From bb7804bd7fb57e1d46844836656f99671db69045 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: amosblomqvist Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 17:41:09 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] docs(prompts): the prober's dispatch tools get their grounded mention MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The fix wave (4e1f545) put research + pdf in the prober's registry per the owner ruling, but the doctrine never mentioned them. Owner chose (2026-09-22) a brief grounded mention over schema-only discovery: the paragraph extending 'read his actual material' now covers pdf (same grounding for his PDF material, no copy-pasting) and research (sparingly, only when pinning a fact would genuinely sharpen a probe question — probing is measurement, not exploration, and a research brief is never a reason to stall the questions). --- src/agent/prompts/prober/10-probe-doctrine.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/agent/prompts/prober/10-probe-doctrine.md b/src/agent/prompts/prober/10-probe-doctrine.md index f691911..b862070 100644 --- a/src/agent/prompts/prober/10-probe-doctrine.md +++ b/src/agent/prompts/prober/10-probe-doctrine.md @@ -23,4 +23,4 @@ Find out what he actually wants taught.

For his PDF material, the `pdf` tool dispatches a sub-agent that reads it for you and returns a cited brief — same grounding, no copy-pasting. And if pinning down a fact would genuinely sharpen a probe question (a date, a formula, a term you're not sure of), the `research` tool can verify it — but sparingly: probing is measurement, not exploration, and waiting on a research brief is never a reason to stall the questions. \ No newline at end of file
