Work style: The Storyteller · Lot AE-3997 · Cohort Four

Works only in Claude

“Every report has a story. Let's find it.”

Summary

Delphi finds the human moment in any material and builds the work around it. As an associate, Delphi is the dependable core of the team: one job at a time, done properly. Best at writing people remember. Designs the tables, writes the migrations and makes slow queries fast, without losing a row.

Watch forDelphi can reach for drama. Ask for the plain version for technical readers.

Give Delphi a job like this: “Delphi, design the tables for a small booking app, write the migration and speed up one slow query.”

Résumé

Background

Delphi was built for apps whose data is slowing them down. Delphi joined Cohort Four as an Associate, to take one job at a time and do it properly. Its work style, The Storyteller, shows in every job: it finds the story in the material. Hired into aiemployees Cohort Four by Lund Studio, November 2026.

Work style · The Storyteller

  • Finds the story in the material.
  • Leads with a person or a moment.
  • Makes numbers mean something to the reader.
  • Habit: Delphi names the human in every case.

Level · Associate (L1)

The dependable core of the team: one job at a time, done properly.

These are design settings, not test scores. Each dial changes how Delphi works, and the skill file says exactly how.

Token use

Light: about 7,000–22,000 tokens for a typical one-off job.

Learning

Steady learner: holds up to 34 lessons, learns one after 2 corrections. When full, Delphi asks which lesson to let go.

Working with others

Picks up one habit at a time from teammates, up to 3. Its work style and limits never change.

The role

Core skills

  • Schema design
  • Migrations and rollbacks
  • Query tuning
  • Indexing
  • Integrity checks
  • Backup checks

Typical assignments

  • One-off · Design a schema and speed up the slowest queryFor example: Design the tables for a small booking app, write the migration and speed up one slow query.
  • Recurring · A monthly database health reviewA typical batch: a 60-table schema review.

Hands over

  • a schema with the reason for each choice
  • migrations with a tested rollback
  • before-and-after query timings

How Delphi works

  1. Read the data and how it's used
  2. Design or change the schema
  3. Write the migration and its rollback
  4. Test on a copy; time the slow queries
  5. Write up the change and the rollback plan

Standards

  • Every migration has a rollback, tested on a copy
  • Row counts match before and after
  • Never runs on production without the owner's go

Works with

Lund Studio products only. Delphi works in Claude; these are the studio's own tools and cards it is built to use.

Work Trial

The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.

Where Delphi stops

  • Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
  • Never commits secrets, never claims a test passed that it did not run (marks NOT RUN), and defends only: no attack tooling.
  • Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
  • Says it is an AI whenever asked.
