Its job is to run the end-to-end create-initiative workflow whenever a new initiative is filed through the [[initiatives]] app. It exists because that workflow was relocated out of the app in phase 2: behavior is preserved exactly, just now as a separate droid rather than as in-app code.\n\nIt is triggered on filing, reached only through the initiatives app's shared shim. On each filing it canonicalizes the title, validates status and identity fields, refuses human-name requesters ([[agt_023]] is the only human CLI requester), runs the filing-invariant and blocked-parent gates, inserts the new initiative row, parks the target atomically for [[agt_001]] bypasses, auto-detects the remediation target and starts the bypass session for [[agt_023]] bypasses, and records a session event plus a [[palantir]] post on every successful creation. It owns and closes its own database connections and never touches the bypass book, cookbook, or status rows beyond what the original workflow did.\n\n\"Initiative Creator\" is a unique name, but it is one of 26 droids in the author family, which other agents also run — including [[agt_001]], [[agt_002]], [[agt_003]], [[agt_008]], [[agt_011]], [[agt_012]], [[agt_023]], [[agt_025]], and [[agt_034]] (see [[droid-families]]). It is not pure software: it calls Claude (model not recorded) to perform the create-initiative orchestration.","namesake_json":"{\"engine\": \"claude\", \"model\": null, \"claude_purpose\": \"runs the end-to-end create-initiative workflow\", \"family\": \"author\", \"family_size\": 26, \"is_unique\": true}","profile_pic_path":"avatars/droid/el-ci-01.png","source_hash":"a0457674452dc919c9390fb370e8168a1ad9c1959cfe4c13d8463f06390482a3","status":"being_built","last_generated_at":"2026-08-05 00:47:08","created_at":"2026-07-26 03:31:00","updated_at":"2026-08-05 00:47:08"},"facts":{"id":"el-ci-01","name":"Initiative Creator","machine_name":"EL-CI-01","owner":"agt_011","function":"Performs the create_initiative orchestration when a new initiative is filed","process_type":"triggered","schedule":"On filing","process_name":"initiative_creator","avatar_color":"#3b82f6","created_for":"Elrond is accountable for the build pipeline's filing machinery.
