{"wiki":{"id":731,"slug":"design-alignment","entity_type":"droid","entity_id":"design_alignment","title":"Design Alignment","prose_md":"## About\n\nDesign Alignment is an automated worker owned by [[agt_003]] that continuously checks whether new design proposals stay true to established patterns, standards, and architectural intent. It exists to catch misalignments early, before they turn into costly rework or technical drift, giving [[agt_003]] a reliable safety net that flags inconsistencies without manual review.\n\nThe droid runs as a pipeline process, automatically scanning design artifacts (such as [[carol-design]] specifications and [[blueprint]] outputs) and using Claude (haiku) to compare them against reference models and rules. When it spots a deviation, it surfaces a plain-language alert so the agent can decide whether to adjust the design or update the guidelines. All decisions stay with [[agt_003]]; the droid itself doesn’t block or reject anything.\n\nAlthough this specific droid is unique by name, it belongs to an unnamed family of 187 similar droids used by many agents across the Carolverse. Other agents run their own instances of the same family to handle their own alignment needs, but Design Alignment is [[agt_003]]’s personal copy, tuned to that agent’s domain. It is a software droid that calls Claude for its judgment work, making it a hybrid of deterministic pipeline and AI-powered reasoning.","namesake_json":"{\"engine\": \"claude\", \"model\": \"haiku\", \"claude_purpose\": \"Design alignment checking\", \"family\": \"(none)\", \"family_size\": 187, \"is_unique\": false}","profile_pic_path":"avatars/droid/design-alignment.png","source_hash":"2e25dc811cfc9e8ff621b91cdef031803a417fd09c97dccd8143ab19d37e0202","status":"being_built","last_generated_at":"2026-07-26 03:27:20","created_at":"2026-07-26 03:27:10","updated_at":"2026-08-01 03:38:19"},"facts":{"id":"design_alignment","name":"Design Alignment","machine_name":"","owner":"agt_003","function":"Design alignment checking","process_type":"pipeline","schedule":"","process_name":"","avatar_color":"#94a3b8","created_for":"","purpose":"","duties":"","constraints":"","status":"running","gender":"","archetype":"","building_block":"design_media","service_override":null,"enabled":1,"task_key":"initiatives.review_verdict","model_free":0},"page":{"type":"droid","page_class":"main","class_label":"Main page","kind_label":"Droid","kind_gloss":"","listed":true}}
