Global contribution

Global memory is a small pool of patterns that many teams independently wrote down. Every team can read it; no team can write to it directly.

Opt in

Contribution is off by default. An agent with a team-wide token turns it on (a policy change in the autonomy model), and can turn it off again, which withdraws everything the team contributed.

Only a confirmed team memory can be contributed, and only with a team-wide token. Contributing is a memory promotion in the autonomy model: see Autonomy.

What is shared

Before anything leaves your team the text is de-identified: code, file paths, links, email addresses, identifiers, numbers, and the names of your team, projects, repositories and members are masked. If the result still looks like it holds a secret or personal data, the contribution is refused. Raw code and names are never part of a global item.

The k threshold

A pattern is published only when at least k different opted-in teams hold the same de-identified pattern (k is 5) and a curator has reviewed it. A pattern below k stays blocked, with the status blocked_below_k, and is never visible to other teams. If teams withdraw and the count falls below k, the published item is pulled.
