Page contract
Knowledge Article Contract
A wiki.us article should be more than prose.
It should be a contract between the human reader, the AI agent, the source trail, and the future maintainer.
The article object
- HTML for reading
- Markdown for portability
- JSON for machines
- claim ledger for assertions
- source ledger for evidence
- uncertainty notes for limits
- revision history for memory
- citation guidance for agents
The minimum serious page
A serious wiki.us page should answer what question it addresses, what claims it makes, which sources support those claims, which claims are disputed or incomplete, what changed since the last revision, what an agent can safely carry forward, and what a human should review before relying on it.
Static first
The first useful version of this contract does not need a large live backend. Static HTML, Markdown, JSON, and ledger files can define the pattern before a generation engine exists.
