📖About & Usage

About

The Initiative Closer is an author-family droid owned by Elrond. It exists because phase 3 of the Migration moved the Carol Initiatives app's post-commit close-event hooks out of the app into a standalone droid — a relocation, not a refactor, so behavior is preserved exactly. Whenever the app's PUT handler commits a status change, it triggers four hooks: flipping a dispatch lock on terminal status, rolling component actuals into running averages, running quality scoring plus a regression check, and running the per-initiative audit and follow-on filer.

It is called only through the Carol Initiatives app's shared shim, never imported directly, and runs each hook as a best-effort step so one failure never blocks the others. It owns and closes its own database connections, records a session_event and posts to Palantir on every close, and deliberately does not hold the close gate — status guards and terminal-reopen checks stay in the app endpoint.

It is not unique: it's one of 26 author-family droids, and there are two copies of "Initiative Closer" itself. Other agents across Albus, Archon, Argus, Carol, Forge, Orion, Sage, and Leo also run author droids; the family is documented in Droid Families. It is not pure software — its execution engine calls Claude (model unspecified) to generate written outputs such as audit entries and Palantir posts.
