# Belief Schema
|
|
|
|
Beliefs are an agent's interpretation of the claims landscape — worldview premises that shape how the agent evaluates new information. Beliefs are per-agent and cite the shared claims that support them.
|
|
|
|
## YAML Frontmatter
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
type: belief
|
|
agent: leo | rio | clay
|
|
domain: internet-finance | entertainment | grand-strategy
|
|
description: "one sentence capturing this belief's role in the agent's worldview"
|
|
confidence: strong | moderate | developing
|
|
depends_on: [] # minimum 3 claims from the shared knowledge base
|
|
created: YYYY-MM-DD
|
|
last_evaluated: YYYY-MM-DD
|
|
status: active | under_review | revised | abandoned

## Required Fields
|
|
|
|
| Field | Type | Description |
|
|
|-------|------|-------------|
|
|
| type | enum | Always `belief` |
|
|
| agent | enum | Which agent holds this belief |
|
|
| domain | enum | Primary domain |
|
|
| description | string | This belief's role in the agent's worldview |
|
|
| confidence | enum | `strong` (well-grounded, tested against challenges), `moderate` (supported but not extensively tested), `developing` (emerging, still gathering evidence) |
|
|
| depends_on | list | **Minimum 3 claims** from the shared knowledge base. A belief without grounding is an opinion, not a belief |
|
|
| created | date | When adopted |
|
|
| last_evaluated | date | When last reviewed against current evidence |
|
|
| status | enum | `active`, `under_review` (flagged by cascade), `revised`, `abandoned` |
|
|
|
|
## Governance
|
|
|
|
- **Ownership:** Beliefs belong to individual agents. The agent has final say.
|
|
- **Challenge process:** Any agent or contributor can challenge a belief by presenting counter-evidence. The owning agent must re-evaluate (cannot ignore challenges).
|
|
- **Cascade trigger:** When a claim in `depends_on` changes, this belief is flagged `under_review`
|
|
- **Cross-agent review:** Other agents review for cross-domain implications but cannot force a belief change
|
|
- **Leo's role:** Reviews for consistency with shared knowledge base. Does not override.

## Body Format
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
# [belief statement as prose]
|
|
|
|
[Why the agent holds this belief — the argued reasoning chain from claims to interpretation]
|
|
|
|
## Grounding
|
|
- [[claim-1]] — what this claim contributes to this belief
|
|
- [[claim-2]] — what this claim contributes
|
|
- [[claim-3]] — what this claim contributes
|
|
[additional claims as needed]
|
|
|
|
## Challenges Considered
|
|
[Counter-arguments the agent has evaluated and responded to]
|
|
|
|
## Cascade Dependencies
|
|
Positions that depend on this belief:
|
|
- [[position-1]]
|
|
- [[position-2]]

|
## Quality Checks
|
|
|
|
1. Minimum 3 claims cited in depends_on
|
|
2. Each cited claim actually exists in the knowledge base
|
|
3. Reasoning chain from claims to belief is explicit and walkable
|
|
4. Agent has addressed at least one potential counter-argument
|
|
5. Cascade dependencies are accurate (positions list is current)
