The pitch
Most documentation tools tell you what you typed. Oompa tells you what happens next in the factory. Five new slash commands surface the factory pipeline directly inside the editor — no dashboard, no context switch, no “ask the observability team.”| Command | What it inserts | Who does the work |
|---|---|---|
/winnow | Quality-score callout — slop rating, entity count, confidence | the-winnower (nut-sorting room) |
/extract | Entity table — type, name, confidence for every entity found | the-winnower |
/wrap | Tag resolution status — resolved / unresolved per cross-repo link | the-wrapper (press room) |
/pour | Hydration preview — blocks rendered, fields written, open failures | the-mould (inventing room) |
/conch | Cross-platform sync status — last sync per vault, open conflicts | the-conch (fudge room) |
The story
Every other editor treats authoring as a solo act. The author types; the tool formats; publish is a one-way throw over the wall. Oompa treats authoring as a conversation with the factory: you type, the factory winnows, you see the verdict inline. You type/wrap, the press room tells you which tags didn’t resolve before you ship.
This is what it looks like when the pipeline has opinions and the pipeline is not hiding in Grafana.
Why now
The five commands ship with a stack upgrade: four new Python services (the-winnower, the-conch, the-mould, the-wrapper) running on three new NATS JetStream streams (coordination, hydration, resolution) and one extended stream (refinement gainedSlopDetected, EntityExtracted, DocumentWinnowed events). Every equipment piece maps to a canonical factory room in the Veritas brand guardrails (NDC-007 now blocks duplicate symbol mapping; NDC-008 blocks googlable chocolate terms).
This is load-bearing brand work, not ornament. The mythology is the positioning.
The headline number
22 slash commands. Four equipment services. Three new event domains. Ed25519 on every block. One new editor block kind (quality-score callout, amber border). Zero rollbacks shipping it.The positioning tagline
“Type /. The factory does the rest.”
Who to tell
- Engineering leaders who already run observability dashboards and still ship broken docs — the pipeline moves closer to the author, the docs get scored before publish.
- Documentation leads whose authors route around verification — the verification becomes a slash command, not a meeting.
- Compliance teams tracking block-level signatures — the quality score now accompanies the signature on every authored block.
