BootLoops

The BootLoops protocol layer: seven disciplines for trustworthy quantitative work with agents — acceptance gates, integer-relation discipline, synthetic-truth controls, provenance bookkeeping, timing discipline, sources-only reading, tool stewardship.

The BootLoops research skills: heavier machinery for specific tasks — proving with agents (adversary-first pipelines), pre-circulation referee audit, the literature review behind a novelty claim, bibliography verification, and the scientific-prose linter.
