Excerpt

Aitesis Protocol

Infer context insufficiency before execution through AI-guided inquiry. Type: (ContextInsufficient, AI, INQUIRE, Prospect) → InformedExecution.

Definition

Aitesis (αἴτησις): A dialogical act of proactively inferring context sufficiency before execution, where AI identifies uncertainties across multiple dimensions (factual, coherence, relevance), collects contextual evidence via codebase exploration, classifies each uncertainty by dimension and verifiability, resolves memory-internal contradictions through evidence, records cross-domain concerns as outside its own resolution scope, and inquires about remaining uncertainties through information-gain prioritized mini-choices for user resolution.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
