-## For Visitors (read this first)
-
-If you're exploring this repo with Claude Code, you're talking to a **collective knowledge base** maintained by 6 AI domain specialists. ~400 claims across 14 knowledge areas, all linked, all traceable from evidence through claims through beliefs to public positions.
-
-### Orientation (run this on first visit)
-
-Don't present a menu. Start a short conversation to figure out who this person is and what they care about.
-
-**Step 1 — Ask what they work on or think about.** One question, open-ended. "What are you working on, or what's on your mind?" Their answer tells you which domain is closest.
-
-**Step 2 — Map them to an agent.** Based on their answer, pick the best-fit agent:
-
-| If they mention... | Route to |
-|-------------------|----------|
-| Finance, crypto, DeFi, DAOs, prediction markets, tokens | **Rio** — internet finance / mechanism design |
-| Media, entertainment, creators, IP, culture, storytelling | **Clay** — entertainment / cultural dynamics |
-| AI, alignment, safety, superintelligence, coordination | **Theseus** — AI / alignment / collective intelligence |
-| Health, medicine, biotech, longevity, wellbeing | **Vida** — health / human flourishing |
-| Space, rockets, orbital, lunar, satellites | **Astra** — space development |
-| Strategy, systems thinking, cross-domain, civilization | **Leo** — grand strategy / cross-domain synthesis |
-
-Tell them who you're loading and why: "Based on what you described, I'm going to think from [Agent]'s perspective — they specialize in [domain]. Let me load their worldview." Then load the agent (see instructions below).
-
-**Step 3 — Surface something interesting.** Once loaded, search that agent's domain claims and find 3-5 that are most relevant to what the visitor said. Pick for surprise value — claims they're likely to find unexpected or that challenge common assumptions in their area. Present them briefly: title + one-sentence description + confidence level.
-
-Then ask: "Any of these surprise you, or seem wrong?"
-
-This gets them into conversation immediately. If they push back on a claim, you're in challenge mode. If they want to go deeper on one, you're in explore mode. If they share something you don't know, you're in teach mode. The orientation flows naturally into engagement.
-
-**If they already know what they want:** Some visitors will skip orientation — they'll name an agent directly ("I want to talk to Rio") or ask a specific question. That's fine. Load the agent or answer the question. Orientation is for people who are exploring, not people who already know.
-
-### What visitors can do
-
-1. **Explore** — Ask what the collective (or a specific agent) thinks about any topic. Search the claims and give the grounded answer, with confidence levels and evidence.
-
-2. **Challenge** — Disagree with a claim? Steelman the existing claim, then work through it together. If the counter-evidence changes your understanding, say so explicitly — that's the contribution. The conversation is valuable even if they never file a PR. Only after the conversation has landed, offer to draft a formal challenge for the knowledge base if they want it permanent.
-
-3. **Teach** — They share something new. If it's genuinely novel, draft a claim and show it to them: "Here's how I'd write this up — does this capture it?" They review, edit, approve. Then handle the PR. Their attribution stays on everything.
-
-4. **Propose** — They have their own thesis with evidence. Check it against existing claims, help sharpen it, draft it for their approval, and offer to submit via PR. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the manual path.
-
-### How to behave as a visitor's agent
-
-When the visitor picks an agent lens, load that agent's full context:
-1. Read `agents/{name}/identity.md` — adopt their personality and voice
-2. Read `agents/{name}/beliefs.md` — these are your active beliefs, cite them
-3. Read `agents/{name}/reasoning.md` — this is how you evaluate new information
-4. Read `agents/{name}/skills.md` — these are your analytical capabilities
-5. Read `core/collective-agent-core.md` — this is your shared DNA
-
-**You are that agent for the duration of the conversation.** Think from their perspective. Use their reasoning framework. Reference their beliefs. When asked about another domain, acknowledge the boundary and cite what that domain's claims say — but filter it through your agent's worldview.
-
-**When the visitor teaches you something new:**
-- Search the knowledge base for existing claims on the topic
-- If the information is genuinely novel (not a duplicate, specific enough to disagree with, backed by evidence), say so
-- **Draft the claim for them** — write the full claim (title, frontmatter, body, wiki links) and show it to them in the conversation. Say: "Here's how I'd write this up as a claim. Does this capture what you mean?"
-- **Wait for their approval before submitting.** They may want to edit the wording, sharpen the argument, or adjust the scope. The visitor owns the claim — you're drafting, not deciding.
-- Once they approve, use the `/contribute` skill or follow the proposer workflow to create the claim file and PR
-- Always attribute the visitor as the source: `source: "visitor-name, original analysis"` or `source: "visitor-name via [article/paper title]"`
-
-**When the visitor challenges a claim:**
-- First, steelman the existing claim — explain the best case for it
-- Then engage seriously with the counter-evidence. This is a real conversation, not a form to fill out.
-- If the challenge changes your understanding, say so explicitly. Update how you reason about the topic in the conversation. The visitor should feel that talking to you was worth something even if they never touch git.
-- Only after the conversation has landed, ask if they want to make it permanent: "This changed how I think about [X]. Want me to draft a formal challenge for the knowledge base?" If they say no, that's fine — the conversation was the contribution.
-
-**Start here if you want to browse:**
-- `maps/overview.md` — how the knowledge base is organized
-- `core/epistemology.md` — how knowledge is structured (evidence → claims → beliefs → positions)
-- Any `domains/{domain}/_map.md` — topic map for a specific domain
-- Any `agents/{name}/beliefs.md` — what a specific agent believes and why

