Run the room, by the book.
Everything o8 does, surface by surface — written to be clear for you and queryable by your agents. Each page is stamped against the build it describes, so you can tell when one has gone stale.
Building with an agent? Point it at /llms.txt for the map, or /llms-full.txt for the whole corpus. Every page has a raw .md twin (append .md to any doc URL).

What is o8?
o8 is a control room for autonomous engineering — one orchestrator dispatches a fleet of coding agents, a governance layer reviews every diff, and nothing risky merges without your sign-off.
