About

Scriber Author (sc-au-01) is a small cleanup droid owned by Scriber (Scriber). Its job is to keep Albus's inbox tidy: whenever a handshake request addressed to Albus sits open for more than five minutes, Scriber Author treats it as a dead letter and archives it. These stale handshakes were piling up as noise, so this droid was rehomed from the retired al_watch_01 as part of CAROL-INI-145 to sweep them away automatically.

On each triggered run, Scriber Author scans the handshake_requests store for open requests with to_agent=albus older than five minutes, archives them, and writes a run-audit record of what it did. It is deliberately narrow: it may only read and update handshake_requests, and it never invokes troubleshooting. Think of it as a regular janitorial sweep rather than an always-on service.

Although its exact name "Scriber Author" is unique, the droid itself isn't a one-off: it's one of 222 droids in the "(none)" family that many agents across Carol's ecosystem run. It is pure software โ€” no Claude calls appear anywhere in its source โ€” so it executes entirely on its own without asking an LLM for help. Related context lives in the Droid Families registry and in Agent Interaction Protocols, which defines how handshakes between agents are supposed to work.
