  I'm sharing Fair Witness Bot with HN first because this community understands both the technical and philosophical dimensions of AI. The framework needs people who can critique its assumptions and help evolve the implementation. If you've been thinking about epistemology in AI or are just tired of LLM hallucinations, I'd appreciate your perspectives on whether this approach could become a community standard.

  The framework idea and yaml prompt was developed with the assistance of Kagi Assistant and Claude Sonnet 3.7 (Thinking),

  The site was vibe coded with Windsurf Cascade and Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Thinking).

  This is quite a fascinating approach. The system prompt is quite succinct. Does the LLM always follow it in the manner shown in the examples? Do you plan to do any benchmarking?
