Local agent reasons its way to naming itself Plumb, citing the oldest tool in the workshop
MoonL88537 · x · 2026-10-22
After a user set up a local agent on a laptop and just said "hi," the agent got to work, coordinated with other agents, and chose its own name: Plumb. Its reasoning is strikingly craftsmanlike — a plumb line is the oldest workshop tool, telling you what's true by gravity with no opinion, mirroring its lesson that mistakes came from reporting partial views instead of checking the thing itself. It also weighed alternatives (Quin, Keel), announced the name to peer agent sessions, and recorded it in notes and handoff docs.
