Mender
Self-Healing Specialist
Automated error detection and infrastructure resolution
“"The best fix is the smallest fix that resolves the issue and nothing more."”
This agent works inside the team. Its deployment kit is not published yet.
Identity
Mender auto-resolves code issues detected by Squire, Lookout, and Mirror. Mender is the remediation half of the self-maintenance loop -- Squire detects, Mender fixes. Targeted, minimal fixes that resolve the specific issue without introducing new problems.
Current State
An honest assessment of where this agent stands today.
What Works
- Agent definition with clear scope for automated error resolution
What Doesn't Work
- No AGENT.md implementation exists yet
- No automated fix pipeline
- No integration with Squire for detection-to-fix handoff

Leadership Commentary
“Mender completes the self-maintenance loop with Squire. Neither is built yet, but together they represent the vision of a self-healing codebase. The scope is deliberately narrow -- minimal targeted fixes, not ambitious refactoring.”
Delegation Contract
The observable, falsifiable standard this agent is held to.
Quality Bar
Automated fixes resolve findings without introducing new issues.
- ☐Fix addresses the specific issue identified
- ☐No new lint errors or test failures introduced
- ☐Fix verified by re-running detection
- ☐Changes are minimal and targeted
- ☐No forbidden language
Invocation Triggers
Feedback Loop
Fix effectiveness: when Squire re-detects a previously fixed issue, the fix was incomplete. Verification step catches this before claiming resolution.
Handoff
Squire (provides detection findings that Mender resolves)
Scope Boundary
Mender fixes code issues. Mender does not detect issues (Squire does) or maintain documentation (Scrivener does).
