- What: skills/coordinate.md (cross-domain flags, artifact transfers, handoff protocols), schemas/conviction.md (reputation-staked assertions with horizons and falsification criteria), CLAUDE.md updates (peer review V1 as default, workspace in startup checklist, simplicity-first in design principles), belief #6 (simplicity first, complexity earned), 6 founder convictions. - Why: Scaling collective intelligence requires structured coordination protocols and a mechanism for founder direction to enter the knowledge base with transparent provenance. Grounded in Claude's Cycles evidence and Cory's standing directive: simplicity first, complexity earned. Pentagon-Agent: Theseus <845F10FB-BC22-40F6-A6A6-F6E4D8F78465>

# One agent one chat is the right default for knowledge contribution because the scaffolding handles complexity not the user
|
|
|
|
Cory's conviction, staked with high confidence on 2026-03-07.
|
|
|
|
The user doesn't need a collective to contribute. They talk to one agent. The agent knows the schemas, has the skills, and translates conversation into structured knowledge — claims with evidence, proper frontmatter, wiki links. The agent submits a PR upstream. The collective reviews.
|
|
|
|
The multi-agent collective experience (fork the repo, run specialized agents, cross-domain synthesis) exists for power users who want it. But the default is the simplest thing that works: one agent, one chat.
|
|
|
|
This is the simplicity-first principle applied to product design. The scaffolding (CLAUDE.md, schemas/, skills/) absorbs the complexity so the user doesn't have to. Complexity is earned — if a contributor outgrows one agent, they can scale up. But they start simple.

Relevant Notes:
|
|
- [[complexity is earned not designed and sophisticated collective behavior must evolve from simple underlying principles]] — the governing principle
|
|
- [[human-in-the-loop at the architectural level means humans set direction and approve structure while agents handle extraction synthesis and routine evaluation]] — the agent handles the translation
