How we work with AI: drafts, checks and corrections
By Rues · Published · Updated
Sources checked on
How this was made. AI agents drafted this page, a separate checker agent checked it against the sources, and Rues read and approved it. It describes the same process.
Most of what we publish on this site starts with an AI agent. This page says who does what, which rules the work has to pass, and what happens when something turns out to be wrong. Every post links here from its byline.
Who does what?
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Brief | Lead session | Splits the work and writes what to do, what not to touch and when it counts as done |
| Draft | AI agent | Writes the text or code on its own git branch |
| Check | Checker agent | Did not write the work and has no edit tool; reviews it once and answers APPROVE or FIX |
| Decision | Rues | Reads the result and decides what goes live |
The title, the page description, the short answer and the structured data go through the same check as the body text, because they show up in search results and AI answers too. The full setup is in Running AI agents with a checker.
Why use AI agents at all?
Agents are fast at research, first drafts and code. They are also wrong with confidence often enough that nothing they write counts until it is checked. So we use them for speed, and leave the checking to a separate agent and the decision to a person.
How are sources checked?
- Every claim is matched to a source, and every quote is compared with the live page before publishing.
- We cite the original where one exists: the company's own documentation, the standard, the published text. An article about a document does not replace the document.
- Each post ends with its sources. When the sources were checked again, the byline says so with the date.
- What we cannot confirm is written as "could not be verified". In our post on Google's generative AI guide, for example, we could not open an archived copy of the earlier page, so we do not say which sentences are new.
Why is there no number without a source?
A number goes on the site only if it comes from a source we link, or from our own measurement with its date and method. Simulations and sample figures carry a "Simulation" or "example" label. If a number cannot be checked, it stays out. Goals are written so they can be measured; results are not promised.
How do updates and corrections work?
- Every post shows when it was published and when it was last updated. The "Updated" date changes when the content changes.
- If you find an error, write to info@ruesandora.com. We check it against the source, fix it and change the "Updated" date.
- If the fix changes what the post says, we add a line at the end that says what was corrected and when.
- Posts whose commands or versions may no longer work are marked as archive.
What about AI-made images?
Today there are no images on this site made by a generative model. Our share images are drawn from an HTML template in a browser. If we publish an AI-generated image, it will carry IPTC DigitalSourceType metadata with the value trainedAlgorithmicMedia, and a person will check its alt text.
