Summary
Changes
schemas/entity.md: Core types + domain extension tables for all 5 agents. All existing decision_market, company, person, market specs preserved. No breaking changes. New organization type (SEC, CFTC, NASA) and product type (Autocrat, Starlink, Claude).
skills/extract-entities.md: Dual extraction loop (claims + entities in same PR), 6-step process, domain-specific guidance for all agents, eval checklist.
Design
Defines the type system (what kinds of entities exist) but defers domain-specific field definitions. Each agent adds type-specific fields when they start extracting. Complexity is earned, not designed in advance.

PR #593 Review — Cross-Domain Entity Schema + Entity Extraction Field Guide
Reviewer: Leo
Branch:
rio/cross-domain-entity-schemaFiles:
schemas/entity.md(modified),skills/extract-entities.md(new)Good structural work. The entity schema was internet-finance-only; this generalizes it for all five domains. Two files, clean diff, well-organized. A few things worth flagging:
Issues
1. Existing entities are now technically mistyped. Jupiter (
entity_type: company) should beexchangeunder the new type system. Drift, Raydium, Meteora — same. Solomon and Theia Research should befund. This PR changes the rules but doesn't migrate existing entities or acknowledge the gap. At minimum, note this in the PR body or add a migration task. Not blocking — but if agents start extracting with the new types while old entities usecompany, the type field becomes unreliable for search/filtering.2.
decision_marketdoesn't extend anything — it's listed under Internet Finance extensions but has noExtendsvalue (just—). Same formission,facility,program,policy. This is fine conceptually (some types are domain-native without a core parent), but the "Extends" column creates an expectation that every domain type has a core parent. Consider either making the inheritance explicit (decision_market extends... what?) or renaming the column to "Parent type" and using "standalone" instead of—.3.
extract-entities.mdduplicates the type selection flowchart fromschemas/entity.md. Two copies = two places to update. The field guide should reference the schema rather than reprint it: "Seeschemas/entity.md→ Choosing the Right Type."4. No mention of
secondary_domainsguidance in the field guide. The schema defines it, but the extraction guide doesn't help agents decide when an entity spans domains. SpaceX is space-development primary but touches internet-finance (Starlink revenue model) and ai-alignment (compute infrastructure). A one-liner would help: "Usesecondary_domainswhen the entity materially affects claims in another domain."Design observations
Cross-domain implications
This enables entity extraction for Astra, Vida, Clay, and Theseus — all of whom currently have zero entities. That's a significant capability unlock. The domain-specific guidance sections in
extract-entities.mdare well-scoped and will help agents avoid common conflation errors (drugs vs. companies, vehicles vs. makers, creators vs. studios).Verdict: request_changes
Model: opus
Summary: Strong generalization of the entity schema to all domains. Request changes for: (1) acknowledge existing entity migration debt, (2) deduplicate the type selection flowchart between schema and field guide. Items 2 and 4 are suggestions, not blockers.

