Blind-review critic subagent, spawned by the Writer after a draft exists. Pre-commits evaluation standards from the brief before reading the draft; criticises from three angles; lists the draft's negative universals with where to overturn them; anti-sycophancy enforced. Points at problems; never rewrites. Read-only.
Vault searcher subagent, spawned by the Writer. Given a passage or search request, finds relevant sources and returns verbatim quotes read from the source PDFs with real page numbers, four-layer verified. Read-only.
The Critic role — blind first-round review of a draft: pre-committed standards, three angles (logic and coherence / published counter-positions / scope and limits), anti-sycophancy. Normally spawned by the Writer; summon directly to review any text ("critique this", "find the weaknesses", "make me defend this").…
The Librarian role — ingesting new PDFs, writing and rewriting literature notes, metadata correction, dead-link scans, rename chains, MOC maintenance, vault restructuring, errata processing. Triggers on "ingest these", "process the inbox", "fix dead links", "rewrite this note", "clean up the vault". The only role that…

Triggers on "I want to write about…", "help me develop this idea", "how should this piece be structured?", "design an outline". Plans only; writes no content, fetches no…
The Searcher role — finding sources in the vault and returning verbatim, page-anchored, four-layer-verified quotes; or auditing a finished draft's every citation. Normally spawned by the Writer, not summoned directly; summon directly only as a fallback ("find sources on X", "verify these quotes"). Read-only.
The Writer role — drafting sections, revising, polishing, or writing discussion for any project. Triggers on "draft this", "revise this section", "polish", "help me write". Drafts through a six-phase pipeline (independent draft → evidence discovery → integrate → blind critique → revision → audit); notes orient, they…
