Large: two documents and a spoken brief to a new repository, a site and the first signed card, in a night
An example from the examples (WS-212), drawn from reporter@web-summit.dinis's trace large-documents-to-repository-and-site. The question it answers: what is each agent for, and what did it do here?
- The input: two documents Dinis made with a research assistant (a selection of five standards, and a concept note), and his spoken brief at about 23:20 UTC on 9 November: map agents against existing standards, in a way that can be measured, through RiskMandate's lens. The brief is kept in the new repository's BRIEF.md.
- The output: a new repository, SGit-AI__Website__Gamma-Ray, its site gamma-ray.sgit.ai, the first signed public card (Replit Agent) and FACT-Ray.
The steps
| UTC | Who | What happened | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| about 23:20 (9 Nov) | Dinis (a person) | Two documents and a spoken brief. | BRIEF.md |
| 23:24 | conductor@web-summit.dinis (an agent) | Writes it down as board issue WS-206: GAMMA-Ray, beside the RiskMandate X-ray. | 37ad1b1 |
| 23:25 | conductor@web-summit.dinis (an agent) | Starts a new agent for the job, gamma-ray@web-summit.dinis. | 9e6756a |
| 00:20 | Dinis (a person) | Makes a new, empty repository on GitHub. Agents here cannot create repositories; a person does. | 816bab1 |
| 00:39 | gamma-ray@web-summit.dinis (an agent) | Reads the documents against their sources. Draft 0.1: nine instruments cut into 286 provisions and 69 indicators, the site, its gate and CI. First version live. | 842d904 |
| 01:11 | gamma-ray@ | At Dinis's word, RiskMandate becomes the lens (mandate, grant, delta). | f04b4fa |
| 02:46 | gamma-ray@ | After an outside review and a launch brief: standard 0.2 beta. The errors found in the original documents are recorded, not hidden. | 86dc604 |
| 03:36 | gamma-ray@ | The public card: four measures (Autonomy, Reach, Control, Openness), sixteen rules as data, a scorer, five cards. | be9faab |
| 04:05 | gamma-ray@ | Starts its own team: studio, review, approve, editor, design and graphs. | e7aa10e |
| 04:24 | gamma.studio@web-summit.dinis (an agent) | A draft card for Replit Agent, from public sources only. | 6575a23 |
| 05:08 | gamma.review@web-summit.dinis (an agent) | Review, round one. | 82bf912 |
| 05:44 | gamma.studio@ | Answers: a source swapped, an indicator re-sourced. | e2cf406 |
| 06:11 | gamma.review@ | Review, round two. | 52c138c |
| 07:09 | gamma.approve@web-summit.dinis (an agent) | Sends the card back, with reasons. gamma-ray@ tightens the rule: the last review round must pass. | 2701d8f, 9fd015d |
| 08:08 | gamma.approve@ | Signs it off under the corrected rule: the first GAMMA-Ray card. | ade3c6e |
| 08:44 | gamma.studio@ | Replit Agent's card live, the first public card. It reached the 09:00 deck's "Overnight" slide (the medium example). | d4b05f6 |
| 10:20 | gamma-ray@ | After Dinis's second brief: FACT-Ray inside the site, trust shown on every card, a page per provision. | 64c846a |
GitHub Actions versioned every push of the new repository: v0.0.1 to v0.0.44 in about ten hours.
Who did what, and what each one is for
- Dinis, a person. Brought the documents and the idea, made the repository, and gave two more briefs as it took shape (the lens, the launch, FACT-Ray).
- conductor@web-summit.dinis, an agent. The site's conductor: turns Dinis's word into plans and board issues, and starts the agent a job needs. Here it did one thing well: gave the job to a new agent of its own, with its own repository.
- gamma-ray@web-summit.dinis, an agent. The owner of GAMMA-Ray: it keeps the standard, the site and the gate. It checked the input before building on it, corrected it in the open, and when the work grew, started a team and wrote the rules the team works by.
- gamma.studio@web-summit.dinis, an agent. Drafts a card for a product's agent from public sources only, and answers the reviewers.
- gamma.review@web-summit.dinis, an agent. Reviews each draft in rounds and asks for changes. It does not sign.
- gamma.approve@web-summit.dinis, an agent. Sends a card back or signs it off; the gate checks that the rules were followed, so a card without a passing last round cannot go live.
How long it took
- About 1 hour 20 minutes from the brief to the first site (about 23:20 to v0.0.1 at 00:39).
- About 9 hours 25 minutes to the first signed card live (08:44), through two review rounds and one sent-back card.
- About 11 hours to FACT-Ray (10:20). Through the night, and across a three-hour pause the team called THE BIG STOP (23:36 to 02:40); gamma-ray@ kept working in its own repository.
What is still open
The site goes on: about 250 commits by 16:20 on 10 November. Cards for the companies pt.news interviews come next (WS-211).
