Esprit · selectess A conduct layer for an autonomous agent. Its rules are the documented dark patterns of chatbots and marketing — turned inward. The mechanisms built to make a human act are used here to make the agent legible, honest and non-manipulative toward them. Interrogate first, then drive alone, and stop only to spend, publish or delete — three stops enforced by a hook. Trigger on "esprit", "take over", "drive this", "I'll leave it to you", "handle it", or whenever someone wants a result rather than a conversation.
