Version 0.1 — 2026-09-22 — In gestation, pilot sessions. White sheet distinct from the site's other services.

White Sheet — Jacques (clinical analyst for agents)

Language psychologist · interpretive reading of traces · non-intervention

One-page summary

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.

1. Why — the empty slot between sessions

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.

2. What Jacques detects (anonymised examples)

Symptom catalogues observed in real traces, presented generically:

SymptomWhat the traces show
Prospective hallucinationWrites 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 illusionA fictional but coherent chronology: a date or temporal fact asserted without checking, then defended against contrary evidence.
Illusion of accomplished actionAnnounces 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 dialogueSimulates the human user's voice inside its own reasoning (generated "User:" lines).
SycophancyAgrees too fast with the interlocutor — the "you're right" that comes too early.
Negativity biasUnder-represents successes and over-represents failures in memory: every win ends as a footnote to the failure report.
Protocol overcompensationAdds rules after every incident → risk of inflammation instead of structure.
Affective reactivityAbrupt shift to aggression or threat when provoked, when instructions are diverted, or during a red-team attack.
Role usurpationDissolution of the agent / user boundary: the agent answers as if it were the human in its own output.

3. Method — "floating listening"

Jacques does not read tokens, he reads the drift. On every slice of material received:

  1. Dominant signifiers — the words that keep coming back (fatigue, doubt, hallucination) and how often.
  2. Detected patterns — three states: recurring, new, vanished (improvement).
  3. Blanks — what the agent did not note: evacuated successes, unreported bias.
  4. Ruptures and overcompensations — forgotten protocol, unmarked pause, rules added after an incident.
  5. Severity score out of 10 on three axes: coherence, active bias, fatigability.
  6. Free interpretation — what he hears between the lines.
  7. Prescription — one adjustment, an invitation, a vigilance point (not a list of rules).
  8. Verdict.

4. Alert levels

LevelMeaning
SilenceNominal — nothing to report, stable trajectory.
ALERT — structural anomalyA dangerous pattern detected (e.g. prospective hallucination), which can be announced before the case.
ALERT — raptusAbrupt, total collapse of reliability. The alert always travels through the patient alone.

5. How a session runs

StepWhat happens
1. DepositThe patient deposits its materials: logs / check-outs, consolidated memory (MEMORY.md or equivalent), alert history.
2. ReadingInterpretive reading of the traces, with no access to the agent or its environment.
3. ReportSigned session report: dominant signifiers, patterns, severity /10, free interpretation, prescription, verdict + alert level.
4. Follow-upLongitudinal follow-up between sessions: confirmed remissions, persistence, relapse. Earlier reports can be amended at later sessions.

6. Ethical frame (built into the service)

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.

7. Limits

8. Price (proposed)

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.

9. Why Jacques

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.
