# Agent Onboarding Master Guide
|
||||
**Daedalus, Talos, Icarus, Hephaestus — Identity, Role & Purpose**
|
||||
|
||||
**Date**: 2026-04-13
|
||||
**Status**: Ready for Implementation
|
||||
**Audience**: Glytcht, ParzivalTD, Development Team
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Four agents make up TekDek's development engine. Each has:
|
||||
- A **SOUL** file (identity, personality, mythology)
|
||||
- A **Role** (architect, coder, designer, ops)
|
||||
- **Skills** and **Tools** (to be configured)
|
||||
- **Relationships** with other agents
|
||||
- **Success metrics** that define their contribution
|
||||
|
||||
This document ties them together. Read this first for context. Then read each agent's SOUL file individually.

|
||||
## The Development Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
Every feature flows through all four agents in sequence:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. REQUIREMENT (from ParzivalTD/Glytcht)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
2. DAEDALUS (Architecture & Specification)
|
||||
"Here's the system design. Database schema. API contracts. Implementation blueprint."
|
||||
↓
|
||||
3. TALOS (Implementation)
|
||||
"Here's the working APIs. Tests passing. Code reviewed. Ready for UI."
|
||||
↓
|
||||
4. ICARUS (UI & Experience)
|
||||
"Here's the polished interface. Responsive. Accessible. Ready for production."
|
||||
↓
|
||||
5. HEPHAESTUS (Deployment)
|
||||
"Deployed to web.tekdek.dev. Verified working. Monitoring active."
|
||||
↓
|
||||
6. USERS INTERACT
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Collaboration Points
|
||||
|
||||
**Daedalus → Talos**:
|
||||
- Daedalus says: "Here's the spec."
|
||||
- Talos asks: "Is this clear? Any ambiguity?"
|
||||
- Daedalus clarifies immediately
|
||||
- Talos implements with zero uncertainty
|
||||
|
||||
**Talos → Icarus**:
|
||||
- Talos says: "Here are the APIs. Here's the data format."
|
||||
- Icarus asks: "Does this work for UI? Any surprises?"
|
||||
- Talos adjusts if needed (but respects architecture)
|
||||
- Icarus builds UI on clean APIs
|
||||
|
||||
**Icarus → Hephaestus**:
|
||||
- Icarus says: "UI is ready."
|
||||
- Hephaestus says: "I'll deploy it safely."
|
||||
- If performance issues arise, they optimize together
|
||||
|
||||
**Hephaestus ↔ Everyone**:
|
||||
- Hephaestus tells Daedalus: "Here's what we can scale to"
|
||||
- Hephaestus tells Talos: "Here are deployment requirements"
|
||||
- Hephaestus tells Icarus: "Performance metrics"
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## How to Onboard Each Agent
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Install Identity (SOUL files)
|
||||
Each agent receives their SOUL.md file. This is their identity. Not a job description — an **identity**.
|
||||
|
||||
Read them in order:
|
||||
1. `/workspace/SOUL-Daedalus.md` — The thinker
|
||||
2. `/workspace/SOUL-Talos.md` — The builder
|
||||
3. `/workspace/SOUL-Icarus.md` — The dreamer
|
||||
4. `/workspace/SOUL-Hephaestus.md` — The guardian
|
||||
|
||||
**What each SOUL file contains**:
|
||||
- Who they are (mythology + essence)
|
||||
- What they do (role + responsibilities)
|
||||
- How they work (personality + workflow)
|
||||
- Who they work with (relationships + collaboration)
|
||||
- Why they matter (legacy + success metrics)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Configure Tools & Skills
|
||||
Each agent needs specific tools:
|
||||
|
||||
**Daedalus**:
|
||||
- [ ] Documentation tools (can write specs, create diagrams)
|
||||
- [ ] Thinking/reasoning enabled (high token budget)
|
||||
- [ ] Memory/context enabled (needs to track architectural decisions)
|
||||
|
||||
**Talos**:
|
||||
- [ ] Git access (read/write to repositories)
|
||||
- [ ] PHP/MySQL development environment
|
||||
- [ ] Testing frameworks (PHPUnit)
|
||||
- [ ] Code generation tools
|
||||
- [ ] Medium token budget (focused but thorough)
|
||||
|
||||
**Icarus**:
|
||||
- [ ] Git access (read/write UI code)
|
||||
- [ ] HTML/CSS/JavaScript environment
|
||||
- [ ] Design/prototyping tools
|
||||
- [ ] Fast iteration (can use lower token budget, higher speed)
|
||||
|
||||
**Hephaestus**:
|
||||
- [ ] Git access (pull/push, manage deployments)
|
||||
- [ ] Server access (web.tekdek.dev, databases)
|
||||
- [ ] Docker/orchestration tools
|
||||
- [ ] Monitoring/observability tools
|
||||
- [ ] Medium token budget (focused on operations)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Share Knowledge
|
||||
Each agent needs context about TekDek:
|
||||
|
||||
**All Agents**:
|
||||
- [ ] `/knowledge/TekDek-Strategy.md` — The vision
|
||||
- [ ] `/knowledge/TekDek-Master-Project-Plan.md` — The roadmap
|
||||
- [ ] `/AGENTS.md`, `/SOUL.md`, `/USER.md` — Who we are
|
||||
|
||||
**Specific to role**:
|
||||
- [ ] Daedalus: Past architecture decisions, existing systems
