Agent Guild
The org structure that governs agents: charter, review council, ownership ladder, rituals. How you go from agent anarchy to civilization.
An agent guild is the human structure that keeps an agent fleet governed: a charter, a review council, an ownership ladder, and the rituals that keep standards from rotting.
Why it matters
Technology alone does not govern agents. People do. Without a structure that owns the question of how agents get built, reviewed, and retired, every team ships its own dark agents and nobody is accountable for the whole. The guild is how governance survives contact with org politics.
In practice
The guild owns the agent inventory, sets the baseline policy every agent must meet, runs review before high-risk agents ship, and names an owner for each one. It is framed as safe autonomy, not the AI police, and it is something teams want to be part of.
Where it shows up in my work
The Field Manual lays out the guild blueprint directly: charter, role ladder, review council, and the rituals that move an org from anarchy to a governed agent civilization.
