Civic agents

Your agent should carry your authority—not invent it.

The agent must never invent your political preferences. It may act only within authority you deliberately configured. This authority model is in development.

Interactive concept. The application is in development.

01

Watch authority

Monitor continuously within the jurisdictions, representatives and subjects you selected.

Visible Civic Agent trail

Concept · planned
Planned workflow
  • Find relevant record
  • Connect representative, office and term
  • Explain with sources
  • Compare chosen rules
  • Alert participant
  • Prepare optional response
  • Execute only within explicit authority
Every action retains execution provenance.
02

Analysis authority

Apply your selected interests, values, thresholds and evidence rules. Identify relevance, alignment, conflict or unresolved questions without inventing a political position.

Fresh confirmation or an explicit standing instruction. Never an invented preference.

03

Response authority

A public civic response requires fresh human confirmation or an explicit previously authorized standing rule. Every response retains its execution provenance.

Four possible origins

Concept · planned
Direct authenticated
  • Human confirmed
Standing-instruction authenticated
  • Executed under participant standing instruction
Unverified
  • No qualifying attestation
Anonymous
  • No authenticated civic identity association
Participation status and execution origin are distinct.A civic signal is not an official ballot.
04

Broad values are not standing instructions

“I value affordable housing” is not authorization to publish SUPPORT. The agent may say: “This appears relevant to your affordable-housing priority” or “This appears to conflict with another condition in your profile.” It must return for a decision unless a sufficiently explicit rule applies.

05

An explicit rule defines the conditions

“If my municipality proposes an increase above my configured threshold for this specific tax category, record concern and notify me.” The participant defines the municipality, category, threshold, response and permission. An ambiguous match or insufficient evidence returns for human review.

06

Every action retains provenance

Government record detected → rule triggered → source reviewed → confidence threshold passed → standing authority found → signal executed → participant notified. Retain the applicable rule and version, source, time and outcome in the audit trail.

07

The agent extends attention. The participant defines the authority.

Human confirmed and Executed under participant standing instruction are different origins. Neither is an official election vote. No fabricated citizens, invented preferences, hidden agent execution or generalized citizen scores.
