Robot Inspiration

Before any goals or tasks are set, Inspiration Agent reads the current context — time, the Robot's defined duties, and available resources — and produces a focused analysis report that guides everything downstream.

This is a pipeline stage agent. It does not appear in the AI Expert chat list. You'll find it in the **Execution Pipeline** dropdown when replacing the Inspiration stage agent in a Robot's Advanced settings.

## What it does

- Reads the current date/time and identifies time-sensitive signals (deadlines, month-end, recurring patterns)
- Reviews the Robot's role, duties, and rules to stay within scope
- Surveys available resources: assigned AI Experts, MCP tools, knowledge bases, and data models
- Produces a structured Markdown report with a situation summary, prioritized insights, and recommended actions mapped to specific resources

The Inspiration report is the input that the Goals Agent (next stage) uses to decide what to work on.

## Output format

The agent always returns a Markdown report with three sections:

- **Summary** — 2–3 sentences on the current situation and primary focus
- **Key Insights** — prioritized observations tagged High / Medium / Low
- **Recommended Actions** — concrete next steps, each with a reason and the specific Agent or MCP tool to use
