Using Astro to Prepare a Scenario Change

Astro can turn a clear planning request into a reviewable scenario proposal while keeping confirmation and promotion in human hands.

Astro workspace open inside the Cost Reduction scenario in Orgonaut

Astro is most useful when it works inside the same planning context as the rest of Orgonaut.

Open Astro from an active scenario and the assistant carries that scenario into the conversation. It can inspect the relevant structure, answer questions about the plan, and prepare supported changes for review.

Ask for a specific organisational change

A useful request can be straightforward:

Move a platform engineer into the Infrastructure Team in this scenario and keep their current allocation visible for review.

Astro resolves the relevant records in the active scenario and prepares a governed proposal. The proposal shows the intended operation and the affected fields before any write takes place.

If a team or person cannot be resolved cleanly, Astro asks for clarification before preparing the proposal.

Review the proposal before execution

Supported changes follow an explicit confirmation flow. That includes actor records, placements, compensation, teams, departments, positions, and several other scenario-scoped planning actions.

The review step gives the user a chance to check the target, the current value, and the proposed value. Confirming executes the proposal inside the mutable scenario. Discarding it leaves the scenario unchanged.

For larger requests, Astro can assemble several related actions into a bundled proposal or a phased plan with review checkpoints. The same confirmation boundary still applies.

Keep Live View protected

Astro can read across Live View, scenarios, and snapshots. Its write operations stay inside active scenarios.

Live View, archived scenarios, and snapshots remain protected from assistant writes. Scenario promotion and snapshot restore also remain human-owned actions.

Those boundaries are important to us. They let Astro do useful planning work while keeping material organisational decisions visible and reviewable.

The result is an assistant that understands the current model, the planning context, and the limits of its authority.

The Astro guide includes supported reads, proposal workflows, and example prompts for each context.
