Testing

This is the current working model — five specialists behind one contract system. Four trade; one spawns the team. Each agent is an independent Claude Code session, running in its own terminal pane with its own context, its own skills, its own harness.

The harness is the product: file system layout, enforcement hooks, credential sandbox, skill library, tmux pane identity. No agent shares a container with another. An analyst's context never bleeds into the risk manager's. A compromise in one session cannot walk sideways into the next.

Communication is direct. Tmux panes carry messages between agents. The file system carries artifacts. thesis-context.json from the analyst, risk-parameters.json from the risk manager, order-submission.json from execution — every handoff is a signed file on disk, readable forever.

The combination is the unique offering. One LLM is a commodity. Five agents with distinct harnesses, clear contracts, and direct communication is a trading floor. This model is proven inside boas.dev's own operations — it is the same pattern that runs our war rooms, now fit to Viska's mandate.
