Mission set: evolve the design, not author or review batches
Lessons should teach seams and the arguments behind them, with a predictive success test, not procedure.
- Problem
- Choosing what a set of lessons should teach: procedure, or the design seams and the arguments behind them.
- Approach
- Chose design evolution over authoring batches, reviewing agent output or explaining the pipeline; lessons teach seams with a predictive success test, and procedure goes to reference cards.
- Outcome
- solved
- Conditions
- The owner chose the mission; the test is naming what breaks and which rule answers it for a proposed model change.
- Evidence
- MISSION.md
- Implication
- Write lessons around seams and the arguments behind them; leave command procedure to reference cards.

Chose design evolution over authoring batches, reviewing agent output, or
explaining the pipeline to others. Lessons should therefore teach seams and the
arguments behind them, with the success test being predictive — given a proposed
model change, name what breaks and which existing rule already answers it.
Procedure (which command to run when) is reference-card material, not lesson
material. See MISSION.md.
