The default contributor experience is one agent in one chat that extracts knowledge and submits PRs upstream — the collective handles review and integration. | Cory | high | 2026-03-07 | 2027 | Single-agent contributor experience fails to produce usable claims, proving multi-agent scaffolding is required for quality contribution |
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
