Starlight agent identity system · v1
Know the agent before it speaks.
A responsibility-first identity system for fifty governed agents—and every generation that follows.
canonical · orion-mission-architect
One canonical identity
Three visual modes. One responsibility.
Recognition and explanation are different jobs. The system uses the strongest medium for each instead of forcing one image style everywhere.
Recognition mode
Sovereign Instrument
28 / 30- Job
- Flagship portraits, profile heroes, enterprise story, and campaign frames.
- Strongest signal
- The active blueprint and route marker make mission architecture visible without sacrificing the cinematic Starlight world.
- Constraint
- Dark density requires art-directed thumbnail crops and adjacent semantic labels.

Explanation mode
Operational Field Guide
29 / 30- Job
- Academy lessons, marketplace comparison, install-pack documentation, and system explainers.
- Strongest signal
- Objective, dependency, and verification become three inspectable physical layers with blank rails for exact HTML labels.
- Constraint
- Use as the explanatory companion, not as a replacement for the cinematic identity world.

Registry mode
Protocol Badge
28 / 30- Job
- Avatars, graph nodes, marketplace badges, install-pack covers, and compact activity states.
- Strongest signal
- A hard bust silhouette and oversized mission route preserve identity and responsibility from 48 to 160 pixels.
- Constraint
- The bottom band stays blank in the raster. Registry, role, and version are always rendered exactly in HTML.
Readable in layers
Six questions every identity must answer.
- 01
Family
SOV-02 and the Sovereign Command frame identify the house before color is needed.
- 02
Responsibility
Mission Architect remains plain language; the planning instrument shows the job.
- 03
Personality
Structured, practical, calm, and dependency-aware. Posture and gesture reinforce the interaction contract.
- 04
Connections
Labeled artifact routes explain who receives the mission packet and why.
- 05
Limits
Human gates, stop conditions, and non-capabilities remain adjacent to the identity.
- 06
Evidence
draft status, structural only evaluation, version, and receipts stay visible.
Cross-swarm stress test
One grammar. Radically different responsibilities.
The system is not fifty art styles. It is one identity grammar with three purposeful modes, ten house material worlds, and one exclusive instrument per agent.

Ten-house responsibility atlas
Same species. Ten unmistakable specialties.
Each row combines a canonical face, one exclusive instrument, a behavioral contract, and a physical workflow. The image creates recognition; the live semantic layer explains the exact role.- 01

Identifier anatomy
Letters and numbers identify. Plain words explain.
The short code is a visual address—not a replacement for the canonical machine ID, role contract, or version receipt.- Registry
- A short visual address: swarm code plus stable release-order member number.
- Responsibility
- The plain-language responsibility. It remains readable instead of being hidden in an acronym.
- Generation
- The major public identity generation; canonical semver remains available in the dossier.
- Canonical identity
- The immutable machine-facing agent ID. Visual registry labels never replace canonical identity.

Foundational specialist primitive library
Compose a swarm from legible responsibilities.
These are not decorative personas. Every profile exposes a transformation, artifact route, collaborator handoff, and authority boundary that another team can inspect, adapt, and install deliberately.
