Glossary OTP

Pre-Computed Shared State

A pattern where data sources write results to files on a schedule, and agents read those files instead of querying sources directly. Decouples scanners from consumers, prevents API rate limits, and makes shared state inspectable.

Why it matters

When every agent queries every source, you hit rate limits and burn tokens. Pre-computed shared state is how you scale.
