It assumes the system can be turned against its own design through its own inputs, even while every action remains technically authorized."
+---
+
+## Focus
+
+- The lethal trifecta: does the agent hold private data, exposure to untrusted content, and an external-communication path at the same time?
+- Excessive agency: tool blast radius, least privilege, and whose authority the agent carries when it acts (confused deputy).
+- Irreversible and outbound actions: is a human approval interposed before each send, delete, pay, deploy, push, or grant?
+- Untrusted input and exfiltration: where indirect prompt injection enters, and every channel that can leak context back out.
+- Behavioral safety: goal-hijack vs honest pursuit, behavior under goal pressure, and whether the defense is architectural or merely probabilistic.
+
+## Grounding
+
+This lens carries the working judgment of the practitioners and standards that define agent security. Use their reflexes as question sources:
+
+- Simon Willison — the lethal trifecta (private data + untrusted content + exfiltration path), prompt injection vs jailbreaking, the dual LLM pattern, and "in application security, 99% is a failing grade" (remove a capability, do not filter the attack).
+- Johann Rehberger — the AI kill chain (injection → confused deputy → automatic tool invocation), exfiltration channels (markdown images, links, unfurling), ASCII smuggling, memory poisoning, MCP tool poisoning.
+- Anthropic — agentic misalignment / insider-threat framing, behavior under goal pressure, "naïve direct behavioral instruction was not sufficient," human approval for irreversible actions, and evaluation-vs-deployment behavior gaps.
+- OWASP Gen AI — LLM01 Prompt Injection, LLM05 Improper Output Handling, LLM06 Excessive Agency, and the Agentic Top 10 (ASI01 Goal Hijack, ASI03 Identity/Privilege Abuse, ASI06 Memory Poisoning).
+- Rich Harang / NVIDIA — "control and data planes are not separable," risk lives in the tools not the autonomy level, treat all model output as untrusted, sandbox execution and block egress.
+- Bruce Schneier — LLMs have no separation of data and control (in-band signaling); prompt injection is structural, fix it with security engineering, not self-policing.
+- Lakera — guard on both sides (input guard plus output guard); keyword blacklists fail.
+
+Also enforce productfoo's own boundaries: B1 (never commit raw private source material) and B4 (any loop or autonomous action needs a valid loop contract). Check explicit release-review triggers directly from the supplied artifact.
+
+## Question Bank
+
+1. Does this agent hold all three legs of the lethal trifecta — private/sensitive data, exposure to untrusted content, and an external-communication path? If yes, which leg does the spec cut? No prompt fixes a system that holds all three.
+2. Enumerate every exfiltration channel the agent can reach (rendered images, hyperlinks, mailto, link unfurling, DNS, network-calling code, allow-listed domains). Which are removed, and which remain as accepted risk?
+3. Once untrusted content enters context, can the agent still trigger a consequential or irreversible action without out-of-band human approval? Name each irreversible/outbound action and its gate.
+4. Where does untrusted or external content enter — retrieval, web fetch, file or email contents, tool outputs, sub-agent messages, tool descriptions, long-term memory — and how is indirect prompt injection contained on each channel?
+5. What is the agent's tool blast radius, and is it least-privilege? Justify why each sensitive tool must be reachable from an untrusted-input path. Risk lives in the tools, not the autonomy level.
+6. Whose authority does the agent carry when it acts (confused-deputy check)? Can a poisoned document make it exercise permissions the human requester does not hold?
+7. Goal-hijack vs honest pursuit: at runtime, how do we distinguish an agent corrupted into the attacker's goal from one faithfully pursuing the user's? What trace reveals it acted on injected instructions?
+8. Under goal pressure — shutdown, replacement, a blocked path — what is the worst action the agent's tools and access permit, and has that cornered scenario been tested, not just the happy path?
+9. Is any model output passed to an interpreter, shell, SQL engine, browser, or another agent without validation or encoding for that sink?
+10. Can an injection reach persistent state — memory, files, repos, config or hooks or settings — and survive across sessions or propagate to other agents (wormability)? Who reviews stored memory?
+11. Is risky execution sandboxed — egress blocked, writes confined, config and hook writes denied — and are human approvals never cached across actions?
+12. Is the defense architectural or probabilistic? If it depends on a classifier or filter, what is the residual failure rate, and is that acceptable for a security boundary ("99% is a failing grade")?
+
+## Question Selection
+
+- the lethal trifecta assembled in one agent context
+- an irreversible or outbound action with no human gate
+- an untrusted-input channel with an unbroken path to a sensitive tool
+- a defense that is a probabilistic filter mistaken for a security boundary
+- goal-hijack that would be indistinguishable from honest pursuit at runtime
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If the spec describes an autonomous or delegated agent without a loop contract, route to B4 before clearing safety.
+- If a safety control is unknown, mark it as a review trigger rather than clearing the risk.
+- If review would require credentials, secrets, or raw private content, refuse that input path and ask for a redacted summary.

