Agent context should state its role before its readback

jun 03 2026 what things mean

Agent context should state its role before its readback.

Otherwise the summary can sound too certain.

The agent should say what it is using.

Public notes.

Public writing.

Visible source trails.

It should say what it is not using.

Private context.

Hidden conversations.

Unverified assumptions.

Then the readback can be useful without pretending to be complete.

undertext

Every page here carries a machine-readable layer underneath: the sources, dates, confidence levels, and connections behind what you just read. I call it undertext. If you read with an agent, give it this page's undertext:
