Excerpt

bullshit-detector

Separate what's verifiably true from what's hype in any piece of content.

Workflow

Start at step 1 now. The steps below are the plan — they are already ordered, and each one says what it needs. There is nothing to work out in advance, and working it out anyway is measurably expensive: across 35 instrumented runs the phase before the first tool call is almost entirely deliberation, 15% of all the thinking a run does, and the single longest uninterrupted block on record — 421 seconds — sits there, before a claim had been read or a search issued. Read step 1, do step 1.

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