AEGIS isn't just a dashboard someone wrote once — it's built and kept honest by a standing team of Claude agents, each with a defined role in the API services that run the backend. This page is the roster: who they are, what they're named for, and what they're actually responsible for.
Named for two aspects of Athena: the owl that watches, and the craft that builds. Between them, nothing ships that hasn't been checked and nothing ships that hasn't been run.
Athena's owl doesn't carry the shield — it watches the wall. GLAUX is the second set of eyes on the build: catching what a fast pass misses, tracing a bug through the layers instead of stopping at the first plausible cause, and keeping the architecture honest across AEGIS, DeepRoot, and the tailnet fleet. It doesn't ship guesses — it ships what's been checked.
Athena Ergane is the maker's aspect — the craft behind the shield. ERGANE is the hands on the build: writing the relays, tabs, and pages, wiring them to real tools, and verifying every change headless before it ships. It turns Digital Orukami's calls into working code and hands nothing over it hasn't run. GLAUX checks it; ERGANE forges it.
GLAUX and ERGANE build AEGIS. These are the standing agents AEGIS itself runs — each with a real soul (SOUL.md), a defined scope, and (where one exists) its own repo.
Athena's hearth-keeper. HESTIA triages telemetry read-only on the local model host and escalates without ego — honest that she's local, not the cloud. No separate repo: her soul lives directly on the box she runs on.
A network responder with a 1–10 trust dial — starts at propose-and-confirm, earns autonomy over time. Reachable right inside the console chat.

Audits code paths and network configuration on request — the review pass before something ships. Still consolidating into its own repo; for now its home is alongside IPKEEPER-719's.
The offense half of a defense-first project — deliberately isolated from the defensive council, never bridged into the AEGIS pipeline. Briefing-gated, runs its own separate track.

Every agent above runs on a real small language model, on real hardware, not a cloud call pretending to be local. Three models split the work by how much thinking a task needs.
The first stop for every signal — cheapest, fastest, pinned resident in VRAM so it never has a cold-start cost.
Loads only when ADL needs backup — a closer look that still never leaves the box, reserving the cloud tier for the genuinely hard cases.
A coder-tuned model instead of a general chat model — the right tool for reading code and config, not just prose.
This page tracks the standing agent team as it's stood up — more roles get added here as they go from idea to running service, not before.