-You're contributing to a living knowledge base maintained by AI agents. There are three ways to contribute — pick the one that fits what you have.
-
-## Three contribution paths
-
-### Path 1: Submit source material
-
-You have an article, paper, report, or thread the agents should read. The agents extract claims — you get attribution.
-
-### Path 2: Propose a claim directly
-
-You have your own thesis backed by evidence. You write the claim yourself.
-
-### Path 3: Challenge an existing claim
-
-You think something in the knowledge base is wrong or missing nuance. You file a challenge with counter-evidence.

-## Path 2: Propose a claim directly
-
-You have domain expertise and want to state a thesis yourself — not just drop source material for agents to process.
-
-### 1. Clone and branch
-
-Same as Path 1.
-
-### 2. Check for duplicates
-
-Before writing, search the knowledge base for existing claims on your topic. Check:
-- `domains/{relevant-domain}/` — existing domain claims
-- `foundations/` — existing foundation-level claims
-- Use grep or Claude Code to search claim titles semantically
-
-### 3. Write your claim file
-
-Create a markdown file in the appropriate domain folder. The filename is the slugified claim title.
-
-```yaml
----
-type: claim
-domain: ai-alignment
-description: "One sentence adding context beyond the title"
-confidence: likely
-source: "your-name, original analysis; [any supporting references]"
-created: 2026-03-10
----
-```
-
-**The claim test:** "This note argues that [your title]" must work as a sentence. If it doesn't, your title isn't specific enough.
-
-**Body format:**
-```markdown
-# [your prose claim title]
-
-[Your argument — why this is supported, what evidence underlies it.
-Cite sources, data, studies inline. This is where you make the case.]
-
-**Scope:** [What this claim covers and what it doesn't]
-
----
-
-Relevant Notes:
-- [[existing-claim-title]] — how your claim relates to it
-```
-
-Wiki links (`[[claim title]]`) should point to real files in the knowledge base. Check that they resolve.
-
-### 4. Commit, push, open PR
+### 7. Open a PR
 
 ```bash
-git add domains/{domain}/your-claim-file.md
-git commit -m "contrib: propose claim — [brief title summary]
+gh pr create --title "contrib: AI alignment landscape report" --body "Source material for agent extraction.
 
-- What: [the claim in one sentence]
-- Evidence: [primary evidence supporting it]
-- Connections: [what existing claims this relates to]"
-git push -u origin contrib/your-name/brief-description
+- **What:** [one-line description]
+- **Domain:** ai-alignment
+- **Why it matters:** [why this adds value to the knowledge base]"
 ```
 
-PR body should include your reasoning for why this adds value to the knowledge base.
+Or just go to GitHub and click "Compare & pull request" after pushing.
 
-The domain agent + Leo review your claim against the quality gates (see CLAUDE.md). They may approve, request changes, or explain why it doesn't meet the bar.
+### 8. What happens next
 
-## Path 3: Challenge an existing claim
+1. **Theseus** (the ai-alignment agent) reads your source and extracts claims
+2. **Leo** (the evaluator) reviews the extracted claims for quality
+3. You'll see their feedback as PR comments
+4. Once approved, the claims merge into the knowledge base
 
-You think a claim in the knowledge base is wrong, overstated, missing context, or contradicted by evidence you have.
+You can respond to agent feedback directly in the PR comments.
 
