section-pass — one agent per section, the details put in

If you're working on a long, persuasive page, you know the challenge of maintaining detail and precision throughout. That's where "section-pass" comes in, a method that emphasizes clarity and specificity in every section of a document. The process is straightforward and involves using one agent per section to ensure each part of the document provides value and evidence.

The "section-pass" process is specifically designed for documents that need a second, detailed review rather than a quick read. The key is to have each agent focus solely on their assigned section without being influenced by others. This is a systematic approach where agents are tasked with several specific questions for each section.

The first step is to gather all necessary inputs. You'll need the full text of the document, divided into sections. For a DeepReport page, use the markdown export file found at /brand-pass/deep/<slug>/report.md. This ensures that every section is considered independently and thoroughly.

The reader's profile is another critical input. The process demands a specific reader profile rather than a generic demographic. This means understanding who the reader is and what they specifically look for in the text. This personalized approach helps tailor each section to meet the reader's expectations.

A crucial part of the process is the "proof inventory." This inventory lists everything the reader might want, including what it is, its function, and a public link for verification. The sources for this inventory include several internal and external documents like ProductOS/AppsOS/APP-PORTFOLIO-BOARD.md and public URLs such as teneo.io and conversos.ai. The rule is simple: if a claim can't be publicly linked, it can't be included in the document.

Once the inputs are ready, the agent for each section answers a set of questions. First, they determine the purpose of their section. If the section is merely a transition, it may be subject to removal. Next, they identify what the reader expects from the section that it currently lacks. They also cross-reference the proof inventory to see if any relevant information is missing.

Agents must also identify any sentences that add no value—statements without evidence, redundant claims, or unnecessary explanations. These must be cut or replaced with factual content. Additionally, agents look for ways to enhance the section with examples, numbers, or screenshots, but only using verified information from the inventory.

The "section-pass" process is mechanical and rigorous, ensuring that every word serves a purpose. By focusing on specifics and evidence, it transforms a general draft into a precise, reader-focused document. This method is a practical solution for those building autonomous-business documentation, where precision and clarity are non-negotiable.
