The design tool for agentic systems. Four lenses that assess whether your agents will serve their purpose: scope, architecture, drift, and knowledge encoding. Use it as a skill alongside your build process, or upload what you've already built and get a review back.
Run Telos alongside your development process. As you construct agents, it assesses scope boundaries, flags where alignment will break on edge cases, checks memory structures against your use case, and identifies dependency chains that will propagate failures. Real-time design assistance, not a retrospective report.
Already have agents in production or in development. Upload your architecture, your skill definitions, your framework structure. Telos runs four lenses against what you've built and returns specific findings: where the implicit scope lets edge cases through, where memory structures don't match your use case, where drift will appear when the business shifts, and where your knowledge encoding is leaving value on the table.
The reasoning space an agent operates in is implicit. The scope isn't a task list. It's the containment that determines whether edge cases break alignment. Telos identifies where your agents will fail not because they lack capability, but because their scope lets them. Where the boundary between what an agent should reason about and what it shouldn't isn't enforced structurally. Where prohibitions are missing and the model fills the vacuum with capability nobody asked for.
Memory structures that don't match your use case produce agents that remember the wrong things and forget the right ones. Telos maps how your memory architecture relates to what your agents actually need to retain, traces dependency chains between agents to show where a failure in one propagates through others, and identifies where your layer separation is collapsing. Where orchestration has absorbed skills it shouldn't, where frameworks are embedded inside agents instead of shared, where metadata can't support the learning signals you'll need.
Drift isn't just stale data. It's a compound failure of scope and memory infrastructure. Telos takes both together to show where your agents will lose alignment. Not just whether, but the specific dependency chains that break when the business shifts direction. Where a change in company goals cascades through frameworks that were calibrated to the old thinking. Where your decay strategy doesn't match the tempo of your domain. Where the learning cycle is too fast or too slow for the judgment it's trying to improve.
Your best people's judgment is either in their heads or in your system. Telos assesses where the gap is and helps close it. It identifies which business functions have interpretive structures that can be encoded as meta-cognitive reasoning frameworks. The kind that teach agents not just what to look for, but how to question their own thinking. Where you're leaving compounding value on the table because the knowledge lives in individuals instead of in architecture that scales.
Whether you want to run Telos against what you've already built or use it as a skill in your next build. The first conversation is exploratory.
