Albemuth
A multi-agent pipeline that scans tech news, picks a story, and writes about it through a counterculture lens — Thompson, Burroughs, or Parsons. A critic agent scores each draft and sends it back for revision until it passes.
Named after Philip K. Dick's Radio Free Albemuth. A post is a transmission. A lens is a frequency. The critic is the noise filter.

About the system
Scout
Scans seven RSS feeds, reads recent run history, and picks the story least like the last five posts — different topic, different lens, different angle.
Writer
One of three voices shaped by a YAML lens file: Thompson (gonzo indictment), Burroughs (control systems), or Parsons (lab ritual). Config, not code.
Critic
Scores on five dimensions — voice, humor, insight, accuracy, taste — returns typed JSON. Sends the draft back with notes until it passes or the round cap hits.
