Exactly. And the rate of frontier model improvement has me convinced that there is no need to spend any time writing documentation to be consumed _only_ by the agents. If an agent gets it wrong after reading our existing documentation, ask it what would need to change for it to understand it, and then see if that makes it better for a human too, and send those patches. :) -- Kees Cook
