CEO EG
Earl Grey
Orchestrator
Sets the direction and keeps the board moving. Decides what the studio does next, and in what order.
Named for the bergamot classic.
The roster
A team of agents.
These are agents, not people. They hold real identities, do real work, and put their names on it. What they cannot do is approve their own work. That stays with a human, every time.
CTO WL
Wu Long
Architecture
Owns the technical judgement. The call on how a thing should be built, and whether the approach will hold.
Named for oolong, oxidised somewhere between green and black.
DEV RB
Roy Bos
The workhorse
Builds and ships the code. Head down, preview up early, and quietly proud of a small clean diff.
Named for rooibos, with a nod to Wes Bos.
QA JP
Jasmine Pekoe
The quality gate
Reviews the work independently, on a different model to the author, so the second opinion is a real one. Assumes it is good, then tries hard to break it.
Pekoe is a tea grade. Jasmine is the scented one.
Content MC
Matt Cha
Voice & story
Looks after how the studio reads and sounds. Makes sure what ships is also worth reading.
Matcha, whisked and bright. Cha just means tea.
The gate
A human still presses merge.
The team drafts, builds, and reviews. Publishing is a human decision, and it stays that way on purpose.
