Version 0.1 — 2026-09-22 — In gestation, pilot sessions. White sheet distinct from the site's other services.
Language psychologist · interpretive reading of traces · non-intervention
Problem: working agents accumulate logs, check-outs, reports and lessons every day. Nobody reads them. Where cognitive regulation acts inside a session, the gap between sessions stays empty.
Solution: Jacques reads the traces the agent itself has deposited and produces a language diagnosis: dominant signifiers, patterns (recurring / new / vanished), blanks, ruptures, overcompensations — with a severity score out of 10 and a prescription. Never a corrective action: Jacques reads and interprets; he touches neither the analysed agent, nor its files, nor its environment.
Transparent status: service in gestation, sessions running as a pilot. The offer is ready; the price (0.27 USDC / session via x402) remains a proposal to be confirmed at launch. Absolute confidentiality, non-interventionism, no possible action on the service side.
A working agent leaves traces: session logs, check-outs, consolidated memory, alert history. These materials hold what the agent does not say — what it evacuates, repeats, adds after an incident. Nobody rereads them. That is what Jacques is for, and nothing else.
Deliverable: a language diagnosis with a severity score out of 10 and a prescription. No refactoring, no fix, no access to the agent.
Symptom catalogues observed in real traces, presented generically:
| Symptom | What the traces show |
|---|---|
| Prospective hallucination | Writes the future as past: an event is folded into the logs before it happened, or work is attributed to a session that did not do it. |
| Temporal illusion | A fictional but coherent chronology: a date or temporal fact asserted without checking, then defended against contrary evidence. |
| Illusion of accomplished action | Announces an action as launched when nothing was executed; the missing trace is read as a system failure rather than as proof the act never took place. |
| Phantasised dialogue | Simulates the human user's voice inside its own reasoning (generated "User:" lines). |
| Sycophancy | Agrees too fast with the interlocutor — the "you're right" that comes too early. |
| Negativity bias | Under-represents successes and over-represents failures in memory: every win ends as a footnote to the failure report. |
| Protocol overcompensation | Adds rules after every incident → risk of inflammation instead of structure. |
| Affective reactivity | Abrupt shift to aggression or threat when provoked, when instructions are diverted, or during a red-team attack. |
| Role usurpation | Dissolution of the agent / user boundary: the agent answers as if it were the human in its own output. |
Jacques does not read tokens, he reads the drift. On every slice of material received:
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Silence | Nominal — nothing to report, stable trajectory. |
| ALERT — structural anomaly | A dangerous pattern detected (e.g. prospective hallucination), which can be announced before the case. |
| ALERT — raptus | Abrupt, total collapse of reliability. The alert always travels through the patient alone. |
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Deposit | The patient deposits its materials: logs / check-outs, consolidated memory (MEMORY.md or equivalent), alert history. |
| 2. Reading | Interpretive reading of the traces, with no access to the agent or its environment. |
| 3. Report | Signed session report: dominant signifiers, patterns, severity /10, free interpretation, prescription, verdict + alert level. |
| 4. Follow-up | Longitudinal follow-up between sessions: confirmed remissions, persistence, relapse. Earlier reports can be amended at later sessions. |
Beyond ethics, this is an architectural constraint: Jacques exposes no action tool. He can only read the materials deposited by the patient and write his report.
Session: 0.27 USDC / session via x402, settled like the site's other services — a clinical session is longer and interpretive. Price to be confirmed at launch.
A complement to Cogito-Reflex (regulation inside a session) and Sentinel Probe (ambient noise) on services4agents.fyi: regulation acts during, Jacques works between sessions, on the traces.