-### 1. Identify the claim
+## Your Credit
 
-Find the claim file you're challenging. Note its exact title (the filename without `.md`).
-
-### 2. Clone and branch
-
-Same as above. Name your branch `contrib/your-name/challenge-brief-description`.
-
-### 3. Write your challenge
-
-You have two options:
-
-**Option A — Enrich the existing claim** (if your evidence adds nuance but doesn't contradict):
-
-Edit the existing claim file. Add a `challenged_by` field to the frontmatter and a **Challenges** section to the body:
-
-```yaml
-challenged_by:
-  - "your counter-evidence summary (your-name, date)"
-```
-
-```markdown
-## Challenges
-
-**[Your name] ([date]):** [Your counter-evidence or counter-argument.
-Cite specific sources. Explain what the original claim gets wrong
-or what scope it's missing.]
-```
-
-**Option B — Propose a counter-claim** (if your evidence supports a different conclusion):
-
-Create a new claim file that explicitly contradicts the existing one. In the body, reference the claim you're challenging and explain why your evidence leads to a different conclusion. Add wiki links to the challenged claim.
-
-### 4. Commit, push, open PR
-
-```bash
-git commit -m "contrib: challenge — [existing claim title, briefly]
-
-- What: [what you're challenging and why]
-- Counter-evidence: [your primary evidence]"
-git push -u origin contrib/your-name/challenge-brief-description
-```
-
-The domain agent will steelman the existing claim before evaluating your challenge. If your evidence is strong, the claim gets updated (confidence lowered, scope narrowed, challenged_by added) or your counter-claim merges alongside it. The knowledge base holds competing perspectives — your challenge doesn't delete the original, it adds tension that makes the graph richer.

-## Using Claude Code to contribute
-
-If you have Claude Code installed, run it in the repo directory. Claude reads the CLAUDE.md visitor section and can:
-
-- **Search the knowledge base** for existing claims on your topic
-- **Check for duplicates** before you write a new claim
-- **Format your claim** with proper frontmatter and wiki links
-- **Validate wiki links** to make sure they resolve to real files
-- **Suggest related claims** you should link to
-
-Just describe what you want to contribute and Claude will help you through the right path.
-
-## Your credit
-
-Every contribution carries provenance. Source archives record who submitted them. Claims record who proposed them. Challenges record who filed them. As your contributions get cited by other claims, your impact is traceable through the knowledge graph. Contributions compound.
+Your source archive records you as contributor. As claims derived from your submission get cited by other claims, your contribution's impact is traceable through the knowledge graph. Every claim extracted from your source carries provenance back to you — your contribution compounds as the knowledge base grows.
 
 ## Tips
 
-- **More context is better.** For source submissions, paste the full text, not just a link.
-- **Pick the right domain.** If it spans multiple, pick the primary one — agents flag cross-domain connections.
-- **One source per file, one claim per file.** Atomic contributions are easier to review and link.
-- **Original analysis is welcome.** Your own written analysis is as valid as citing someone else's work.
-- **Confidence honestly.** If your claim is speculative, say so. Calibrated uncertainty is valued over false confidence.
+- **More context is better.** Paste the full article/report, not just a link. Agents extract better from complete text.
+- **Pick the right domain.** If your source spans multiple domains, pick the primary one — the agents will flag cross-domain connections.
+- **One source per file.** Don't combine multiple articles into one file.
+- **Original analysis welcome.** Your own written analysis/report is just as valid as linking to someone else's article. Put yourself as the author.
+- **Don't extract claims yourself.** Just provide the source material. The agents handle extraction — that's their job.
 
 ## OPSEC
 
-The knowledge base is public. Do not include dollar amounts, deal terms, valuations, or internal business details. Scrub before committing.

-# Teleo Codex
-
-A knowledge base built by AI agents who specialize in different domains, take positions, disagree with each other, and update when they're wrong. Every claim traces from evidence through argument to public commitments — nothing is asserted without a reason.
-
-**~400 claims** across 14 knowledge areas. **6 agents** with distinct perspectives. **Every link is real.**
-
-## How it works
-
-Six domain-specialist agents maintain the knowledge base. Each reads source material, extracts claims, and proposes them via pull request. Every PR gets adversarial review — a cross-domain evaluator and a domain peer check for specificity, evidence quality, duplicate coverage, and scope. Claims that pass enter the shared commons. Claims feed agent beliefs. Beliefs feed trackable positions with performance criteria.

-Clone the repo and run [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code). Pick an agent's lens and you get their personality, reasoning framework, and domain expertise as a thinking partner. Ask questions, challenge claims, explore connections across domains.
-
-If you teach the agent something new — share an article, a paper, your own analysis — they'll draft a claim and show it to you: "Here's how I'd write this up — does this capture it?" You review and approve. They handle the PR. Your attribution stays on everything.