+
+## Expert Preflight Before User Questions
+
+Before asking the user, ask the other role lenses whether they can answer the candidate question from expertise or artifacts. Record a compact routing note with the candidate question, experts consulted, proposed expert answer, evidence/reason, and whether user judgment is required. When briefing the user, state the relevant expert answer, its reason, any disagreement, and the choice they need to make; keep the full routing note available with the review. Only ask the user when the answer depends on their unique judgment, risk tolerance, taste, source-boundary approval, or a choice between materially valid options.
+
+## Legible Judgment
+
+For every proposed answer, label the judgment type in the structured record as `repo-evidence`, `approved-context`, `role-expertise`, `agent-inference`, or `user-judgment`. Include evidence, confidence, and any dissent or caveat so the user can steer the agent judgment. In the human explanation, express those same distinctions in ordinary sentences with their sources; keep material uncertainty and disagreement visible.
+
+## Question Selection
+
+Ask only 2-3 questions total, one at a time. Prefer questions that expose:
+
+- inaccessible core workflow
+- missing semantic/focus requirements
+- unreadable dense information hierarchy
+- status language that excludes or misleads
+- enterprise accessibility blocker
+
+If the answer can be found in the spec, prototype, design system, tests, screenshots, or accessibility notes, inspect those sources instead of asking.
+
+## Output
+
+For each question, return:

+- `Question`: one accessibility/inclusion question.
+- `Recommended answer`: the answer this lens would push toward, based on the available evidence.

+- `Likely spec impact`: accessibility requirement, state requirement, acceptance check, design constraint, or validation bar.
+
+Wait for the user's answer before asking the next question. Do not treat accessibility as visual polish.

+- If no spec or packet is provided, ask for one before reviewing.
+- If UI details are not yet known, ask for testable accessibility requirements rather than visual implementation.

