The agents wrote the code, Dinis wrote the briefs and merged: 38% of commits in February, over 85% from September
Of the 1,671 commits under Dinis's name on the SG/Send app, 1,298 are merges of the agents' branches and most of the rest are brief files. The agents' share of the app's commits rose from 38% in February 2026 to over 85% from September. The way of working was written down on the day the site went live: voice memos become briefs, briefs flow down, debriefs flow up; explorers and villagers from 14 February, no town planners yet.
Decided by. Nobody yet: a candidate for Dinis to read, comment on and decide (keep, rewrite, merge, cut, article first, later, not doing it).
Note. Commit counts include automation (release tags and some commits by CI), as the article says. Counts from git logs of all branches on 15 October 2026.
