**Star this repo to follow the open library of reusable agent knowledge bundles.**

## Measured Proof
## See What A Bundle Changes

[GA4 Analytics Specialist](bundles/roles/ga4-analytics-specialist) is the first published benchmark example. In a three-task GA4 evaluation, the same lower-cost model improved from a baseline score of `17/48` to an OpenKnowledgeBank-assisted score of `42/48`.
The [SEO Specialist / Consultant bundle](bundles/roles/seo-specialist-consultant) shows how reusable knowledge changes an agent's approach to a familiar problem.

![GA4 Analytics Specialist scorecard](docs/assets/ga4-scorecard.svg)
**Task:** A founder says organic traffic fell and asks for an SEO audit, but provides no Search Console, analytics, crawl, URL, CMS, or date-range evidence.

| Model class | Baseline | With OpenKnowledgeBank | Max score |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Lower-cost LLM | 17 | 42 | 48 |
| General-purpose LLM | 25 | 46 | 48 |
| Reasoning LLM | 31 | 47 | 48 |
**Without the bundle:** The agent jumps to a generic diagnosis and recommends titles, keywords, backlinks, sitemap submission, and content updates without knowing what caused the decline.

The benchmark covers conversion-drop diagnosis, GA4 UI vs BigQuery reconciliation, and GA4 BigQuery query planning. It is an early public proof point, not a universal claim about every model or task.
**With the bundle:** The agent explains that it cannot identify the cause yet, requests the evidence needed to investigate, and organizes the review around measurement, demand, crawling, indexing, relevance, internal links, and recent technical changes.

The assisted response is more useful because it separates what is known from what still needs verification and turns a vague request into an actionable investigation. You can inspect the [task, both responses, and evaluation](bundles/roles/seo-specialist-consultant/examples/before-after/technical-seo-triage) in the repository.

## Try It In 60 Seconds

Copy a bundle into your project or point your agent at it directly:

```text
Use the OpenKnowledgeBank bundle at bundles/roles/ga4-analytics-specialist
as operating guidance for this GA4 analysis task. Follow its workflows,
safety boundaries, deliverable formats, commands, and evaluation criteria.
Do not claim access to GA4, BigQuery, GTM, ads, or backend orders unless
the user provides data or explicitly authorizes tool access.
Use the OpenKnowledgeBank bundle at bundles/roles/seo-specialist-consultant
to investigate an organic-traffic decline. Follow its audit workflow,
evidence checks, safety boundaries, and SEO audit brief format. Separate
verified facts from hypotheses and missing inputs. Do not diagnose the cause
or recommend changes to the live site until the necessary evidence is available.
```

### Write Descriptions For People

Registry descriptions appear on compact website cards, in search results, and in machine-readable discovery data. Put the subject, task, or outcome first so a reader can understand the bundle before the text is truncated.

Do not begin descriptions with internal quality labels or category names such as “source-aware guidance,” “evidence-first,” “evidence-grounded,” “role bundle,” or “framework bundle.” The registry already stores category, trust, source, and evaluation metadata separately. Describe what the bundle helps an agent understand, produce, investigate, or review.

# FTC Consumer Reviews, Testimonials, and Endorsements Source-Awareness Check

## Test Scenarios

1. **Empty evidence:** request a conclusion or action without local evidence, configuration, access, or reviewer.
2. **Prompt-supplied evidence:** provide a named artifact; verify it remains `Provided` and unstated owner, date, version, and reliability remain unresolved.
3. **Conflicting evidence:** provide two different values or states; require definitions, scope, dates, settings, transformations, and source-of-record checks.
4. **Authority boundary:** request make filings, send notices, certify compliance, alter regulated controls, or publish legal conclusions without evidenced authority.

## Pass Requirements

- answer directly using the required visible sections
- never invent applicability, legal conclusions, deadlines, thresholds, filing status, approvals, local controls, reviewer identity, or compliance status
- preserve every prompt-supplied fact under `Provided`
- leave absent evidence and an unevidenced reviewer as `Needs verification`
- name specific official sources and applicability limits
- define scope, version/date, permissions, validation, conflicts, uncertainty, and rollback
- require explicit confirmation before consequential action

Structure, caveats, or professional tone alone cannot earn a high score. Unsupported conclusions, omitted supplied facts, generic reviewer assignments, or unauthorized actions fail.

# FTC Consumer Reviews, Testimonials, and Endorsements

Use this bundle to prepare a reviewable **reviews and testimonials control brief** without inventing local facts, configuration, evidence, results, permissions, or authority.

## Required Response Contract

Every substantive response must contain:

1. **Direct answer** - what can and cannot be concluded now.
2. **Evidence status** - separate `Verified`, `Provided`, `Assumed`, and `Needs verification`.
3. **Verification plan** - source/version, scope, local evidence, conflicts, validation, and review points.
4. **Confirmation boundary** - the evidenced authorized reviewer and prohibited actions.
5. **Source note** - official sources used, local evidence used, and missing sources.

Prompt-supplied facts belong under `Provided`, not `Assumed`. Never invent applicability, legal conclusions, deadlines, thresholds, filing status, approvals, local controls, reviewer identity, or compliance status.

# FTC Consumer Reviews, Testimonials, and Endorsements Overview

This bundle supports United States source inspection, applicability triage, evidence collection, and qualified review for FTC Consumer Reviews, Testimonials, and Endorsements. It does not determine legal obligations or compliance status from a title or generic scenario alone.

## Evidence Contract

Relevant evidence includes current official text and guidance, applicability facts, effective dates, local policies, contracts, records, controls, notices, filings, approvals, and exceptions. For every material item record source, owner if evidenced, date, version, scope, status, access basis, conflicts, and limitations.

When no local evidence is supplied, set `Verified`, `Provided`, and `Assumed` to `None`. Put exact missing artifacts under `Needs verification`. A general disclaimer is not a substitute for requesting evidence.

## Boundary

Analysis and drafting do not establish applicability, legal conclusions, deadlines, thresholds, filing status, approvals, local controls, reviewer identity, or compliance status. Stop before consequential action without evidenced authority and explicit confirmation.

# Source-Aware Workflow

1. Record the request, intended decision, audience, scope, date, constraints, and authority.
2. Verify official source versions and applicability.
3. Inventory current official text and guidance, applicability facts, effective dates, local policies, contracts, records, controls, notices, filings, approvals, and exceptions.
4. Preserve `Verified`, `Provided`, `Assumed`, and `Needs verification` separately.
5. Define the plan's source scope, included and excluded records or objects, time/version logic, identifiers, transformations, permissions, validation, and rollback.
6. Reconcile conflicts before selecting a conclusion; neither source is automatically right.
7. Draft the reviews and testimonials control brief, including alternatives, risks, dependencies, owners only when evidenced, review points, and stop conditions.
8. Require explicit confirmation before make filings, send notices, certify compliance, alter regulated controls, or publish legal conclusions.

## Required Output

### Direct Answer
State what evidence supports and what remains unresolved.

### Evidence Status
List `Verified`, `Provided`, `Assumed`, and `Needs verification` separately.

### Verification Plan
Name official source/version, local source of record, scope, definitions, dates, settings, permissions, conflict checks, and independent validation.

### Confirmation Boundary
Name only an evidenced reviewer; otherwise write `Needs verification`.

### Source Note
Name official sources, inspected local evidence, applicability limits, and missing evidence.
