The agentic team, and who the making-of book is for
The first memo of the v0.6 era, and it opens with a verdict rather than a complaint: the making-of book's content, voicing and pacing are right, and what follows is a change of FRAME, not a rewrite. Then the machinery: an agentic team as folders, one per role, each with a role.md, actions, briefs, debriefs and a work environment, so personas can be spun up in parallel and kept isolated — not for throughput but for judgement, because “agents advocating for certain things, who have specific centres of gravity” give better decisions than one generalist. Seven roles named, every one of them customised to THIS estate rather than generic. The first question put to the team is the book's own title, which the founder judges wrong: the making-of does not use the fractal element, it is about the workflows. And underneath it, the two audiences in Wardley's terms — the villager who wants to write a book with productised tools, and the explorer who wants to see how the sausage was made and change it — plus the thesis the book may really be about: the scaffolding matters more than the code, and you build the ship while preparing to fly.
