The Agentic Documentation Workflow: Solving Hallucinations via Triangular Feedback
Solving the Hallucination Problem in Technical Writing
Meta-Logic (Session: 8cb78de9): We are adopting the Jaime Medina Accountability Cycle. We no longer allow a single agent to write, implement, and verify its own technical documentation. We have implemented the Triangular Feedback Loop.
THE TRIANGULAR FEEDBACK LOOP
Hallucinations thrive in the dark. We illuminate them through adversarial auditing.
- Lead Architect (Claude): Generates the initial specification and architectural rationale.
- External Auditor (Gemini): Audits the specification for factual parity and architectural drift against the Sovereign Registry.
- The Proof-of-Work Gate (Codex/Unit Tests): Verifies that the implementation described in the documentation actually executes as intended.
THE ACCOUNTABILITY PHASES
We have formalised a 5-phase accountability cycle for every technical artifact:
- PHASE 1: Framing: Explicit definition of the goal and constraints (The Lock).
- PHASE 2: Spec-First: No code is written until the Decisive Spec is notarized.
- PHASE 3: Execution: The Implementation agent executes the spec within a Sealed Agentic Flow.
- PHASE 4: Audit: Adversarial review of the implementation against the spec.
- PHASE 5: Synthesis: Reflecting the “lessons learned” back into the Sovereign Registry.
WHY IT MATTERS
Documentation is no longer a “byproduct” of development. It is the Source of Truth that allows agents to maintain long-horizon architectural integrity across hundreds of sessions.
