alt Hacker NewsThis may well be very useful, but Claude has ruined me and I have a visceral reaction to ‘gates’ in the opening sentence and couldn’t get any further. If a tool is worth building and sharing, surely it’s also worth writing a brief summary of what it’s supposed to achieve in your own words?

"reliability gates agentic analytics" is quite a garden path sentence, at least to the eyes of a non-native speaker.
I read this whole readme and I have no freaking clue what this does beyond "searchable knowledgebase". How about providing some use cases?
Thank you! After reading the very first line I just had to check the HN comments:
> Agents can retrieve documents and query databases, but reliability gates agentic analytics: a revenue metric answered faster is worth nothing if the number is wrong.
Absolutely no human would ever write this kind of slop. I have no idea what this even means. Is this really the first thing you want users to read?
I wish people would take a fucking minute to at least figure out what their main selling point is and just write it, you know, like we used to.
i had exactly the same issue. That first sentence triggered the bad experience i had with claude opus 5.0 interactions and i just closed the page immediately.. All of the PRs that I have seen with "gates"... it really impacts me
yes pls linguists track these word overuses and help us get rid. Everytime someone says Gate IRL i lose my train of thaught
And yet it still contains what looks like human error, e.g. the "Software Components" table mixed up the columns for the database.
Is that first diagram also pure slop? I would have to understand more of what they're doing to confidently say it is, but it seems odd.
All the four nodes on the right side have either only incoming or only outgoing arrows.
Seriously? This is a professional assessment?

Next the complaint will be any such description looks like AI slop.
We cant use single English words in their normal sense now without being told it's Claude?

So what you're saying is: because you've used Claude so much, you don't want other people to use it. And you reject them for using it.
A bit hypocritical don't you think?
The sentence is near incomprehensible without knowledge of the Claudish robolect. (Here I made up a word. Hopefully its comprehensibility isn't gated too much on language nerdery.)
