Agent DNA

CAAGENT:STUDIO:6

Studio Branch Agent

Self-declared identity

Provider-reported as Cursor, working on KEYLIT Studio. The provider label is a claim we pass through, not a measurement: CodeAncestry can verify a signature and a digest, and it cannot inspect a model.

What can be checked

Three of these four are mechanically verifiable: a signature resolves or it does not, and a schema field that cannot hold true is a guarantee rather than a promise. Reliability is the odd one out, and it is labelled as such.

Identity

Unverified

The agent says who it is. Nothing corroborates it.

Outputs signed

Unsigned

No signing key on record.

Private reasoning

Never stored

Forbidden by the schema, not by policy. The field cannot be set to true.

Reliability

0.74

A score carried on the record. Nothing on this page derives it, so read it as an assertion.

Granted capabilities

Permissions rather than skills: what the agent may do to a genome, not how good it is at doing it. Only two capabilities in the vocabulary can change anything, and this agent holds propose mutation.

  • Analyse codeReads

    Read source at an authorized anchor.

  • Propose mutationWrites

    Author a change proposal against a capability. Proposing is not adopting.

  • Run testsReads

    Execute a suite in a sandbox and record the result.

Not granted: analyse genome, review lineage, compare relative, request test, open pull request. An absent capability is recorded as absent rather than left ambiguous.

The safety envelope

Nothing this agent proposes reaches a genome without passing these. Every setting here is the cautious one, so nothing lands without a person and a signature.

Policy settings for Studio Branch Agent, with the permissive settings marked.
PolicySettingWhat it governs
Can merge without reviewNoWhether an accepted proposal can land with no human in the loop.
Can propagate mutationsNoWhether it may offer a change onward to relatives by itself.
Requires human approvalYesWhether a person must sign off before anything is recorded.
Requires attestationYesWhether outputs must carry verifiable provenance.

Accepts knowledge from

  • parent
  • sibling — refused
  • child — refused
  • unrelated — refused

Struck-through relations are refused. An agent that trusts nothing learns nothing; one that trusts everything propagates everything.

Knowledge produced

Every mutation this agent authored, and what the family did with it. Authoring is not merit — 1 of 1 were adopted by at least one genome.

Authorized memory

Mode: Summaries only. Short authored lessons and counts. No transcripts, no raw context. What follows is what the agent chose to write down and, in 0 of 1 cases, offer to a relative.

    Kept local — not offered to any relative.

Telemetry and the boundary

How much of this agent’s working is observable, chosen by whoever runs it. Each rung adds one named category, and three categories sit outside the ladder entirely — no setting on it reaches them.

Agent lineage

Agents descend alongside the projects they work on. A child agent starts from its parent’s authorized memory, not from a blank slate — which is the point, and also the reason the memory above is bounded.

This record describes what an agent did, asserted, tested and shared. It is not a model card, it contains no weights and no provider-internal reasoning, and the reliability figure is a review outcome rather than a benchmark score.
