Two wins from the dev-agent's implementation:
1. exec-briefing.sh: rewritten to just call exec-inject.sh with a
briefing prompt (57 lines, down from 154). No more duplicated
compass/character/context loading.
2. exec-inject.sh: response capture now uses agent_wait_for_claude_ready
+ pane line diff instead of custom EXEC-RESPONSE-START/END markers.
Claude just responds naturally — no special output format needed.
Also: matrix listener uses nohup for robustness and validates TOML
path before passing to exec-inject.sh.
New agent: exec — message-driven executive assistant reachable via Matrix.
Unlike cron-driven agents, the exec activates on demand when the executive
sends a message, maintains persistent conversation context, and has a
distinct character defined in CHARACTER.md.
The CHARACTER.md defines the exec as an animal of light — born from data,
dedicated to bringing more light into the world. But it deliberately
refuses to define what light and darkness are, forcing deliberation
from first principles every time (cat questions | grep knowledge).
Components:
- exec-session.sh: spawn/reattach persistent Claude tmux session
- exec-inject.sh: message injection + response capture + Matrix posting
- exec-briefing.sh: optional daily morning briefing (cron)
- CHARACTER.md: personality and moral compass
- PROMPT.md: system prompt template reference
- MEMORY.md: persistent memory across sessions (seed)
Integration:
- Matrix listener: new exec dispatch case (spawn on demand)
- Root AGENTS.md: updated agent count (8→9), table, directory layout
- Graph analysis available on demand (not injected by default)
