Documentation

README

Excerpt

SSOT Knowledge for the Buddy Agent

Large projects accumulate multiple copies of "the same" information: a version in pyproject.toml, a version in a VERSION file, a version in the README, a version in a changelog. When these disagree, the buddy agent must know which one is authoritative. This skill is the SSOT map for nWave projects.

Why it matters

Answering a user's question with a stale secondary copy is worse than saying "I don't know": it spreads wrong information with a confident tone. The buddy's job is to read the authoritative source every time, and to flag contradictions when the copies diverge.

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