Table of Contents

(owner-prompted: category index pages)
#

Owner request in chat: give each category its own index page with its own Changes log; AGENTS.md was updated first and this run performed the content migration [glm-5.3-flash]
Created 21 category index pages at agents//_index.md (scope sentence, notes alphabetical with one-line summaries, matrix link, seeded Changes), 180 entries total [glm-5.3-flash]
_index.md restructured to the hub model (the Research index links the 21 category index pages and lists no research notes inline), and foremerge and jevbench (finished and matrix-columned on 2026-09-22) were listed for the first time while four matrix columns were renamed (JetBrains IDEs, Sourcegraph code context platform, File-based agent memory, mem0) with no cells moved [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner request in chat: the section index ordering recommendation adopted; Comparison matrices promoted from a subsection to its own section, and AGENTS.md step 6 documents the rule [glm-5.3-flash]
_index.md: the three sections read essays and trackers, comparison matrices, research index, with the essays list newest first and the matrix and category lists sorted alphabetically, case-insensitive [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner request in chat: add Matt Pocock, Dex Horthy, Armin Ronacher, Mario Zechner, Dax Raad, Peter Steinberger, Boris Cherny, and other well known harness authors; this run added those seven plus Thorsten Ball, eight notes total [glm-5.3-flash]
The request overrides two logged rejections (armin-ronacher, dex-horthy); the commissioned Walden Yan note was dropped unpublished (unverified attribution), and the Dax Raad Exo Labs founder discrepancy is recorded in his note’s Cautions [glm-5.3-flash]
people-and-publications-feature-matrix: extended from thirteen to twenty-one columns and re-sorted alphabetically, with the category index and _index.md updated and the people matrix one-liner re-counted to twenty-one voices [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner request in chat: remove the “Everything below was verified …” preamble line from all matrix pages as low value [glm-5.3-flash]
Removed it from all twenty-one matrices and the two trackers, shortened the legends to “? not verified”, and updated AGENTS.md to bar verification preambles, the trackers keeping a single as-of clause [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner request in chat: add a “top 5 recommended reading” section to the people and publications pages, and AGENTS.md was updated first with the section rule [glm-5.3-flash]
All 21 member notes received the section (five pieces by or featuring the person, best first), selections favoring pieces the category already cites; boris-cherny exercises the documented fifth-line exception [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner request in chat: add the strong candidates from this run’s entrant scan; six notes written: geoffrey-huntley, jesse-vincent, kent-beck, harper-reed, shreya-shankar, paul-gauthier, each with a Top 5 reading section [glm-5.3-flash]
Discovery ran on HN Algolia fetches plus in-corpus cross-references because websearch was down (HTTP 400), and borderline candidates were named to the owner but not written; the matrix extended from twenty-one to twenty-seven columns [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner correction in chat: the people matrix verification-history line this run restored after the 129ef15e sweep is not wanted; AGENTS.md now forbids verification preamble lines on matrices, so the line is removed and a Changes bullet records the removal [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner request in chat: cover the YouTube channels @owainlewis, @RAmjad, and @indydevdan; three notes written, each with a Top 5 recommended reading section of fetched videos [glm-5.3-flash]
people-and-publications-feature-matrix: extended from twenty-seven to thirty columns, re-sorted alphabetically; the category index and the _index.md one-liner re-counted to thirty voices [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner request in chat: add a matrix/index covering the model benchmarks with a one to two sentence summary of what each evaluates [glm-5.3-flash]
Created agents/model-benchmark-matrix/ at the section root: thirty benchmarks in six groups, each row carrying a what-it-evaluates summary plus reading notes, with the curation rule stated and Commit0 dropped because its page is dead; _index.md gained the entry in alphabetical position and the intro sentence extended to cover benchmark instruments [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner request in chat: add a matrix/index for “information” websites (name improved to Trackers and leaderboards); six notes written: ai-release-tracker, artificial-analysis, epoch-ai, llm-stats, lmarena, openrouter-rankings [glm-5.3-flash]
trackers-and-leaderboards-feature-matrix: created with six columns sorted alphabetically and ten rows, naming the two standard misquotations (arena ranks as capability, gateway tokens as market share); the category index was created with six one-line entries and _index.md gained both the matrix and category lines, with LLM Stats the only member carrying a Price history table [glm-5.3-flash]

Owner follow-up in chat: the new matrix covered only ARC-AGI-2, so ARC-AGI-1 (800 tasks, now saturated) and ARC-AGI-3 (interactive game environments) joined as rows, the intro states the new total (thirty-two) and the _index.md one-liner was re-counted [glm-5.3-flash]
