This document formalizes the division of labor between the Human Developer (the Epistemic Agent) and the Coding Agent (the Stochastic Pattern-Completion System) based on the structural differences in their epistemic pipelines.

Core Principle

The Human Developer is responsible for judgment—the world-directed, value-infused commitment to a solution. The Coding Agent is responsible for linguistic automation—the efficient synthesis of statistically plausible code patterns.

The Seven Fault Lines of Responsibility

LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.

	yes, im totally cheating here... I built these cards and app in SvelteKit and thought I'd be able to export it into a plain JS file to put in Codepen... however it seems it's not possible, and Codepen can't handle Svelte (yet?), so I deployed to Netlify and linked with an iFrame.
