为什么现在做

#3141 的 blog 刻意没用 "~1% code surface" —— 它要对比的传统实现不存在,比值是个反事实。结果站上出现了自相矛盾:blog 说这个数字没法引用,首页和 README 还在拿它打头

而且核实时发现一处更硬的问题:concepts/metadata-driven.mdx 标题写 "~100× Less Code",两行之后它自己给的证据是 ~300 行 → ~30 行标题是自己例子的 10 倍。

换成能测的

examples/app-crm(6 对象 + 视图 + 仪表盘 + 转换流程 + 权限集 + 动作 + 翻译)= 31 文件 / 1,792 行 / ~16k tokens —— 整个业务系统,占 200k 窗口的 8%。它就在仓库里,两个文档页都给了复算命令:

find examples/app-crm/src -name '*.ts' -not -name '*.test.ts' | xargs cat | wc -l

这是更强的主张,不是更弱的

"写得少"是效率论证,竞品能抄;"agent 能把整个依赖图握在手里,所以能回答改这个会坏什么"是能力论证,前提是系统真的那么小 —— 抄不走。

而且两个文档页本来就有 "The point isn't lines of code — it's fit in an agent's context window" 这句正确论证,只是被前面那个编造的倍数盖住了。现在让它站到前台。

改动

  • 首页:lead 的"~1% of a traditional codebase" → "a complete CRM is under 2,000 lines, so the whole app fits in the agent's context";proof chip ~1% code surfaceFits in an agent's context
  • README:同上 + CRM 实测表 + 复算命令
  • metadata-driven.mdx:标题脱离倍数;单 feature 的 300→30 降为旁注,应用级实测升为主证
  • how-ai-development-works.mdx:"two orders of magnitude" → 实测

四处残留检查 = 0。数字已复算(1,792 行 / 31 文件)。types:check ✅ · build

没动的

www.objectos.ai 仍在 8 个语言里用 ~1% / ~100x —— 那是姊妹站的口径,不该单方面改。要不要同步,是维护者的决定(两站 hero 镜像句不受影响,proof strip 本来就不完全相同)。

…tually make

The blog post that landed in #3141 deliberately declined to use "~1% code
surface" — the traditional implementation it would be measured against
doesn't exist, so the ratio is a counterfactual nobody has measured. That
left the site arguing two things at once: the blog saying the number isn't
sourceable, the homepage and README still leading with it.

Worse, concepts/metadata-driven.mdx headed a section "~100× Less Code" and
then, two lines down, gave its own evidence: ~300 lines → ~30 lines. The
heading was 10× its own example.

So all four surfaces now carry the fact instead of the ratio.
examples/app-crm — six objects, views, a dashboard, a lead-conversion
flow, permission sets, actions, translations — is 31 files, 1,792 lines,
~16k tokens: the whole business system in about 8% of a 200k-token
window. It ships in this repo, and both docs pages give the one-line
command to recount it.

This is a stronger claim, not a weaker one. "Less code" is an efficiency
argument a competitor can copy; "the agent can hold the entire dependency
graph, so it can answer *what breaks if I change this?*" is a capability
argument that depends on the system actually being that small. Both docs
pages already made the context-window point — it was buried under the
invented multiple.

- homepage: lead + `~1% code surface` chip → `Fits in an agent's context`
- README: same, with the CRM measurement and the recount command
- metadata-driven.mdx: section retitled off the ratio; per-feature 300→30
  kept as an aside, app-level measurement made the headline
- how-ai-development-works.mdx: "two orders of magnitude" → the measurement

Not touched: www.objectos.ai still carries ~1% / ~100x across eight
locales. That's a sister-site call, not a unilateral one.
