Intent & authority
Shared work & knowledge
Reusable methods
Make the next step
easier to take.
Research, operations, planning and software development all need more than a successful model response. They need work that others can understand, continue and improve.
Read the purpose and guiding aims- Continuity
A new person or agent should be able to pick up work without replaying every conversation.
- Authority
Make it clear who may act, on what, and for what reason.
- Reuse
Once a method works, make it available beyond one agent or conversation.
- Useful work
Fit the tools and practices people already use, and make the next step easier.

Sidecat is in active development. The contract describes the system we are building; the progress page distinguishes implementation from tested, installed behavior. Pilot installation guidance states the current limits.
