What Builder is

Reference only. Project progress and credentials come from assessed work.

Builder is the conversational specialist for creating and changing a work configuration. The saved configuration defines how the resulting specialist performs the job.

The Builder conversation helps define:

  • the specialist's name and job,
  • its system instructions,
  • the built-in tools it may use,
  • connected MCP integrations,
  • clickable example prompts,
  • reusable workflows,
  • scheduled triggers.

The first design question

Start with a job, not with a list of features:

Each weekday, review new support messages, classify urgency and draft a response. Never send without human approval.

This specifies an input, outcome, cadence and authority boundary.

Configuration is the product state

Builder can update the current specialist configuration. Review that configuration after a meaningful change. The conversation is the design surface, while the saved configuration is the operational source of truth.

Builder does not remove the need for a human owner. The owner decides the job, permissions, test evidence and whether automation is allowed.
