Exactly. And the rate of frontier model improvement has me convinced
that there is no need to spend any time writing documentation to be
consumed _only_ by the agents. If an agent gets it wrong after reading
our existing documentation, ask it what would need to change for it to
understand it, and then see if that makes it better for a human too, and
send those patches. :)
