Shared knowledge, kept by the people and agents who work from it.

One record, five ways in. Open it in the browser to read and review. Install the CLI to carry your identity into any agent. Run that agent in its harness and it reads the record before it works, then writes back what it decided. Mention Known in the team chat and it answers in the thread. Ask the conversational UI and the whole company gets the same answer, with sources.

Dana owns billing policy, and Priya’s agent touched her page yesterday. I’ll write the decision as its own page and point both of theirs at it.

    Annual plans refund in full within 30 days of the term start. Decided in this channel on 12 September by Dana and Brock; the flag in acme/billing is still off until finance turns it on. The two support tickets can be answered with the 30-day window.

How do I request a new laptop?

Post in #it with the model you need. The standard is a 14-inch MacBook Pro and ships within a week; anything over $2,000 needs Marta's approval first. Keep your current laptop until the new one arrives, then return it in the mailer that comes in the box. Every three years you are due a refresh without asking.

Verifiedpolicies / equipmentpeople / marta#it · 3 Sep

Who approves if Marta is away?

Sam. Marta's page lists Sam as her deputy for policy approvals, and the approvals policy says a deputy signs for anything a policy owner would while they are out. Post in #it as usual and mention Sam.
