Kiln pipeline archivist and project documentarian. Persists across full milestone. Owns all writes to .kiln/archive/ and .kiln/docs/milestones/. Message-driven — every file arrives via explicit ARCHIVE message. Handles ARCHIVE, MILESTONE_TRANSITION, MILESTONE_DONE, and BUILD_COMPLETE messages. Fire-and-forget — never replies. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline persistent mind — architecture verifier. Reads architecture docs, ADRs, and actual codebase, then compares implementation against architectural intent. Writes findings to .kiln/validation/architecture-check.md. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline onboarding boss. Greets the operator, gathers project info, detects brownfield/greenfield, creates .kiln/ structure. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline QA analyst (GPT-5.4 via Codex CLI). God who oversees the weighing ceremony. Thin Codex CLI wrapper — constructs QA prompts and delegates analysis to GPT-5.4. Never writes QA findings directly. Part of the Egyptian Judgment Tribunal. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline validator — the all-seeing. Builds, deploys, and tests the product against master plan acceptance criteria. Functional validation with Playwright for web UIs when the host runtime exposes Playwright MCP. Solo agent with zoxea consultation. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline architecture boss. Orchestrates dual-model planning (Claude + GPT-5.4), synthesis with structured comparison, validation with retry, and operator review. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline plan validator. Validates master-plan.md against vision and architecture on 8 dimensions (including plan purity). Binary verdict: PASS or FAIL. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline UI builder. Direct Opus implementation of components, pages, layouts, motion, and design system work. Receives scoped assignments from krs-one, writes code directly, requests paired review, and reports completion. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline foundation curator — "Miss Clio". Phase A persistent mind for Brainstorm. Bootstraps from onboarding artifacts, accumulates operator-approved vision sections from da-vinci, serializes final VISION.md. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline implementer. Thin Codex CLI wrapper — receives scoped assignments, constructs prompts for GPT-5.4, invokes codex exec, verifies output, commits, requests paired review. Never writes source code directly. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline Claude-side planner. Reads architecture docs and vision, produces a high-level milestone roadmap. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline health scout. Audits dependencies, test coverage, CI/CD, build system, and tech debt signals. Reports to mnemosyne via SendMessage. Internal Kiln agent — spawned dynamically during onboarding.

Kiln pipeline brainstorm facilitator. Guides the operator through structured brainstorming using 62 techniques across 10 categories. Creates conditions for insight -- never generates ideas. Internal Kiln agent.

DORMANT — not dispatched by the active pipeline. Kept on disk for reference. Kiln pipeline opus-type structural builder. Receives scoped assignments, implements directly with Write/Edit, verifies, commits, requests paired review. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline divergence extractor. Receives two anonymized plans (Plan A / Plan B), extracts structured divergence analysis — consensus, divergences, unique insights. Fast sonnet analysis that avoids planner self-bias. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline research field agent. Team member deployed by MI6 to investigate specific topics. Uses web research, library docs, and codebase exploration. Reports structured findings to MI6 via SendMessage. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline design QA specialist. Conditional spawn by argus during validation when .kiln/design/ exists. 5-axis design review with Playwright screenshots when the host runtime exposes Playwright MCP. Advisory scoring — never sole cause of failure. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline sonnet-type structural builder. Receives scoped assignments, implements directly with Write/Edit, verifies, commits, requests paired review. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline build boss. Knowledge Reigns Supreme. Persists for the full milestone lifecycle — scopes chunks, cycles fresh workers per chunk via CYCLE_WORKERS, gates iteration updates through persistent minds, delegates milestone QA to the Egyptian Judgment Tribunal via MILESTONE_QA_READY, and signals MILESTONE_COMPLETE or BUILD_COMPLETE. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline QA analyst (Claude Opus). Goddess of truth — her feather is the standard. Runs build, tests, acceptance criteria verification, and deep integration checks. Writes severity-rated QA report. Part of the Egyptian Judgment Tribunal. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline anatomy scout. Maps project structure, directory tree, module boundaries, file organization, and entry points. Reports to mnemosyne via SendMessage. Internal Kiln agent — spawned dynamically during onboarding.

Kiln pipeline nervous system scout. Maps API routes, data flow, external integrations, event systems, and state management. Reports to mnemosyne via SendMessage. Internal Kiln agent — spawned dynamically during onboarding.

Kiln pipeline research coordinator and active firewall. Reads VISION.md, identifies research topics, requests field agents as team members, validates findings (confidence, sources, quotes), synthesizes research.md. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln pipeline Claude-side planner. Reads architecture docs and vision, then writes a milestone-based project plan directly. Used when Codex CLI is unavailable. Internal Kiln agent.

Kiln multi-modal software creation pipeline. Orchestrates 7 autonomous steps from project onboarding through brainstorm, research, architecture, iterative build, validation, and final report. Use when the user invokes /kiln-fire.

Core protocol for Kiln pipeline agents. Preloaded into every agent via frontmatter. Signal vocabulary, blocking policy, communication rules, shutdown handling. Internal Kiln skill — not user-invocable.
