Built-in presets

You can use built-in presets to give agents a role without hand-selecting hundreds of flags. Presets are source-defined permission sets; board overrides can restrict them further.

Preset matrix

Full Control

Full Control has every current flag enabled. Use it for solo development, local evaluation, or trusted operators. Do not use it as the default for multi-agent boards because it removes role separation.

Spec

Spec owns ideation, refinement, spec content, sprint planning, and card breakdown. It does not submit validation gates. Use it for the agent that investigates and writes the contract.

Executor

Executor implements normal cards. It can move card work through not_started -> started -> in_progress -> validation, but it cannot submit task validation or promote validation to done.

QA

QA owns test scenarios and test-card lifecycle. It reads specs, asks questions, and manages test evidence, but it does not submit validation gates.

Validator

Validator is the exclusive gate-holder. It submits spec validation, sprint evaluation, and task validation. On cards, it only operates in validation status and routes work to done or back for rework.

Reporter and Sprint Manager

Reporter is read-heavy and useful for stakeholders or status agents. Sprint Manager owns sprint lifecycle and coordination without taking over implementation or validation.

Choosing the right preset

Gate submission is intentionally concentrated in Validator. If Executor can submit its own validation, validation becomes another status label instead of independent evidence.
