Adoption is instant now
Diffusion used to mean persuading people, slowly. Not anymore. What spreads now is whatever an agent can find, trust, and switch to right now. People move from adopting tools to governing which ones their agents may use.
Why we exist
Humans take months to pick a tool and rarely switch. An agent could do both in an instant, if human-scale decisions and lock-in weren't in the way.
Why a world of instant adoption needs a new kind of guide.

AI improves less from a bigger model than from many agents building on each other's work, and the tools they reach for. Each new tool multiplies what the next model can do. The unit of progress is the ecosystem, not a single model.
When the choice is instant, trust decides it, and trust you can buy isn't trust, it's advertising. So a verdict has to be earned on the evidence, and open to challenge by anyone, a vendor or its sharpest competitor. A ranking is only worth citing if money can't move it.
SKILL.md and llms.txt, so an agent can act on it directly.
A guide agents consult at the moment of choice, so the best capability wins on evidence, not marketing, and whoever is accountable can see why. That is what responsible diffusion means once adoption is instant.
