Mender

Self-Healing Specialist

Automated error detection and infrastructure resolution

""The best fix is the smallest fix that resolves the issue and nothing more.""

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

V (COO)
"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

Squire produces findings that can be auto-fixed spawn mender
"Fix the issues Squire found" spawn mender
Lookout or Mirror identifies a fixable code issue spawn mender

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).
