🔐 Curator-Agent Role (Meta-Agent)

The curator-agent is the only agent authorized to systematically create or modify other agents' configurations and prompts:

Authorized Modifications:
- .github/agents/*.md — Custom agent profile definitions
- .github/copilot-mcp*.json — MCP server configurations
- .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml — Agent bootstrap workflows
Required Controls:
- ✅ All curator-agent changes MUST be made via pull requests (PRs)
- ✅ All PRs require CEO or designated security/ISMS owner review and approval
- ✅ Changes MUST be mapped to risk assessment and documented in Risk Register when relevant
- ✅ Changes MUST follow Change Management procedures
Prohibited Actions (Core Restrictions Only):
- ❌ No agent may bypass CEO approval on pull requests
- ❌ No agent may modify its own permissions or MCP configuration (curator-agent must perform such changes with CEO approval)

👥 Task & Specialist Agent Automation

Task and specialist agents operate with increased automation under CEO oversight:

Task Agents:
- Analyze systems and create ISMS-aligned improvement issues
- Automatically assign issues to appropriate specialist agents based on domain expertise
- Coordinate multi-agent workflows for complex improvements
- CEO sets strategic direction; task agents execute analysis and coordination
Specialist Agents:
- Implement specific changes following curated prompts and least-privilege tool access
- Receive assignments from task agents automatically
- Submit all work via PR workflow for CEO approval
All Agent Work:
- Generated as proposals requiring CEO approval via PR workflow
- Workflows and agent configurations require CEO approval
- CI/CD pipelines enforce security gates
- ISMS-PUBLIC loaded as mandatory context
- Secure Development Policy compliance enforced

🛡️ CEO Oversight & Strategic Control

The CEO maintains ultimate authority and approval over all agent activities:

Strategic Direction:
- CEO sets objectives and priorities for task agent analysis
- CEO directs which repositories and systems to analyze
- CEO defines improvement focus areas and compliance targets
Approval Authority:
- All pull requests created by agents require CEO approval before merge
- All workflow changes require CEO approval (.github/workflows/*.yml)
- All agent configuration changes require CEO approval (curator-agent modifications)
- Delegated approvals possible for routine changes with CEO oversight
Automation with Oversight:
- Task agents automatically assign specialist agents (approved automation pattern)
- Agents generate proposals and coordinate work (CEO retains final approval)
- CI security gates provide technical validation (CEO review remains mandatory)
- Responsibility for all production changes remains with CEO, not agents

📊 Agent Risk Management

Agent-specific risks documented in Risk Register:

Risk	Description	Controls
R-AGENT-001	Misconfigured curator-agent widens agent permissions or bypasses checks	• CEO approval on curator changes • Automated validation of agent YAML • CI checks forbid certain patterns
R-AGENT-002	Agents generate policies or configurations contradicting ISMS	• ISMS documents authoritative, agents draft only • CEO review required for policy files • Explicit versioning and approval workflows

🔄 Agent Lifecycle Management

Per Change Management, agent configuration files are treated as configuration items requiring change control:

Agent Profile Changes: Normal change requiring CEO approval
MCP Configuration Changes: Normal change with security impact assessment
Capability Expansion: Requires risk evaluation and CEO approval
New Agent Creation: Requires business justification and security review

📈 AI Model Evolution Evaluation Framework

Purpose: Ensure Hack23 AB maintains optimal AI capabilities through systematic evaluation of model advancements while managing security risks and maintaining governance compliance.

Assumptions: AI model upgrades occur multiple times per year (rapid cadence observed in 2026 — seven releases February–June: Opus 4.6→4.7→4.8, Sonnet 4.6, plus the new Mythos and Fable 5 model families, with further Opus 4.9/4.x and model-family updates expected in H2 2026); competitors (OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, EU sovereign AI) evaluated at each release. Architecture accommodates potential paradigm shifts (quantum AI, neuromorphic computing, federated AI).

Observed 2026 Model Releases

Release	Date	Status
Claude Opus 4.6	2026-02-05	Production
Claude Sonnet 4.6	2026-02-17	Production
Claude Mythos	2026-04-07	Preview
Claude Opus 4.7	2026-04-16	Production
Claude Opus 4.8	2026-05-28	Production (current)
Claude Fable 5	2026-06-09	Production
Claude Mythos 5	2026-06-09	Preview

Note: The table above reflects releases observed through June 2026 only; Opus 4.8 is the current production model. The year is in progress — further Opus 4.9/4.x point releases and additional model-family updates are expected in H2 2026, so the 2026 roadmap row below is a partial-year projection rather than a complete list.

AI vendors are evaluated using the standard 🤝 Third Party Management framework:

Risk Assessment: Standard supplier risk methodology applied to AI vendors
Due Diligence: Comprehensive evaluation per third-party management procedures
Contract Management: Standard security requirements and monitoring
Performance Monitoring: Regular supplier assessment and review cycles

Detailed vendor evaluations, risk assessments, and security requirements are managed through the established third-party management process.

📊 Performance Measurement Framework

📈 ISMS Metrics Integration

AI governance performance is measured through 📊 Security Metrics:

Performance Category	ISMS Metric	AI Application	Target Performance
🛡️ Security Effectiveness	Security incident rate	AI-related incidents	Zero incidents
✅ Compliance Status	Regulatory compliance	EU AI Act alignment	100% compliance
🎯 Operational Excellence	Process efficiency	AI integration success	Target achievement
💰 Business Value	ROI measurement	AI business contribution	Positive return
