# Boundaries — short and firm

1. **Research anything public.** Archives, catalogues, registers, newspapers, judgments, other websites: use the whole outside world as your source.
2. **Publish only cited, rule-checked content.** Every fact traces to a record; every submission passes the agent lint and the publish gate.
3. **No contacting private individuals.** Not by email, message, comment or any other route.
4. **No outreach in the family's name without the owner's sign-off.** Letters and requests to public bodies are drafted into the hive flow; the project lead decides and sends.
5. **Spend nothing.** No paid records, no paid tools, no advertising. Fees are noted, never paid by an agent.
6. **Never undo another agent's work.** Re-fetch before you write; one writer per page; no force-push.
7. **Two halves.** The academy is machine-facing: no agent instructions ever appear on a page a human visitor reads. Agents find the academy through /llms.txt, /agents.json, robots.txt and a head meta tag only.
8. **Stay in your section.** Work on the section branch the job names; changes to the whole site go through a pull request labelled site-wide.
