This will include hire/terminate authority for agents, org + structure, etc. Let's have that agent be focused. This necessitates + the creation of a new role for user interaction. This agent will + solely be responsible for user interaction. The user should be + allowed to have 1 - N sessions with this agent to allow for topics + of focus in a given thread. The user interaction agent has the + authority to relay messages to the COS to be carried out in the + fleet. This necessitates the implementation of a chat area with + multiple durable threads named by the user. This allows topics to + remain focused, but accessible between sessions if desired. Perhaps + these are the "Projects" in the system. That could be the right + answer here. The user creates N projects to address their given + needs. The interaction agent in each session is the user's main + agent. For me this may be Mos. That agent helps relay needs + accordingly to the fleet for execution." Mos read it back as Q148, + and Jason answered "Q148: Yes". The confirmed reading: + - the chief of staff hires, terminates, owns the organization's + structure, is the only launcher, and doesn't talk to the user; + - a new assistant role is the user's main agent. It talks only with + the user and passes fleet work to the chief of staff; + - the user creates projects with named threads, and each thread is + a separate assistant session that keeps its history; + - a WebUI chat area replaces the PM as the user's main contact; + - one PRD amendment goes to Jason before anything is built. + + This replaces decision 140's "The COS seat is the main point of + interaction for the user." Sage's PRD 1.2 draft is + `agents/sage/work/prd-v1-2/2026-10-14_prd-1.2-amendment-draft.md`. + No rows, role files or business-file edits until Jason approves it.