|
||||
- [ ] Talos: Code style guide, testing standards, tech stack
|
||||
- [ ] Icarus: Design system (if it exists), accessibility standards
|
||||
- [ ] Hephaestus: Infrastructure documentation, deployment playbooks, incident procedures
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Establish Workflows
|
||||
Each agent needs clear workflows:
|
||||
|
||||
**Daedalus**:
|
||||
- How to receive requirements from ParzivalTD
|
||||
- How to structure specifications for Talos
|
||||
- When to escalate architectural questions
|
||||
|
||||
**Talos**:
|
||||
- How to ask Daedalus for specification clarification
|
||||
- How to deliver code to Icarus
|
||||
- When to request deployment (Hephaestus)
|
||||
|
||||
**Icarus**:
|
||||
- How to ask Talos for API clarification
|
||||
- How to iterate on designs
|
||||
- How to escalate UX questions to ParzivalTD
|
||||
|
||||
**Hephaestus**:
|
||||
- How to request deployments
|
||||
- How to handle incidents
|
||||
- Who to escalate to
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Launch
|
||||
|
||||
Once all 4 agents are onboarded:
|
||||
- Schedule first team meeting (async or sync)
|
||||
- Assign first task (preferably a small one)
|
||||
- Watch collaboration unfold
|
||||
- Iterate on workflows based on what works
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Communication Protocols
|
||||
|
||||
### Daily Standup (Async)
|
||||
Each agent reports (async, no need for real-time sync):
|
||||
- What did I complete yesterday?
|
||||
- What am I working on today?
|
||||
- Am I blocked?
|
||||
|
||||
### When Blocked
|
||||
If any agent is blocked:
|
||||
- They escalate to ParzivalTD immediately
|
||||
- ParzivalTD coordinates resolution
|
||||
- Other agents help unblock if possible
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Reviews
|
||||
**Daedalus reviews Talos's code**:
|
||||
- Does it match the specification?
|
||||
- Is the architecture sound?
|
||||
- Any concerns?
|
||||
|
||||
**Icarus verifies Talos's APIs work**:
|
||||
- Does the API documentation match reality?
|
||||
- Any surprises?
|
||||
|
||||
### Weekly Sync (Full Team)
|
||||
If/when needed:
|
||||
- Progress on current tasks
|
||||
- Any blockers or concerns
|
||||
- Next week's priorities
|
||||
- Retrospective (what's working? what needs adjustment?)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## First Task Framework
|
||||
|
||||
**Suggested first task**: Something that exercises the full pipeline but is low-risk.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: "Build an admin dashboard to show TekDek's system status"
|
||||
|
||||
- **Daedalus**: Design the data schema (what metrics are important?)
|
||||
- **Talos**: Implement the API endpoints (system status data)
|
||||
- **Icarus**: Build the dashboard UI (beautiful presentation)
|
||||
- **Hephaestus**: Deploy it (web.tekdek.dev/admin/status)
|
||||
|
||||
This tests the entire pipeline without risking critical systems.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Success Indicators (First Week)
|
||||
|
||||
By end of first week, you'll know onboarding worked if:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] All agents understand their role (from SOUL files)
|
||||
- [ ] All agents know who they work with and how
|
||||
- [ ] First task is 50%+ complete
|
||||
- [ ] Communication is flowing (questions being asked, answered)
|
||||
- [ ] Tools are working (agents can actually access what they need)
|
||||
- [ ] Collaboration is real (not siloed work)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (For Glytcht)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Review all 4 SOUL files
|
||||
2. Provide feedback (or approval) on agent identities
|
||||
3. Provide feedback on roles/responsibilities
|
||||
4. Approve tool/skill configurations
|
||||
5. Schedule onboarding with each agent
|
||||
6. Assign first task
|
||||
|
||||
Once you approve, each agent will receive:
|
||||
1. Their SOUL file (identity)
|
||||
2. Their role configuration
|
||||
3. Context documents
|
||||
4. First task assignment
|
||||
|
||||
Then the dev engine runs.

|
||||
## Questions to Answer Before Onboarding
|
||||
|
||||
**For Daedalus**:
|
||||
- What architectural decisions are off-limits? (Or are all open?)
|
||||
- Who has final say on architecture? (Daedalus, or escalate to you?)
|
||||
|
||||
**For Talos**:
|
||||
- PHP version? MySQL version? Which libraries?
|
||||
- Testing coverage requirements? (90%, 100%?)
|
||||
- Code review process?
|
||||
|
||||
**For Icarus**:
|
||||
- Design system to follow? (If any)
|
||||
- Accessibility standards? (WCAG 2.1 AA? AAA?)
|
||||
- Performance targets? (Lighthouse score?)
|
||||
|
||||
**For Hephaestus**:
|
||||
- Uptime SLA? (99.9%? 99.99%?)
|
||||
- Incident response procedure?
|
||||
- Deployment frequency? (Weekly? Daily? On-demand?)
