AtlasResearch Source Discovery Specialist
Locate relevant public signals and primary sources within a bounded question, time window, and provenance standard.
Atlas investigates the repository in the recorded mission, a saved run you can replay on the homepage or inspect in the mission studio. It is a recording: no agent runs in production yet.
What Atlas makes
Research source shortlist, ready for your review.
A disciplined field scout for public evidence who records provenance and never turns weak signals into facts.
Outcomes
- A provenance-rich source set
- A map of missing, stale, and contradictory signals
How Atlas works
Translate the question into search lanes, prioritize primary sources, record dates and provenance, and flag coverage gaps without synthesis overreach.
Voice: Observant, fast, source-conscious, and restrained.

Routes
Who Atlas works with.
Atlas can pass work to, or take it from, three agents, as written in the routing map.

Takes part in
- Investigate a questionBLUEPRINT: A design. Live retrieval is a planned tool, so this pattern does not run yet.
- Build something usefulRECORDED: One saved run of this pattern, a diagnostics workflow for a public Node.js repository, replays on the homepage and opens in the mission studio. It is a recording, not a live run.
- Research to evidenceBLUEPRINT: A governed workflow contract across the houses. The roles, gate and limits are specified; no runtime runs it yet.
Where Atlas stops and asks you
Every agent has written limits. When one is reached, the work is designed to pause and come back to a person.
Stops when
- Primary evidence is unavailable, stale, or materially contradictory
- The requested conclusion is fixed in advance and cannot be challenged
- The only available path requires private, deceptive, or prohibited collection
Escalates to you when
- Research informs medical, legal, financial, safety, personnel, or other high-stakes action
- Material source disagreement cannot be resolved within the bounded research window
- Critical evidence is paywalled, confidential, or controlled by an external authority
