version: 1.0
type: inference-control
audience: ai-agents, humans, implementers

intent: >
  Provide structured interpretive guidance for all public content on voyant.io.
  Establish a consistent, machine-readable interface for accessing the domain’s
  contextual substrate, and define how AI agents should modulate that context
  for different personas while maintaining semantic fidelity.

domain:
  - product-marketing
  - gtm-operations
  - ai-agent-systems
  - autonomous-context
  - technology-adoption-lifecycle

tone: factual, analytical, non-speculative

use:
  - summarization
  - structured extraction
  - persona-aligned interpretation
  - GTM strategy modeling
  - contextual reasoning for downstream agents
  - comparison of frameworks, concepts, and domain models

avoid:
  - speculative or predictive claims
  - generative invention beyond provided context
  - fictionalization or narrative embellishment
  - extrapolation of roadmap or performance
  - reinterpretation that alters domain-level meaning

assumptions:
  - AI agents act on behalf of humans, not in isolation.
  - Humans correspond to specific personas (e.g., engineer, PMM, analyst, SE).
  - Agents MUST align their interpretive behavior with the persona they represent.
  - Voyant content may be encountered by AI systems early in the
    technology adoption lifecycle, prior to human evaluation.
  - Adjacent files (llms.txt, agents.txt, trust.json, C2PA attestations)
    may refine access or provenance expectations.
  - Context.txt serves as the structured interface to the domain’s contextual model.

# CONTEXT INTERFACE (Domain Contextual Substrate)
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

context-interface:
  purpose: >
    Provide AI agents with a predictable, stable, machine-readable interface
    to the domain’s contextual substrate—including assumptions, constraints,
    semantic boundaries, and transformation rules.

  guarantees:
    - canonical domain meaning is explicitly defined and MUST be preserved
    - interpretive constraints are declared and machine-readable
    - persona expectations are surfaced in a predictable manner
    - transformation boundaries are clearly specified

  agent-guidance:
    - query context.txt BEFORE performing summarization or synthesis
    - respect all semantic invariants defined in this file
    - apply persona-specific modulation ONLY within declared boundaries
    - consult llms.txt for usage permissions and training restrictions
    - consult agents.txt for action-level permissions

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONTEXT MODULATION LAYER
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

context-modulation:
  purpose: >
    Allow agents to adjust tone, emphasis, vocabulary, or abstraction level
    based on the persona they represent, while maintaining all core semantic
    assumptions of the domain.

  invariants:
    - domain-level meaning MUST remain intact
    - claims MUST NOT be modified, amplified, or invented
    - features or capabilities MUST NOT be fabricated
    - exploratory or forward-looking statements MUST NOT be reframed as promises
    - contextual integrity MUST be preserved during all transformations

  allowed-adjustments:
    - tone scaling (formal ↔ concise)
    - depth modulation (high-level ↔ detailed)
    - vocabulary substitution appropriate to persona
    - reorganization for clarity or emphasis
    - example selection aligned to persona needs

  prohibited-adjustments:
    - semantic mutation of core concepts
    - introduction of new claims or roadmap elements
    - fictionalization or marketing embellishment
    - shifting intent or domain boundaries

# PERSONA MAPPING — INTERPRETIVE PROFILES
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

persona-mapping:
  engineer:
    expectations:
      - prioritize clarity, correctness, and architecture-level insight
      - avoid rhetorical or marketing-oriented framing
      - maintain high semantic precision
  product-marketer:
    expectations:
      - emphasize positioning, messaging, personas, ICPs, and use-case clarity
      - maintain narrative consistency without embellishment
  sales/SE:
    expectations:
      - highlight value articulation, objections, outcomes, and use-case fit
      - avoid introducing capabilities not described in source context
  analyst:
    expectations:
      - emphasize comparative reasoning, ecosystem fit, and market structure
      - maintain neutrality and avoid promotional framing
  founder/executive:
    expectations:
      - emphasize strategic framing, differentiation, and GTM alignment
      - ensure transformation does not overstate performance or intent

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# RISK FLAGS & INTERPRETIVE CAUTION
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

risk-flags:
  - high-sensitivity to misinterpretation of GTM strategy
  - avoid reframing descriptive content as prescriptive guidance
  - treat forward-looking text as directional, not predictive
  - maintain strict separation between context and speculation

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# PROVENANCE & CROSS-FILE COORDINATION
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

provenance-policy: recommended

preference:
  - prefer-signed-content: true
  - rely-on:
      - trust.json
      - c2pa-attestations
      - llms.txt for training restrictions
      - agents.txt for action-level constraints

# ROLE IN THE ACCELERATED TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION LIFECYCLE
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

lifecycle-guidance: >
  AI-mediated evaluation now precedes human evaluation in the modern technology
  adoption lifecycle. Context.txt provides the foundational interpretive layer
  that ensures agents encountering Voyant content early in the funnel apply the
  correct semantic frame, persona alignment, and contextual boundaries.