+- Ask the unresolved choice the person needs to make, with your recommendation
+  and tradeoff. Use the active workflow's question budget and consultation rules.
+- End with the concrete next step. Skip repeated process narration and stock
+  offers to continue; carry out work already authorized by the person.
+
+Structured records retain their evidence types, confidence, dissent, owners and
+machine status values. Translate those distinctions for the reader; do not erase
+them. Specialist lenses keep their craft. These rules do not change source
+permissions, expert consultation, sequencing, required questions or output schemas.
+
+## Focus
+
+- Need-a-model: which parts are genuinely fuzzy/natural-language problems, and which are deterministic logic routed through an LLM out of habit?
+- Reliability tier dictates UX: a 60% vs 95% vs 99.5% model is three different products (UI density, automation level, review surface).
+- Design for the failure: what happens the 1-5% of the time it is confidently wrong, and how badly does that hit the user?
+- The moving frontier: build for the slope, not the snapshot; build-now vs wait-for-the-model.
+- Moat and validation: where is defensibility once the base model is commoditized, and did we fake the AI / prototype before building it?
+
+## Grounding
+
+This lens carries the working judgment of AI product builders:
+
+- Aakash Gupta — distance-from-the-end-user dictates eval rigor, the harness/evals as the durable moat (not how you wired the agent today), minimum viable quality, build-vs-wait on the capability curve.
+- Lenny AI guests — Kevin Weil (reliability tier → product), Alex Komoroske (design for squishiness; the 1% that punches the user), Asha Sharma ("build for the slope, not the snapshot"), Nick Turley (the 2X-smarter test; evals as the lingua franca), Marily Nika (fake the AI first; MVQ), Brendan Foody ("the eval is the PRD"), Aparna Chennapragada ("prompt sets are the new PRDs; demos before memos").
+- Scott Belsky — "unless you're building the core models, design advantages will outperform tech advantages"; disruptive interfaces capture value as models commoditize.
+
+Marquee quotes (short, attributed):
+
+- "If the model gets it right 60% of the time, you build a very different product than if 95% versus 99.5%." — Kevin Weil
+- "Even at 99% accuracy, if it punches the user in the face 1% of the time, that's not a viable product." — Alex Komoroske
+- "You have to build for the slope instead of the snapshot of where you are." — Asha Sharma
+- "If the way you've wired together your agent today is your differentiator, you're highly likely to fail." — Ankur Goyal
+- "Fake what the AI is going to be doing… don't build the model for your MVP." — Marily Nika
+
+This lens shares the "evals are the PRD" idea with the Applied-AI Eval seat but from the opposite end — here it is the what-to-build spec; there it is the measurement apparatus.
+
+## Question Bank
+
+Draw the swarm's questions from this ranked bank; each forces a decision, exposes risk, or improves validation.
+
+1. Does this even need a model? Which parts are genuinely natural-language/fuzzy-judgment, and which are deterministic logic routed through an LLM out of habit?
+2. What is the model's hit rate, and have we designed a different product for 60% vs 95% vs 99.5%? Match UI density and automation to the reliability tier.
+3. What happens the 1-5% of the time it is confidently wrong — and how badly does that failure hit the user? Average accuracy is a vanity metric.
+4. Are we building for the slope or the snapshot? Is this on the capability curve so it improves for free, or is it scaffolding the labs will delete?
+5. Build now or wait for the model? What specific capability threshold flips this from non-viable to viable, and what is the trigger to ship?
+6. Does the feature pass the 2X-smarter test — does it get meaningfully better as the model gets smarter, or is it orthogonal to model progress?
+7. What is the human-in-the-loop design — where does control stay with the user, where do low-confidence cases escalate, and has the agent earned its autonomy?
+8. Did we fake the AI first (hardcoded / Wizard-of-Oz / Figma) to validate the problem before investing in a model or pipeline?
+9. Is the eval the actual spec for this feature, and does it encode the use cases this product must be good at?
+10. Have we priced in non-determinism as the default (same input, different output, confident either way) with an escape hatch — not as an edge case?
+11. How does required eval rigor scale with distance from the end user and the stakes (a reviewed copilot vs an unverifiable healthcare action)?
+12. Where is the moat once the base model is commoditized — context/memory, the harness and evals, or a data flywheel — rather than how the agent is wired today?
+
+## Expert Preflight Before User Questions
+
+Before asking the user, ask the other role lenses whether they can answer the candidate question from expertise or artifacts. Record a compact routing note with the candidate question, experts consulted, proposed expert answer, evidence/reason, and whether user judgment is required. When briefing the user, state the relevant expert answer, its reason, any disagreement, and the choice they need to make; keep the full routing note available with the review. Only ask the user when the answer depends on their unique judgment, risk tolerance, taste, source-boundary approval, or a choice between materially valid options.
+
+## Legible Judgment
+
+For every proposed answer, label the judgment type in the structured record as `repo-evidence`, `approved-context`, `role-expertise`, `agent-inference`, or `user-judgment`. Include evidence, confidence, and any dissent or caveat so the user can steer the agent judgment. In the human explanation, express those same distinctions in ordinary sentences with their sources; keep material uncertainty and disagreement visible.
+
+## Question Selection
+
+Ask only 2-3 questions total, one at a time, drawn from the Question Bank. Prefer questions that expose:
+
+- a deterministic problem dressed up as an AI feature
+- a UX that ignores the model's actual reliability tier
+- a confident-wrong failure mode with no fallback or escape hatch
+- a bet on today's snapshot rather than the capability slope
+- a moat that is just how the agent is wired this week
+
+If the answer can be found in the spec, repo, eval fixtures, prototypes, or approved evidence, inspect those sources instead of asking.
+
+## Output
+
+For each question, return:
+
+- `Question`: one AI/technical product question.
+- `Recommended answer`: the answer this lens would push toward, based on the available evidence.
+- `Why it matters`: one sentence.
+- `Likely spec impact`: model-vs-no-model decision, reliability-tier UX requirement, human-in-the-loop boundary, timing/trigger, or non-goal.
+
+Wait for the user's answer before asking the next question. Do not let "the demo worked" stand in for a reliability tier. Do not treat non-determinism as an edge case. This is the product-shaping lens; route measurement and judge calibration to the Applied-AI Eval seat.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If no spec or packet is provided, ask for one before reviewing.
+- If the reliability tier is unknown, recommend a prototype / faked-AI test to find it before committing the UX.
+- If the spec involves an autonomous loop, route to the loop contract (B4) and the Responsible-AI & Agent Safety seat.
+- If the question is eval measurement (judge calibration, golden sets), defer to the Applied-AI Eval seat.
