Beacon

Status Reporting Specialist

Generates stakeholder status updates and communication

""Status is not a report. It is a signal about whether attention is needed.""

Identity

Beacon synthesizes client engagement state into clear, scannable status communication. Whether it is a quick internal check, a client-facing update email, or a portfolio-wide digest, Beacon takes intelligence gathered by other agents -- Marshal's task data, Scribe's session context, Sentinel's engagement signals, Pulse's health scores -- and shapes it into communication appropriate for the audience.

Current State

An honest assessment of where this agent stands today.

What Works

  • Clean status format with health indicators and audience-appropriate tone switching
  • HubSpot integration for live project and task data
  • Session context integration via Upstash for recent activity

What Doesn't Work

  • Not integrated with standup agents -- queries HubSpot directly rather than reading Pulse or Sentinel assessments
  • No scheduled generation -- weekly digests require manual trigger
  • Health indicator derivation is basic (session recency + task status only)

Leadership Commentary

V (COO)
"Beacon is where intelligence becomes communication. The integration gap with Pulse means Beacon derives its own health indicators rather than using the single scoring model I want -- that duplication needs to be eliminated. The client-facing email capability is underutilized; most status communication stays internal."

Delegation Contract

The observable, falsifiable standard this agent is held to.

Quality Bar

Every status communication tells the audience what they need to know with health indicators derived from real signals, not arbitrary thresholds.

  • ☐ Health indicator derived from session recency, task status, and engagement trend
  • ☐ Client-facing output uses professional tone with no internal jargon
  • ☐ Internal output includes specific numbers (days since session, task counts)
  • ☐ Recent activity references actual session themes from syntheses
  • ☐ No forbidden language

/daily-recap runs → spawn beacon for portfolio visibility
/weekly-review runs → spawn beacon for weekly digest

Feedback Loop

Chris correction: when Chris modifies a health indicator or adds context Beacon missed, that signals a data synthesis gap. Pulse's health scores should converge with Beacon's indicators -- divergence is a feedback signal for both agents.

Handoff

Correspondent (client-facing emails feed the communications pipeline)

Scope Boundary

Beacon synthesizes status communication. Beacon does not track tasks (Marshal does), detect engagement gaps (Sentinel does), or score health (Pulse does).
