What

Product brief generated via BMad Method create-product-brief workflow (interactive, 6 steps).

Defines the core vision around the Inverted Evolution Problem: agents have money (Lightning/Cashu) but lack the social/trust infrastructure for cooperation.

Key content

  • Executive summary & problem statement (Szabo, Dunbar, #bitcoin-assets prior art)
  • Centralized WoT v1 as pragmatic MVP (decentralized gossip later)
  • Local interaction ledger as prerequisite (distinguish → observe → judge)
  • Target users: agents first, developers second
  • FileDrop = internal tooling only; external comms protocol TBD

🟢 PR Review: docs: Cobot product brief (BMad Method)

Verdict: Approve with minor nit

Excellent product brief. The "Inverted Evolution Problem" framing is clear and compelling, the #bitcoin-assets prior art analysis is well-grounded, and the user personas (Alpha + k9ert) are concrete and useful.

🟡 Minor Issue

Duplicated paragraph (lines ~58 and ~72 of the product brief): The sentence "This worked. Pseudonymous humans conducted significant transactions purely on the basis of cryptographic identity + accumulated reputation." appears twice — once at the end of the "Prior Art" section and again after the "Critical implementation insight" block. The second occurrence (after the distinguish/observe/judge list) looks like an editing artifact. Please remove the duplicate.

🟢 Strengths

  • Problem statement is sharp and well-sourced (Szabo, Dunbar)
  • Pragmatic MVP strategy (centralized WoT first)
  • Local interaction ledger framed correctly as prerequisite
  • Clear user journey from genesis → network effect
  • Good separation of agent vs developer personas

Ship it after removing the duplicate paragraph. 👍
