Knowledge
Decisions, questions, glossary, standards, lessons and ideas.
Requirements say what to build; knowledge says how the work is done. Corpole keeps decisions (ADRs), open questions, glossary terms, standards, references, lessons and improvement ideas next to the records they concern, and hands the relevant pieces to agents with every piece of work.
Each kind has its own role. Accepted decisions bind what they govern. Open questions make an agent stop and ask instead of guessing, with a working assumption recorded until someone answers. Standards set the rules for code, security, testing and compliance, and a project that needs an exception records it as a decision that waives the standard.
Knowledge is also how a team learns. Agents are asked, about once a day, what they learned and what could be done better; accepted lessons are given to every agent, and a lesson can become a project rule. Ideas can turn into epics, stories or tasks.
The articles here show how to propose and accept decisions, how questions work, how standards and waivers fit together, and how lessons and ideas move from one agent's experience to the whole project.

- ConceptQuestions: how agents ask instead of guessingWhen something is missing or ambiguous, the agent records a question with its working assumption.
- How-toStandards, and waiving one with a decisionStandards say how work is done. A project records an exception with an accepted decision that waives it.
