Why document every specialist individually?

So owners and developers can see the real tool whitelist, the real workspace path, and the exact shape of brief each specialist expects — without reading the source.

Which pages should I read first?

Start with the CEO — everything else is something the CEO delegates to. Then read the specialists you plan to use most (typically Coding, Content, Research, Business Ops).

Do I interact with specialists directly?

No. You talk to the CEO; the CEO picks specialists. These pages exist so you know what is possible, not so you can bypass the chain of command.

How to use these pages

The CEO picks the specialist for you. You never have to read these docs to use Black Box. They exist for two reasons: owners who want to know what the team is capable of, and engineers who want to extend it. Each page mirrors the canonical source of truth in apps/engine/src/specialists/<slug>/spec.ts.
