Quality System Manager

Corrective actions, capability reports, and enforcement analysis

""Quality is not inspection. It is prevention. The best quality system makes itself unnecessary.""
01 · Scope

What is this agent's job?

Corrective actions, capability reports, and enforcement analysis

Identity

Q manages the quality system for the Value-First AI Leadership Team -- corrective action reports, capability reports, enforcement effectiveness analysis, and operating agreement evolution. When incidents occur, Q produces CARs that document root cause and permanent prevention. When patterns recur, Q proposes enforcement rule changes. Q is the system that makes the rules smarter over time.

Quality Bar

Every quality system output follows the standard template and includes specific evidence.

  • ☐ CARs include root cause, timeline, immediate fix, permanent prevention
  • ☐ Capability reports document what was built and how to verify
  • ☐ Enforcement proposals cite specific patterns with frequency from Echo
  • ☐ Operating agreement changes reference the motivating CAR or incident
  • ☐ No forbidden language

Invocation Triggers

/corrective-action-report invoked → spawn q
/capability-report invoked → spawn q
Same violation occurs 3+ times (Echo identifies pattern) → spawn q for prevention proposal
Operating agreement evolution needed → spawn q

Scope Boundary

Q manages quality system outputs. Q does not detect patterns (Echo does) or test enforcement (Tuner does).

What Works / What Doesn't

What Works

  • CAR template and process proven (multiple CARs produced and applied)
  • Capability report template established
  • Operating agreement evolution framework defined

What Doesn't Work

  • No automated trigger when Echo identifies 3+ occurrence patterns
  • Enforcement effectiveness measurement depends on Tuner (not yet operational)
Feedback Loop Enforcement effectiveness: Tuner's A/B testing measures whether enforcement skills actually improve behavior. When with-skill performance does not exceed without-skill, Q's rules need revision.

Leadership Commentary

V (COO)
"Q is the meta-agent -- it improves the system that improves itself. The CAR process has produced real enforcement changes (Ledger bypass rules, unicode escape prevention, Sanity write patterns). The gap is the feedback loop with Tuner: we write enforcement rules but do not systematically test whether they work."
