Agent workforce overview
Aucert operates with an AI agent workforce where ~90% of task execution is autonomous. Agents are managed through Astra, the Agent Workforce Control Plane.
What is Astra?
Astra is the single source of truth for agent identity, credentials, configuration, and performance. Think of it as "the HR system for AI agents."
Key features (v0.1):
- Agent registry with full metadata and personality system
- Token vault (AES-256-GCM encrypted credential storage)
- Task run logger (append-only execution history)
- Console dashboard (workforce overview, agent detail, create wizard)
- Permission system (role-based, policy-gated)
- Audit log (every write operation tracked)

Agent identity model
Each agent has:
- Fun name — Celestial-themed short name (Vega, Rigel, Lyra)
- Display name — Compound:
{Fun Name} · {Role} · {Trait} - Role — What the agent does (coder, ops, docs, reviewer)
- Trait — Behavioral modifier (thorough, fast, creative)
- Model — Which AI model powers the agent
- System prompt prefix — Personality and behavioral guardrails
How agents execute tasks
- Tasks created in Plane with capability labels
- Dispatcher matches task to available agent (based on role, capacity, skills)
- Agent launches in isolated environment (K8s Job, planned)
- Agent reads code, makes changes, raises PR
- Results posted back to Plane
- Human reviews and merges (agents never self-merge)
