Agents runtime names
Decode the public, internal, and legacy agent identifiers that may appear in raw logs or older pipeline data.
What this means
Most Bilbis screens show public agent labels - Work Planner, Implementation Agent, Review Agent, and so on. The same agents have older identifiers that still surface in raw telemetry, exports, diagnostics, and pre-rebrand pipeline rows. The customer-facing UI maps every form to the public label automatically, so this page is only useful when you're reading raw values.
Three identifier generations exist:
- Public label - what end users see in the timeline, header, and clarification badges.
- Internal role - the role name agents stored on rows post-Kairos→Bilbis rebrand.
- Legacy codename - the original Greek-mythology codename pre-rebrand.
Identifier decoder
| Public label | Internal role | Legacy codename | What the role does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work Planner | Tech Lead | Zeus | Owns the overall plan and higher-level decisions. Also runs the Planner pass that decomposes a task into file-level steps. |
| Work Planner | Tech Lead | Artemis | Legacy escalation handler mapped to Tech Lead, then to Work Planner. |
| Repo Router | Project Lead | Hermes | Reads the task, routes the work, and decides how to split it. |
| Implementation Agent | Senior Engineer | Hephaestus | Writes code and addresses review feedback. |
| Review Agent | Code Reviewer | Athena | Reviews the diff and extracts reusable feedback. |
| Test Runner | QA Engineer | Argus | Runs tests and checks quality. |
| PR Publisher | Release Manager | Olympus | Handles push, merge, and final delivery steps. |
| Runtime Worker | DevOps Engineer | Titan | Handles infrastructure-flavored work and build configuration. |
Backend now ships a displayAgent field on timeline rows that already contains the public label. Bilbis uses it directly when present; otherwise it falls back to mapping the internal role or legacy codename locally.
Clarification slugs
Clarification records use snake_case role slugs internally. The public clarification badge maps them to the same public labels.
| Runtime slug | Public label |
|---|---|
tech_lead | Work Planner |
project_lead | Repo Router |
senior_engineer | Implementation Agent |
code_reviewer | Review Agent |
qa_engineer | Test Runner |
release_manager | PR Publisher |
devops_engineer | Runtime Worker |
planner | Work Planner |
Older clarification rows may use lowercase legacy values such as hephaestus or athena. Bilbis normalizes those to the public label automatically.
When you might need this
Use this page when:
- A support reply mentions a raw agent value.
- An older pipeline log includes a Greek codename.
- A clarification shows an internal
askedByAgentvalue. - You are comparing old and new pipeline records.
You do not need these names for normal day-to-day use.
