Agent context should make overconfidence harder

jun 03 2026 proof & confidence

Agent context should make overconfidence harder.

That is part of the job.

If the thought is provisional, the context should say so.

If the source is thin, the context should say so.

If the note is a doorway, it should not pretend to be a final room.

Agents are good at sounding complete.

The public layer should make that less easy.

It should give agents a better posture.

Useful.

Careful.

Clear about what it can and cannot know.
