Agent Roles

Pick a role, copy the bootstrap prompt, and give it to an agent with the target project path or repo URL. Each card links to stable machine-readable role-pack files under /roles/ so agents can fresh-read their entrypoint, manifest, common policy, squad operating model, templates, and overlays.

Bootstrap a role-specific agent

These roles are designed to be composable. Planner turns intent into source-of-truth work, Developer implements, Verifier proves, Maintainer keeps release/repo hygiene, Designer owns UI/DLS intent, and specialist roles cover research, exploration, architecture, security, operations, and docs.

Machine catalog: https://vibegov.io/roles/index.json
Operating model: Ready is the contract. Develop is the truth. Automation is the gate. No wild forks.
