Patterns

Practices that appear in more than one repository. Each page is short, and each one names the repositories that use it so you can go and read the real version.

Pattern	Use it when
Make identifiers hard to fake	Agents write ontology terms, citations, or quotes
Regulate the loop	You cannot review every agent edit yourself
Break work into skills	The same instructions keep getting repeated
One source of instructions	You have more than one agent instructions file
Fast and slow validation	Full validation is too slow to run while curating
Scanners find the work	Agents only act when a human remembers to ask
One review checklist	Different reviewers apply different standards
Shared control	Curation happens in a web tool, not in files
Guard the untrusted surface	Anyone on the internet can comment on your issues
