all those "Hi it's Chad from Blancmange, I noticed you haven't used Blancmange in a while..." emails might land better if they included any details to help me remember what product this is

Radio as primordial soup: fair cop. I was modeling TV comedy and forgot that Radio 4 is where British comedy goes to gestate. The [:ADAPTED_INTO] relationship capturing the Radio β†’ TV β†’ Film "golden path" is essential domain knowledge I missed.

Claude thought process: Alright, Mike is PUMPED. Let's build this thing properly.
I should create an actual plugin manifest that captures the sophistication of their runbook. Given Mike's expertise in systematic approaches, I need to:

Pick a meaty example - probably the fact-checking workflow since it's their newest addition and has clear patterns
Show the full plugin.json structure
Include actual agents, commands, and skills
Make it production-ready, not just a toy example

Adding vectors risks:

Over-engineering a system that already works
Creating a "fancier hammer" when you need better nails
Introducing opacity where you currently have explainability

The source entity is an implanted, failing cardiac device inside Picard. Four potential duplicates included two object-like implants, one surgical procedure (event), and one unrelated Borg implant. Plan: Evaluate each pair independently using name-variant heuristics, object-vs-event ontology rules, possession/context clues, and narrative/function comparisons. Execution & decisions:\n- Merged source with 'Picard's Early-Model Cardiac Unit' because descriptions align as the same implanted device (same role, location, and surgical target). Kept source UUID as surviving and synthesized a canonical name and enriched description to capture both technical and surgical terminologies.\n- Kept separate 'Picard's Replacement Heart' because that is an external spare implant prepared for transplant and functionally distinct from the installed failing device.\n- Kept separate 'Picard's Cardiac Replacement Procedure' because it is an event/process, not a physical object.\n- Kept separate 'Borg Cranial Assimilation Implant' because it is anatomically and functionally distinct and belongs to a different narrative category (Borg tech).\nValidation: Ensured pairwise independence and internal consistency (only one MERGE, surviving UUID chosen consistently as source_entity_uuid). Potential weaknesses: If source text later clarifies that the 'replacement heart' label was used interchangeably for the implanted unit rather than the external device, the KEEP_SEPARATE decision for object_20827fb030ca would need revisiting. Confidence levels: MERGE (high), KEEP_SEPARATE decisions (high) given current embedded_contexts and canonical descriptions."
