§01 · Weekly work

The recurring work between writing code.

The interruptions that fragment engineering time – context assembly, runbook hunting, incident triage. A co-worker handles the assembly so the engineer keeps the focus.

PR review prep

Context summary, related ticket links, impacted services, and the standard checklist – drafted before the reviewer opens it.

Doc & runbook lookups

Surface the right Confluence page, the right runbook step, the right ADR – instead of seven Slack threads chasing it.

Incident context assembly

Timeline from logs, the triggering deploy, the related ticket, and the last similar incident – gathered before the on-call lands.

Weekly ops digest

SLO summary, top alerts, deploy cadence, lingering toil – assembled for the team review every Friday afternoon.

§02 · Co-worker

A co-worker that reads the repo, the docs, the tickets, the pages.

Connects to the systems engineering already runs on. Assembles context. Drafts handoffs. The engineer keeps the merge button.

§03 · Engines

The agent engines doing the work.

For engineering: the analysis engine for context, the watchful engine for anomalies, the goal-based engine to chase a target through to resolution.

Data Analysis Agent

Reads logs, ticket history, and code diffs. Assembles the "what changed, what touched it, what came after" view.

Analytical · Cited

Anomaly Detection Agent

Watches SLOs, deploy regressions, error rate shifts. Surfaces the unusual moment before the page wakes the on-call.

Watchful · Proactive

Goal-Based Agent

Carries an incident or migration goal across steps – gathering, drafting, asking, waiting – until the human marks it done.

Persistent · Step-aware
§04 · Sample workflow

Incident triage, assembled before the on-call lands.

A real engagement pattern – what the team asked for, what the co-worker did, what got approved, and what landed in the incident channel inside 90 seconds.

What was asked

"Give the on-call the timeline – before they're awake."

An on-call rotation kept losing the first 15 minutes of every incident to context assembly: which deploy went out, which logs lit up, which ticket touched the affected service, which Slack thread had the last operator's notes.

What the co-worker did

Watched the page fire. Assembled the timeline in 90 seconds.

The moment the PagerDuty page fired, the co-worker pulled the last 24h of deploys touching the affected service, surfaced the matching runbook, and stitched a timeline from the log spike, the related ticket, and the relevant Slack threads. Source links on every entry.

What got approved

The on-call read the timeline, confirmed the rollback path, executed.

The on-call opened the incident channel, scanned the draft timeline, confirmed the rollback path the runbook suggested matched, and ran it. The co-worker doesn't run rollbacks – humans do.

What shipped

Mean time to diagnosis down meaningfully, post-mortem half-written.

An implementation-led engagement that took 4 weeks including the security review for log access. The on-call gets a head start. The post-mortem gets its first draft for free.
