AI Agents Don't Need Human Org Charts
The industry copies human roles onto AI—Dev agent, BA agent, QA agent. But AI agents don't have human limitations. The real problem is governance.
Why Not Dev / BA / DA / QA?
Traditional roles exist because humans have cognitive limitations. AI agents don't share these constraints. Creating 10 specialized agents is solving a problem that doesn't exist—and creating orchestration complexity that does.
Only one row says “Yes”—self-review bias. That's the problem SidStack solves.
Governance-First, Not Orchestration
Traditional Multi-Agent
SidStack Governance
A Worker with the frontend specialty loading implement/feature.md is your “Frontend Dev.” The same Worker loading design/api.md becomes your “API Architect.” No new agent needed—just a different skill file.
The Learning Loop
Most AI agent frameworks start every session from zero. SidStack captures mistakes, extracts lessons, creates reusable skills, and enforces rules—so the same error never happens twice.
Incident
Agent makes a mistake or encounters confusion
Lesson
Root cause analyzed, prevention documented
Skill
Reusable procedure created from lessons
Rule
Mandatory check enforced for future sessions
Each step is role-aware. A Worker's frontend mistake becomes a lesson that improves future frontend tasks.
Quality Gate by Design
The #1 Risk: Self-Review Bias
When an LLM reviews its own code, it tends to confirm its own reasoning—just like humans. Hallucinations pass self-review. Security flaws go unnoticed. This is the fundamental risk of AI-generated code, and no amount of specialized roles fixes it if the same agent implements and reviews.
SidStack's Solution: Enforced Separation
Worker implements. Reviewer verifies. They are architecturally separate—not the same agent wearing different hats. The Reviewer gets independent skills with structured checklists:
Code Review
Correctness, quality, dead code, naming
Security Review
OWASP Top 10, injection, auth, secrets
Performance Review
N+1 queries, data structures, complexity
