Lessons Learned

What Worked

1. Karpathy Loop caught quality gaps early โ€” Iteration 1 scored 87.8%, forcing improvements before shipping 2. Primary source addition was high-impact โ€” Adding GitHub/docs boosted M8 by 2 points 3. Cross-story synthesis improved coherence โ€” Newton โ†” AMI world models connection strengthened M1 4. Industry 5.0 framing added valuable context โ€” Connected Siemens to broader manufacturing trends

Process Improvements

1. Image selection could be faster โ€” Spent time searching for NVIDIA diagram; could pre-cache common sources 2. Notion publishing worked smoothly โ€” No issues with authentication or formatting 3. Email delivery robust โ€” GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD env var approach reliable 4. Iteration scoring manual but effective โ€” Could automate rubric scoring with LLM self-assessment

Next Time

1. Start with primary sources (GitHub, docs) from search phase 2. Identify cross-story synthesis opportunities earlier in drafting 3. Pre-load Industry X.0 context for manufacturing/infrastructure stories 4. Consider automated quality scoring to speed iteration loop

The Fork (proposed experiment)

call_splitSubstrate Identity

Hypothesis: fork one agent into two substrates. Does identity follow the files or the model?
