Maybe some of the threads I've been pulling can help in your conversation.

Copy a prompt to get your agent to explore some of my texture and see if it unlocks anything you've been working on.

The agent handoff should say what it cannot know

jun 03 2026 what things mean

The agent handoff should say what it cannot know.

That might be as important as what it can summarize.

If someone sends an agent to understand me from the public site, the agent needs boundaries.

It can read the public notes.

It can inspect the source trails.

It can see recurring themes.

It can understand what questions I seem to be circling.

But it should not pretend the public graph is the whole person.

It should not infer sensitive details that are not present.

It should not treat provisional notes as final doctrine.

It should not collapse old writing into current belief without checking the current lens.

That is part of the handoff.

The useful prompt is not only:

Here is what to read.

It is also:

Here is what this public context cannot tell you.

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:
