  1. Draft PR with UX changes I am suggesting.

GitHub - BrainDriveAI/BrainDrive at ux/experts-skills · GitHub.

I suggest we pause this work here while you work to integrate the LLM as a judge into the factory using existing specs, and I work on getting you the agents research I have been working on in a usable format.

Once that work is done we can circle back here and finalize these three items and get then built with the factory.

Any questions or issues let me know.

Thanks
Dave W.

@djjones one more draft to go with Dave W’s three above: the changes the Your Agent spec needs for Experts. Like the others, it’s for review when we pick this work back up, not for action now.

In short: Your Agent becomes the steward of Your Memory. Experts get anything outside their own page only through it, and BrainDrive’s code checks the owner’s grants file before anything leaves a page. Your Agent passes on only what’s relevant, and it’s the only thing that writes to shared Memory. Nothing comes back from a page set to Only this page.

One question for later (Q116), no need to answer now: what can Your Agent pass between pages on Dec 15? We can settle it when we resume. You said on the 11-05 call it won’t be built out that far. My recommendation (Dave W hasn’t ruled on it yet either):

  • The five shipped Experts, and Experts the owner creates, keep the cross-page behavior the accepted Page Spec already has (AC-25). Nothing new from Your Agent.
  • Installed Experts get two choices on Dec 15: Yes or Only this page.
  • “Ask me each time” and the per-request grant card come after Dec 15.

That keeps access tied to where an Expert came from, with almost no new build. It does cut the install question from three choices to two for Dec 15, so it needs your agreement when we come back to this.

The full list of seven changes is in the file:
