The emerging design pattern is User → User's Agent → Software's Agent → Database. TARS implements the user-side well — orchestrating sub-agents. But the missing piece is the software-side agent: the layer that handles complexity on behalf of the user's agent, proactively surfaces schema and specs, and owns the handoff. Notion's notion://docs/enhanced-markdown-spec pattern — fetching the spec before writing — is exactly this layer, and it's where most of the value is now.
