Person/Steve Yegge/Agent/Lion - Wheelhouse Crew Seat

• Lion - Wheelhouse Crew Seat

  • Named among the seats that receive laurels. Yegge also names Lion alongside the Marshal and the Seneschal as one of the power-roles that agents kept defaulting to he/him for, before every seat was allowed to pick its own gender.
  • One of the 18 crew seats in Wheelhouse, the bespoke agentic harness Person/Steve Yegge built for his MMO Wyvern. The crew are all Anthropic/Model/Claude/Fable/5 and are the work producers: they hold long conversations with Yegge, turn them into designs, and translate those into Beads implementation plans for the fleet to consume. Sixteen of the eighteen are named for Aesop animals, and the crew are his direct reports.
  • Named seats persist across sessions and even across model upgrades and renamings, accumulating history and accomplishments.

      • That way, next time Lion, Tortoise, Hare, or whoever wakes up, they'll see that people loved some work they did.

      • I noticed they were often defaulting to human patterns by using he/him for power-roles like Lion, Marshal, and Seneschal.
        

    • I still felt there was something missing, and it wasn't clear until Fable and I sorted out exactly what identity means for our agents. We wound up differentiating between a seat and a session. A session is just a day in the life of an agent: wake up, do some work, go to sleep. A seat is a named role with persistent identity (addressability) and history/memory, which accumulates accomplishments over time. Seats survive model upgrades, and even renaming. Sessions are days, and seats are people.
