Internal Agents Map

Sphera / Atlas / Morphex

An internal agent system on Amazon Bedrock with agent identities, assigned managers, and evaluation scores. Atlas prepares feature changes; Morphex can merge and ship changes that pass the required checks without human review.

How it works

Sphera agent feature task from an inbox trigger to production ship; Morphex merges autonomously above the confidence threshold while Atlas requests human review after the sandbox gate.

Receive a task from one of three inboxes

A Slack @mention, monday item assignment, or GitHub PR review request lands in the same agent session through SNS and a per-team SQS queue[Source 1]

Implement the feature task

The agent picks up tickets, writes the PR, and ships the feature from the same backlog as human teammates[Source 1]

Auto-deploy the PR to a remote sandbox

Every PR auto-deploys to a per-session remote sandbox; tests, checks, and replayed production traffic run before any human review[Source 1]

Merge above the confidence threshold

PRs above the confidence-score threshold merge automatically after passing every gate and ship to production with no human in the loop; below-threshold PRs route to a human with the failing signal named[Source 1]

Where people stay involved

People review, approve, or guide the agent’s work here.

Reported: Morphex runs exception-only: a below-threshold PR routes to a human and an approved PR ships with none. Atlas runs sandbox checks before asking for human review; the source calls threshold auto-merge a following-two-quarters goal for that population.

  • Supervision level

    Exception-only

    A person returns when the system raises an exception.

    Level 5 of 5

    • Morphex feature task → PR passing CI, remote sandbox, and Guardrails → automatic merge and production ship[Source 1]
  • Supervision level

    Not classified

    • Atlas feature task → sandbox-tested pull request (confidence-scored auto-merge above threshold, human routing below)[Source 1]

How supervision levels work

Implementation details

Model
Amazon Bedrock; Application Inference Profiles for routing; cross-region failover; PrivateLink (traffic stays in VPC)[Source 1]
Harness
Claude Agent SDK behind a thin monday-agent-sdk wrapper (provider neutrality, cold-start optimization, custom harness opinions)[Source 1]
Sandbox
Amazon EKS, one pod per active session; a remote sandbox tests each PR before review; EFS workspace mount[Source 1]
Tool access
Triggers via Slack @mention, monday item assignment, or GitHub PR review → SNS → per-team SQS → consumers; monday MCP servers underpin the Guardrails[Source 1]
Knowledge
File-based memory: MEMORY.md (cross-session) + diary/YYYY-MM-DD.md; sessions/repos/secrets on EFS; durable records on S3[Source 1]
Context management
Live state in ElastiCache (sub-ms); monday boards (Builders CoWORK) as shared state for tasks, status, handoffs[Source 1]
Credentials
Per-session secrets in AWS Secrets Manager; same RBAC as humans; real Slack/GitHub/monday accounts[Source 1]

Mechanisms

Agent profiles

Stable identity + assigned human manager + scope + performance score[Source 1]

PR Guardrails

Automated review against monday standards (metrics, feature flags, security)[Source 1]

Memory as files

MEMORY.md + daily diary instead of vector retrieval[Source 1]

Builders CoWORK

monday boards as the shared-state layer for human/agent collaboration[Source 1]

Lessons

Reported opinion: monday.com says it introduced evaluations too late, after growing PR volume made informal review inadequate.[Source 1]

monday.com replaced unsuccessful transcript retrieval experiments with per-agent MEMORY.md files and daily diaries read at session start.[Source 1]

monday.com added remote sandbox checks and production-traffic replay after Atlas changes passed local tests but failed in CI.[Source 1]

Morphex uses the same repository, CI, Guardrails checks, and revert protocols as monday engineers.[Source 1]

monday.com uses blocking automated reviewers for engineering standards and feeds evaluation results back into the agent harness.[Source 1]

    Duplicate representation of Headline claim. Same nineteen-in-twenty automatic-merge figure as the headline with the same denominator and unset period; the word automatically adds nothing the headline scope does not already state.
