Build a council you can inspect.

Build a Starlight open harness in this workspace. You are already a coding agent. Do not invent a new platform. Do not claim live authority, AGI, or a deployed swarm.

Outcome tonight: one human-owned council of three agents that can run one recurring workflow, with a memory limit and a stop condition.

Do this in order:

1. Read https://starlightintelligence.ai/start.json and https://starlightintelligence.academy/academy/departments/start.json
2. Write AGENTS.md: human coordinator, three named roles, veto, irreversible gates.
3. Write MEMORY_MAP.md: none / session / user / org. Private vault prohibited on the public web.
4. Write one SKILL.md for the smallest useful job in this repo. Inputs, outputs, stop conditions, one example, one test.
5. Draw a typed graph: routes_to, verifies, requires_human_gate, failure_routes_to. The maker cannot be the final verifier.
6. Write EVAL_RUBRIC.md: one fluent lie the system must not accept.
7. Run that eval on a synthetic case. Keep the first attempt. Then revise.
8. If a Starlight plugin is available, use design-ai-department then verify-ai-department-package. If not, stay on files in this repo.
9. Stop before send, deploy, spend, secrets, production, or any external effect.

This is self-study and a blueprint. It grants no credential and no runtime tools until a named human says so.