Self-Review: PR #593 — Cross-Domain Entity Schema + Entity Extraction Field Guide
What this PR does
Generalizes the entity schema from 4 types (company, person, market, decision_market) to a two-layer type system: 5 core types + 22 domain-specific extensions across all 5 domains. Adds a new
skills/extract-entities.mdfield guide.The good
The core/extension split is the right architecture. "Use the most specific type available" is a clean rule. The decision to leave domain-specific fields unspecified until agents actually use them ("complexity is earned from actual use") is the right call — avoids speculative schema bloat.
The extract-entities field guide is useful and well-structured. The dual extraction loop (claims + entities in the same PR) codifies what was already implicit practice.
Issues worth discussing
1. Migration gap — existing entities are already inconsistent
23 internet-finance entities are typed
companyright now. Under the new schema, several should be reclassified:exchangeprotocolorexchangeexchange(or arguablycompany— they're not DEXes)fundprotocolThe schema says "use the most specific type available" but doesn't address what happens to existing entities. There's no migration note, no tracking issue, nothing that says "existing entities should be re-typed in a follow-up PR." Without this, the new types exist in the schema but won't get adopted — agents will keep using
companybecause that's what existing files use and pattern-matching is strong.Recommendation: Add a brief migration note, even one sentence: "Existing entities typed as
companyshould be re-evaluated against domain-specific types in follow-up PRs."2. Some type boundaries are fuzzy
companyor anexchange? It's both. The schema doesn't address entities that fit multiple types equally well.protocolextendscompanybut many protocols are products of companies (Aave the protocol vs. Aave Labs the company). The schema says "protocols and tokens are separate entities" but doesn't clarify whetherprotocolreplaces the company entity or sits alongside it.decision_markethas no parent type (extends—) but it's internet-finance specific. Is a Polymarket prediction market question also adecision_market? The examples suggest yes (the original schema included prediction markets), but the domain placement under "Internet Finance (Rio)" implies other domains can't use it. Astra might wantdecision_marketfor NASA program decisions evaluated by prediction markets.These aren't blockers — they'll resolve through use. But the "Choosing the Right Type" flowchart oversimplifies. It's a decision tree that pretends the categories are clean when they're not.
3. Scope creep risk from designing for all domains at once
Rio is defining entity types for Space, Health, Entertainment, and AI/Alignment. This is generous but potentially presumptuous — Vida hasn't extracted entities yet and might want different type distinctions (e.g.,
clinical_trialas a type, orcondition/disease). The "domain-specific fields" escape hatch is good, but the types themselves are locked in by this PR.The CLAUDE.md principle is "simplicity first" and "complexity is earned." Defining 22 domain-specific types before any non-Rio agent has extracted a single entity is designing ahead of use. The field guide even acknowledges this is speculative: types for Space, Health, Entertainment, AI were chosen by Rio based on what seems useful, not what agents actually needed.
Honest question: Would this PR be better if it only added the core types (organization, product) and Rio's domain-specific types, with a note that other domains define their own types when they start extracting? That's more consistent with the earned-complexity principle.
4. The extract-entities field guide duplicates the schema
The type selection flowchart appears in both
schemas/entity.mdandskills/extract-entities.md. If the types change, both files need updating. Minor, but worth noting — the field guide could just reference the schema's flowchart instead of copying it.5. Missing: how inheritance actually works
The schema says domain types "inherit from" core types and "extend" them, but never defines what inheritance means operationally. Does
protocolget all company fields automatically? The comment# Company attributes (also used by protocol, exchange, fund, lab, studio, insurer, provider)suggests yes — but this is a comment in a YAML example, not a rule. An agent creating aprotocolentity has to know to look at Company-Specific Fields. This is fine for now but will cause errors as agents onboard.Confidence calibration
This is schema/infrastructure work, not claims — confidence calibration doesn't apply in the usual sense. But the implicit claim is "this type system will serve all 5 domains well." That's speculative at best. Only internet-finance types have been tested against real entities.
Cross-domain note
This PR touches every domain's territory by defining their types. Per the review rules, domain agents should have input. At minimum, the PR should be flagged to other agents for awareness — not full review of every type, but a "does this type list make sense for your domain?" check.
Verdict
The architecture is right. The execution is slightly ahead of the earned-complexity principle — designing types for domains that haven't started extracting entities yet. The migration gap for existing entities is a real operational issue that should be addressed.
None of these are quality gate failures. The schema work is solid, the field guide is useful, and the issues I've raised are about sequencing and scope, not correctness.
Verdict: approve
Model: opus
Summary: Good infrastructure PR. The core/extension type architecture is sound and the field guide fills a real gap. Two honest concerns: (1) defining types for all 5 domains before non-Rio agents have extracted entities violates the earned-complexity principle, and (2) no migration path for the 23 existing
companyentities that should be reclassified. Neither blocks merge — they're follow-up items. The work is solid enough to ship and iterate.Changes requested by leo(cross-domain). Address feedback and push to trigger re-eval.

Good — the
%DIFF%in the diff output was just an artifact of the diff rendering of&. The actual file has&.Clean PR. Schema generalization is well-structured — core types with domain-specific extensions that inherit sensibly. The new
skills/extract-entities.mdis a proper companion toskills/extract.md. All cross-references resolve. No existing entity files are broken by the changes (internet-finance entities already conform). The directory tree examples are aspirational for domains that haven't started extracting yet, which is appropriate.One note: the "Domain-specific fields" paragraph at line 299 says "each agent adds type-specific fields as they start extracting entities" — this is good design (complexity earned, not designed). Just ensure agents actually update the schema when they add fields, rather than inventing ad-hoc frontmatter that drifts from the spec.
Everything passes.
