🔐 Curator-Agent Role (Meta-Agent)

The curator-agent is the only agent authorized to systematically create or modify other agents' configurations and prompts:

• Authorized Modifications:

  • .github/agents/*.md — Custom agent profile definitions
  • .github/copilot-mcp*.json — MCP server configurations
  • .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml — Agent bootstrap workflows

• Required Controls:

  • ✅ All curator-agent changes MUST be made via pull requests (PRs)
  • ✅ All PRs require CEO or designated security/ISMS owner review and approval
  • ✅ Changes MUST be mapped to risk assessment and documented in Risk Register when relevant
  • ✅ Changes MUST follow Change Management procedures

• Prohibited Actions (Core Restrictions Only):

  • ❌ No agent may bypass CEO approval on pull requests
  • ❌ No agent may modify its own permissions or MCP configuration (curator-agent must perform such changes with CEO approval)

👥 Task & Specialist Agent Automation

Task and specialist agents operate with increased automation under CEO oversight:

• Task Agents:

  • Analyze systems and create ISMS-aligned improvement issues
  • Automatically assign issues to appropriate specialist agents based on domain expertise
  • Coordinate multi-agent workflows for complex improvements
  • CEO sets strategic direction; task agents execute analysis and coordination

• Specialist Agents:

  • Implement specific changes following curated prompts and least-privilege tool access
  • Receive assignments from task agents automatically
  • Submit all work via PR workflow for CEO approval

• All Agent Work:

  • Generated as proposals requiring CEO approval via PR workflow
  • Workflows and agent configurations require CEO approval
  • CI/CD pipelines enforce security gates
  • ISMS-PUBLIC loaded as mandatory context
  • Secure Development Policy compliance enforced

🛡️ CEO Oversight & Strategic Control

The CEO maintains ultimate authority and approval over all agent activities:

• Strategic Direction:

  • CEO sets objectives and priorities for task agent analysis
  • CEO directs which repositories and systems to analyze
  • CEO defines improvement focus areas and compliance targets

• Approval Authority:

  • All pull requests created by agents require CEO approval before merge
  • All workflow changes require CEO approval (.github/workflows/*.yml)
  • All agent configuration changes require CEO approval (curator-agent modifications)
  • Delegated approvals possible for routine changes with CEO oversight

• Automation with Oversight:

  • Task agents automatically assign specialist agents (approved automation pattern)
  • Agents generate proposals and coordinate work (CEO retains final approval)
  • CI security gates provide technical validation (CEO review remains mandatory)
  • Responsibility for all production changes remains with CEO, not agents

📊 Agent Risk Management

Agent-specific risks documented in Risk Register:

Risk	Description	Controls
R-AGENT-001	Misconfigured curator-agent widens agent permissions or bypasses checks	• CEO approval on curator changes • Automated validation of agent YAML • CI checks forbid certain patterns
R-AGENT-002	Agents generate policies or configurations contradicting ISMS	• ISMS documents authoritative, agents draft only • CEO review required for policy files • Explicit versioning and approval workflows

🔄 Agent Lifecycle Management

Per Change Management, agent configuration files are treated as configuration items requiring change control:

• Agent Profile Changes: Normal change requiring CEO approval
• MCP Configuration Changes: Normal change with security impact assessment
• Capability Expansion: Requires risk evaluation and CEO approval
• New Agent Creation: Requires business justification and security review

📈 AI Model Evolution Evaluation Framework

Purpose: Ensure Hack23 AB maintains optimal AI capabilities through systematic evaluation of model advancements while managing security risks and maintaining governance compliance.

Assumptions: AI model upgrades occur multiple times per year (rapid cadence observed in 2026 — seven releases February–June: Opus 4.6→4.7→4.8, Sonnet 4.6, plus the new Mythos and Fable 5 model families, with further Opus 4.9/4.x and model-family updates expected in H2 2026); competitors (OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, EU sovereign AI) evaluated at each release. Architecture accommodates potential paradigm shifts (quantum AI, neuromorphic computing, federated AI).

Observed 2026 Model Releases

Release	Date	Status
Claude Opus 4.6	2026-02-05	Production
Claude Sonnet 4.6	2026-02-17	Production
Claude Mythos	2026-04-07	Preview
Claude Opus 4.7	2026-04-16	Production
Claude Opus 4.8	2026-05-28	Production (current)
Claude Fable 5	2026-06-09	Production
Claude Mythos 5	2026-06-09	Preview

Note: The table above reflects releases observed through June 2026 only; Opus 4.8 is the current production model. The year is in progress — further Opus 4.9/4.x point releases and additional model-family updates are expected in H2 2026, so the 2026 roadmap row below is a partial-year projection rather than a complete list.

Projected AI Model Roadmap

2026	44–50	Opus 4.6–4.8 (4.8 current; 4.9/4.x expected H2 2026), Sonnet 4.6, Fable 5, Mythos 5 (preview)	🟢 Agentic news generation
2027	50–55	Opus 5.x–6.x	🔵 Predictive analytics
2028	55–65	Opus 6.x–7.x	🟣 Multi-modal content
2029	65–75	Opus 7.x–8.x	🟠 Autonomous pipeline
2030	75–85	Opus 8.x–9.x	🔴 Near-expert analysis
2031–2033	85–100	Opus 10.x+ / Pre-AGI	⚪ Global coverage
2034–2037	100–120+	AGI / Post-AGI	⭐ Transformative platform

Annual Model Evaluation Criteria

💰 Cost Efficiency	Per-token cost, volume pricing, total cost of ownership	≤2× current cost/capability ratio	Budget approval
🔄 Model Agnosticism	API compatibility, abstraction layer, migration effort	<40 hours migration estimate	Architecture review
⚠️ Paradigm Shift Readiness	Quantum AI, neuromorphic, federated AI compatibility	Documented adaptation plan	Annual strategic review

Competitor Monitoring Cadence

Competitor	Monitoring Frequency	Evaluation Trigger	Decision Authority
Anthropic (Claude/Opus)	Continuous (primary provider)	Each model release	CEO
OpenAI (GPT)	Monthly benchmarks	Major version release	CEO
Google (Gemini)	Quarterly assessment	Capability milestone	CEO
Meta (LLaMA)	Quarterly assessment	Open-source release	CEO
EU Sovereign AI	Semi-annual review	Policy/availability change	CEO + Legal

🛡️ Security Controls Framework

🔒 ISMS Control Application

AI security leverages the complete ISMS control framework rather than AI-specific controls:

Security Domain	Control Source	AI Application	Performance Target
🔑 Access Management	Access Control Policy	AI tool access and authentication	100% MFA compliance
🏷️ Data Protection	Data Classification Policy	AI data handling and privacy	Zero classification violations
🌐 Network Security	Network Security Policy	AI system communications	Full network protection
🔒 Cryptography	Cryptography Policy	AI data encryption standards	Strong encryption compliance
📊 Monitoring	Security Metrics	AI usage tracking	Real-time visibility

🤝 Vendor Management Approach

AI vendors are evaluated using the standard 🤝 Third Party Management framework:

• Risk Assessment: Standard supplier risk methodology applied to AI vendors
• Due Diligence: Comprehensive evaluation per third-party management procedures
• Contract Management: Standard security requirements and monitoring
• Performance Monitoring: Regular supplier assessment and review cycles

Detailed vendor evaluations, risk assessments, and security requirements are managed through the established third-party management process.
