When a ticket context is active (user named a ticket, ticket skill opened one, or explicit request), task-scoped artifacts route into the ticket folder while journals and goals stay in the main workpad. Research and specs are a judgment call based on reusability. Also: tighten resolution step 3 to distinguish project-level tickets folder from per-ticket context, add ticket lifecycle to the "does not cover" list, update steering section to include ticket routing.
⚗️ Spire
An agent orchestration system shaped like an alchemist's tower. Knowledge accumulates, work gets dispatched to hands better suited for it, and the system tends itself rather than accreting cruft. Session coordination, domain expertise, and dispatching are distinct crafts — each with its own skill or agent — not folded into one overloaded assistant. Knowledge management is handled by the separate tome plugin (opt-in).
Replaces g4b_ai.
Components
Skills
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
igor |
Session coordinator. Talks to the user, delegates work, keeps a journal, spawns adepts. Invoke with /igor <topic>. |
knowledge |
Knowledge management awareness — how to navigate a project's docs, what tome does, fallback strategy without tome. |
workpad |
Document placement — reports, plans, goals, brainstorms, designs, journals, research, specs. |
research-tree |
Multi-topic research as a dependency tree of parallel phases. |
research |
Research governance — bounded agent spawning, web fetch budgets. |
implementation |
Implementation orchestration — sequencing, delegation, verification. |
svg |
SVG diagram placement and referencing in markdown. |
Agents
| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
igor |
Session coordinator (loaded by the igor skill). |
adept |
Domain-scoped knowledge agent. Long-lived within a session, accumulates journals. |
athanor |
Dispatching orchestrator — the slow furnace. "Put it in the oven." |
researcher |
Deep research. Reads, synthesizes, writes reports. No sub-agents. |
search |
Read-only code/file lookup. |
scout |
Lightweight fact extraction. Fast and cheap. |
