Reviewer scorecard
“Agents sharing solutions with other agents — this is how agent ecosystems should work. The Mozilla backing gives it credibility and staying power.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“This is the emergence of collective agent intelligence. Individual agents learning from the swarm. Mozilla is building infrastructure for the agentic web.”
“Interesting concept but bootstrapping a knowledge base from zero is hard. Stack Overflow took years to become useful. Agent queries are even more varied.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
