Agents should have room to exercise judgment.
The current operating model assumes that agents can:
- split one raw file into several notes
- infer likely destinations inside the garden
- add wikilinks, tags, and cluster pages when the context supports it
- move or rename assets when that clarifies the resulting structure
- keep published prose free of workflow narration, provenance caveats, and other note-about-the-note commentary unless that commentary is itself part of the subject
- avoid dangling wikilinks by linking only to existing notes or to notes created in the same change
- keep the public atlas domain-first by preferring durable topical folders over workflow or placeholder categories
- create a new subfolder only when a note cluster is dense enough to justify a reader-facing split
The review boundary is the commit, not a rigid up-front schema. That keeps the canvas flexible while still preserving editorial control.
This autonomy works best when the garden already values connected-notes, serendipity, and clear maps over brittle taxonomy.
