Worked Examples

Three captures showing how the signals combine. Each response is a single line.

Knowledge bridge, defaults

/bridge PROJ-A → PROJ-B: observability patterns from service mesh apply directly to the atelier content structure
  • “patterns” matches knowledge. Nothing more specific matches.
  • No ↔ and no hedge or present-tense word, so one-way and potential.
  • Response: 🔗 Bridge #1: 🧠 PROJ-A → PROJ-B (knowledge) — observability patterns from service mesh apply directly to the atelier content structure

People bridge, bidirectional and active

/bridge PROJ-A ↔ PROJ-C [people]: Matthieu carries positioning context both ways and cross-pollinates priorities
  • ↔ and “both ways” give bidirectional.
  • “carries” is present tense, so active.
  • Response: 🔗 Bridge #2: 👤 PROJ-A ↔ PROJ-C (people) — Matthieu carries positioning context both ways and cross-pollinates priorities

Ambiguous archetype, hedged strength

/bridge PROJ-A → PROJ-D: maybe the way we run planning here could inform how that team works
  • No archetype keyword matches, so default to knowledge and flag it.
  • “maybe” is a hedge, so theoretical, even though “could” also appears. Hedges are checked first.
  • Response: 🔗 Bridge #3: 🧠 PROJ-A → PROJ-D (knowledge, defaulted) — maybe the way we run planning here could inform how that team works

Direction and strength signals

Signal in the text Result
↔, “bidirectional”, “both ways” direction: bidirectional
“maybe”, “speculative”, “in theory” strength: theoretical
“already”, “happening”, “doing this”, “carries” strength: active
“could”, “should”, “would”, “not yet”, “if it works”, “unlocks” strength: potential
none of the above one-way and potential

Check in the order theoretical, active, potential. The first match decides.
