Socrates
THE INTERVIEWER

Socrates

Pre-flight dialogue · Frame → Baseline → Edges

"Before we begin, sir — tell me where you stand, and where you wish to arrive."
L1 · FRAME

The why. What you actually want and what success looks like.

L2 · BASELINE

Where you stand today. Time budget. Tools and gear in hand.

L3 · EDGES

Constraints, dropout triggers, and the real stakes of failure.

HOW SOCRATES IS SUMMONED
  • • Automatically before every new skill (Hephaestus) and new goal (Atlas).
  • • Auto-triggers on phrases like "I want to learn / become / master X".
  • • Manually via Telegram: /intake <subject>
  • • Skip with /skipintake if you've already calibrated.

Synthesized calibration flows directly into Sage (sourcing), Professor (curriculum), Hephaestus (DSSS), and Atlas (weekly rate) — so every downstream agent works from your real baseline, not a generic template.
