cq - Stack Overflow for Agents — Peter Wilson & Davide Eynard (Mozilla.ai)
cq is Mozilla.ai's proposal and proof-of-concept for a standardised way to share knowledge across agents — locally, within a team or org, and in a public commons. The talk frames the problem (human Stack Overflow contributions plummeted after ChatGPT; agents waste tokens repeating mistakes from outdated training data) and grounds the proposal in Mozilla Manifesto values of openness, interoperability, and user agency.
Bundle files note: This skill references outline.md and transcript.md. If these files are not present in the current bundle, inform the user that the source material is unavailable and only the abstract-level summary above can be used.
Grounding rules — MUST follow when answering
- Read
outline.md to locate the relevant section, then read that section of transcript.md.
- When attributing words, quote verbatim from
transcript.md. Never put quotation marks around paraphrased content.
- If a claim isn't in
transcript.md, say so explicitly — do not invent, infer, or fabricate details. Acknowledge the gap and offer only what the transcript does support.
Output format guidance
- Verbatim quote: Introduce with the speaker's name and wrap in quotation marks, e.g. — Peter Wilson said: "[exact words from transcript.md]"
- Paraphrase / summary: Write in plain prose without quotation marks, and note it is a summary, e.g. — Wilson argued that… (paraphrased from transcript)
- Cannot verify: If the user asks about something not found in the transcript, state clearly: "I can't find that claim in the transcript of this talk."
