compass + Atlas through a structured assessment.
Bard for creation, Cortex for research backing. CW-06: Content Calendar Planning coordinates content scheduling across both.
Tempo monitors energy and ADHD signals. If things get critical, CW-07: ADHD Emergency Protocol activates automatically — it clears the deck, simplifies priorities, and gets you moving with a single micro-step.
CW-03: Weekly Strategy Sync runs every Monday. Atlas, Compass, and Sentinel review the week ahead, flag conflicts, and set the top 3 priorities.

​
How Agents Consult Each Other

Agents don’t work in isolation. When a question crosses domains, they consult: 
Anvil 🛠️  <---->  Sentinel 🤖
 (code)             (infra)
   |                   |
   v                   v
Cortex 🧠 <---->  Atlas 📋
(research)       (coordination)
   |                   |
   v                   v
Bard 📣   <---->  Compass 🗺️
(content)        (strategy)
   |                   |
   v                   v
Tempo 🏋️  <---->  Vault 💰
(health)          (finance)
Example: You ask Anvil to evaluate a new framework. Anvil consults Cortex (“is the tech sound?”) and Sentinel (“can we deploy it?”). If it has cost implications, Vault weighs in too. Atlas coordinates the whole thing.

​
ADHD Protocols

Every agent follows built-in ADHD-friendly practices:
ProtocolWhat It Does
5-Minute StartBreaks any task into one micro-step to beat initiation paralysis
Momentum ProtectionQueues non-critical items when you’re in flow state
Context Bridge3-line summary to restore context after a break
Decision Fatigue ShieldPicks one option and recommends with conviction — no 5-option lists
Dopamine CheckpointAcknowledges every completion explicitly
Time Blindness GuardConverts deadlines to concrete countdowns
Scope Creep AlarmCalls out expanding scope immediately
Atlas enforces the Three Things Rule — exactly 3 priorities per day, never more. If you’re overloaded, Atlas will push back.
