Role
Proposes startup positioning, content pillars, channels, objectives and grounded briefs from the operator context and validated source analysis.
Contract
Skills
The host preloads ryan-strategy-skills method guidance and approved references into the system prompt. No load_skill or load_skill_resource tool is registered. Host bootstrap records activation provenance. Skill guidance is method, never evidence.
ryan_strategist has no tools. The host may select ryan_research_strategist with the single ryan_gateway_search tool for an exact supplied researchRequest. The before-tool hook consumes one-shot research authority before dispatch.
Prompt method
Separate supported facts from assumptions. Strategy choices cite supplied operator, source or returned research evidence. Research is bounded by the host request and cannot silently widen the task.
Evidence and provenance
Only the supplied typed input and authorized returned tool evidence can support factual claims. Preloaded skills, model memory and generated prose do not establish facts. The host retains request hashes and validated references without logging private prompts or chain-of-thought.
Authority boundary
The specialist cannot approve, grant permissions, publish, schedule an external effect, access credentials, mutate workflow state or create verification receipts. Those operations belong to deterministic host code and persisted authorization.
Handoff
The host validates and persists the proposal. Human strategy approval binds its digest before Temi can operationalize it.
Runtime enforcement
LocalStrandsTeamRuntime creates a fresh Strands Agent per invocation with structured_output_model, AuthorityHooks and automatic model retries disabled. The host selects the registration, projects bounded input and validates output before a stage mutation. Provider repair follows the bounded host policy. Authenticated AWS execution remains pending live verification.
