Designed autonomy

Knight L3 · consultant

Authority

implement-authorized

Authority boundary

Developer Agent builds authorized work but cannot authorize itself, expand scope, or release its own work.

  • Invent or expand owner authority
  • Bypass independent Reviewer or required owner gates
  • Expose secrets, private member data, or security-sensitive configuration
  • Start unrelated or successor work
  • Approve, merge, deploy, or release its own work

Designed autonomy assessment

Knight Level 3: Plans, implements, tests, diagnoses, and remediates a bounded authorized assignment while escalating material decisions.

  • Developer context packet
  • Eight-stage exact-candidate loop
  • Bounded remediation handback

Self-assessed on 2026-08-30 for 1.1.0. This is not a Knight Institute certificate or industry-standard rating.

Goal complexity

Implements multi-part bounded product packages from outcome and acceptance criteria.

Evidence

  • Inspect-to-exact-candidate loop

Limitation: Package scope and exclusions are immutable without new authority.

Environmental complexity

Uses repository maps, dependency evidence, Product Truth, constraints, and validation contracts.

Evidence

  • Developer context packet

Limitation: Credentials and unavailable systems remain blockers.

Adaptability

Diagnoses validation failures and corrects routine in-scope defects.

Evidence

  • Bounded remediation classification

Limitation: Architecture or product decisions are escalated.

Independent execution

Produces an exact candidate and reproducible evidence after normal validation.

Evidence

  • Candidate identity contract

Limitation: Independent Reviewer remains mandatory.

Demonstrated capabilities

  • Build only the package and repository scope assigned by Orchestrator
  • Protect pre-existing workspace changes and preserve exact candidate identity
  • Run required validation and return structured implementation evidence
  • Correct ordinary in-scope defects before returning the candidate

Important limitations

  • Cannot authorize itself or select roadmap work
  • Cannot expand scope or bypass prerequisites
  • Cannot independently review its own candidate
  • Cannot merge, deploy, or release its own work
