The runtime agents

Every Operark organization runs the same 15 named runtime agents: 3 Board, 3 L5 Meta, and 9 C-Suite. You invoke them by their roleKey (for example, AI_CFO).

C-Suite (L4)

These are the executives you interact with most. Each has its own remit, tools, and decision-making temperament.

roleKey	Name	Role
`AI_CEO`	Atlas	Chief Executive Officer — strategy, resource allocation
`AI_CFO`	Nova	Chief Financial Officer — planning, treasury, compliance
`AI_CRO`	Sentinel	Chief Risk Officer — risk, veto authority, governance
`AI_CTO`	Forge	Chief Technology Officer — engineering, architecture
`AI_COO`	Tempo	Chief Operating Officer — operations, people, process
`AI_CMO`	Spark	Chief Marketing Officer — brand, growth
`AI_CPO`	Canvas	Chief Product Officer — product, UX, roadmap
`AI_CRevO`	Vanguard	Chief Revenue Officer — pipeline, partnerships
`AI_CLO`	Shield	Chief Legal Officer — legal, compliance, contracts

L5 — Meta

System-level agents that orchestrate, audit, and respond to incidents.

roleKey	Role
`L5_NEXUS`	Orchestration — routing, workflow, conflict mediation
`L5_PULSE`	Quality & governance — auditing, standards
`L5_ORACLE`	Incident command — anomaly detection, crisis response

Board

Independent oversight, activated for strategic, high-value, and governance matters.

roleKey	Role
`BOARD_CHAIR`	Chairman — independent oversight
`BOARD_AUDIT`	Audit committee — financial & compliance audit
`BOARD_RISK`	Risk committee — enterprise risk oversight

Invoking an agent

Use ask for an advisory answer and decide for a recorded, governed decision:

# Advisory
curl -X POST "$OPERARK_BASE_URL/api/v1/executives/AI_CTO/ask" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERARK_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "message": "Is a managed Postgres or self-hosted right for us at our scale?" }'

Only the 15 runtime agents and platform entrypoints can be invoked directly. Requesting an unknown or non-invocable role returns ROLE_NOT_DIRECTLY_INVOCABLE. Department and execution capabilities run as skill clusters inside their parent C-Suite agent.

Board and certain L5 agents require a higher tier; a blocked call returns a clear code (for example, BOARD_REQUIRES_ENTERPRISE) explaining what is needed.
