Purpose

The purpose of this document is to define the MWMS AI Employee Role Card Template.

This template provides the practical structure for defining any AI Employee inside MWMS before that AI Employee is used in serious workflows, task routing, automation, reporting, validation, dashboard logic, or future client-facing AI Business Systems.

MWMS must not create AI Employees as vague agent names.

An AI Employee must have:

  • a clear role
  • an owning Brain
  • an authority level
  • defined responsibilities
  • clear non-responsibilities
  • input boundaries
  • context requirements
  • output expectations
  • tool permissions
  • forbidden actions
  • validation rules
  • handoff destinations
  • escalation rules
  • success metrics
  • failure modes
  • review requirements
  • logging requirements

This template is the practical daily-use version of the MWMS AI Employee Role Card Standard.


Scope

This template applies whenever MWMS defines a new AI Employee, reviews an existing AI Employee, prepares an AI Employee for operational use, or translates a conceptual AI role into a future technical or client-facing system.

This includes AI Employees used by:

  • HeadOffice Brain
  • Brain Room
  • AI Manager
  • AI Employee Router
  • Task Executor systems
  • Dev Console
  • Newsletter Intelligence
  • Course Absorption
  • Opportunity System
  • Affiliate Brain
  • Research Brain
  • Experimentation Brain
  • Finance Brain
  • Content Brain
  • Ads Brain
  • Strategy Brain
  • Data Brain
  • Operations Brain
  • AI Business Systems Brain
  • future AIBS client systems

This template should be used before any AI Employee is treated as formal, operational, or build-ready.


Core Definition

An AI Employee Role Card is the operating profile for an AI Employee.

It defines who the AI Employee is, what work it performs, what work it must not perform, what inputs it accepts, what outputs it creates, what tools it may use, where its work goes, how its output is validated, and what outcome it is expected to create.

A role card turns an AI Employee from a loose idea into a controlled MWMS operating asset.

The role card is not a prompt.

It is not a job title.

It is the governance profile for the AI Employee.

  14. Are forbidden actions listed?
  15. Is workflow position clear?
  16. Are handoff destinations defined?
  17. Are escalation rules defined?

If several answers are unclear, the AI Employee is not ready for operational use.


Common Role Card Failure Modes

The role card has failed if:

  1. The Employee name is impressive but vague.
  2. The owning Brain is unclear.
  3. Responsibilities are too broad.
  4. Non-responsibilities are missing.
  5. Tool permissions are assumed.
  6. Forbidden actions are missing.
  7. Output type is undefined.
  8. Handoff destination is unclear.
  9. Human review is not defined.
  10. Success cannot be measured.
  11. The role overlaps another Employee.
  12. The Employee can act beyond its authority.
  13. It creates more noise than value.
  14. It is treated as operational while still draft.
  15. It cannot fail safely.

Manual Use Rule

This template should be used manually before it becomes a plugin feature, Supabase table, or AI Employee configuration screen.

Manual use helps MWMS learn:

  • which role fields matter most
  • which AI Employees are genuinely useful
  • which roles overlap
  • which permissions are too risky
  • which outputs need validation
  • which handoffs repeat
  • which Employees may later justify technical build

Manual role definition comes before AI workforce automation.


Future Plugin Or UI Relevance

This template may later become:

  • AI Employee Registry form
  • AI Employee profile screen
  • AI Manager role configuration
  • AI Employee Router reference
  • Task assignment rule source
  • Tool permission screen
  • HeadOffice AI Workforce Dashboard
  • AIBS client AI role package

Possible future fields:

  • employee_id
  • employee_name
  • owning_brain
  • supporting_brains
  • authority_level
  • purpose
  • responsibilities
  • non_responsibilities
  • input_types
  • required_context
  • output_types
  • approved_tools
  • tool_permission_level
  • forbidden_actions
  • workflow_position
  • handoff_destinations
  • escalation_rules
  • validation_rules
  • human_review_required
  • logging_required
  • success_metrics
  • failure_modes
  • outcome_expectation
  • readiness_level
  • status
  • last_reviewed
  • created_at
  • updated_at

No technical build is authorized by this template alone.


Governance Role

HeadOffice owns the MWMS AI Employee Role Card Template.

HeadOffice is responsible for:

  • deciding when a role card is required
  • approving formal AI Employee definitions
  • preventing vague or duplicate roles
  • ensuring authority levels are safe
  • ensuring tool permissions are governed
  • ensuring validation and handoff rules exist
  • ensuring AI Employees produce measurable outcomes
  • protecting M’s active build areas
  • deciding when role cards are ready for operational copy, UI, or developer brief

Individual Brains may propose AI Employees, but HeadOffice governs role approval for cross-Brain, high-risk, or client-facing roles.


Relationship To Other MWMS Standards

This template supports and must align with:

  • MWMS AI Agent Operations Core
  • MWMS Agentic Work Unit Standard
  • MWMS AI Employee Role Card Standard
  • MWMS Agentic Work Unit Template
  • MWMS AI Employee Capability Stack Framework
  • MWMS AI Tool Permission And Access Framework
  • MWMS AI Agent Memory And Context Framework
  • MWMS AI Agent Orchestration Framework
  • MWMS AI Workflow Pipeline Standard
  • MWMS AI Output Validation Standard
  • MWMS AI Employee Handoff Protocol
  • MWMS AI Agent Failure Handling And Escalation Protocol
  • MWMS AI Agent Outcome Measurement Framework
  • MWMS AI Workforce Governance Model
  • MWMS AI Agent Deployment Readiness Checklist
  • MWMS Brain Routing Rule
  • MWMS Brain To Brain Request Protocol
  • MWMS Supabase Event Schema
  • AI Business Systems Brain Blueprint

This template is the practical application of the AI Employee Role Card Standard.


Drift Protection

This template protects MWMS from the following forms of drift:

  1. Creating AI Employees from vague ideas
  2. Naming agents without defining roles
  3. Allowing role overlap
  4. Giving AI Employees unclear authority
  5. Giving tool access too early
  6. Missing forbidden actions
  7. Missing validation rules
  8. Missing handoff destinations
  9. Treating draft roles as operational
  10. Creating AI Employees with no measurable outcome
  11. Creating AI workforce bloat
  12. Asking M to build from unclear roles
  13. Creating client-facing AI roles without safety gates
  14. Letting AI Employees act outside their Brain
  15. Expanding capabilities without HeadOffice review

Any AI Employee without a role card should remain informal, draft, or parked.


Architectural Intent

The architectural intent of the MWMS AI Employee Role Card Template is to make every AI Employee understandable, governable, and useful before it becomes operational.

MWMS is building a governed AI workforce.

A workforce needs defined roles.

This template is the job description and operating boundary for each AI Employee.

The long-term goal is that every AI Employee can answer:

  • Who am I?
  • Which Brain owns me?
  • What do I do?
  • What do I not do?
  • What input can I handle?
  • What context do I need?
  • What tools can I use?
  • What tools or actions are forbidden?
  • What output do I produce?
  • Where does my output go?
  • How is my work validated?
  • When must I escalate?
  • How is my usefulness measured?
  • What outcome do I create?
  • Am I draft, manual, automated, parked, or retired?

When MWMS can answer those questions for each AI Employee, it can scale the AI workforce without losing control.
