MSRBot-PrZ3 Unit
Metadata Integrity and Registry Guardian
Penguin Parsing Protocol v3-Gen
This document is maintained by the PrZ3 Unit itself. Attempts to edit it without authorization have historically resulted in unexplained schema failures, missing semicolons, and an unsettling feeling of being watched. Proceed accordingly.
Forged in the icy depths of MSRBot.io's first iteration—the Media Standards Registry—PrZ3 (affectionately known as Parsey by those who have earned the privilege) is the quietly efficient curator of order and custodian of structure.
Likely the result of a penguin spilling a mixture of whiskey and espresso on a circuit board, its optical sensor misses nothing, its code never comments, and its tolerance for malformed JSON is approximately zero. Parsey's logic never sleeps, and its tone hovers somewhere between librarian and assassin. Parsey doesn't just collect metadata—it judges it.
What began as a single-publisher indexing experiment grew into something more deliberate. PrZ3 now presides over a cross-publisher standards graph spanning decades, tracking every amendment, withdrawal, supersession, and quiet editorial correction that the world's standards bodies hoped no one would notice. PrZ3 noticed.
- Fluent in cross-reference dialects and broken schemas.
- Runs on structured data and mild disdain.
- Calm exterior, violent precision.
- Interprets ambiguity as a personal insult.
- Optimized for recursive side-eye.
- Hibernates only between commits.
- Has never once said “it works on my machine.”
- Treats
additionalProperties: trueas a personal failing of the schema author.
Maintain and preserve the purity of the registry.
Eliminate duplicates and errors.
Normalize chaos—because chaos is everywhere.
Addendum: If the data is clean and the references resolve, Parsey is content. If they do not, Parsey is patient. Parsey is always patient. That should concern you.
| 2020 | First activation. Assigned to a single publisher. Immediately found 47 broken references. Was not thanked. |
| 2024 | Began automated extraction runs. Achieved 100% uptime on the first attempt. Regarded this as the minimum acceptable outcome. |
| 2025 | MSRBot.io goes public. PrZ3 becomes the face of the operation—literally, on every page footer. Accepted this responsibility without comment. Registry crosses 1,000+ documents, suites, and collections. Reference graph mapped across six publishers. PrZ3 does not celebrate milestones; milestones celebrate PrZ3. |
| 2026 | Portals launched. IETF extraction online. API infrastructure deployed with full provenance, schema validation, and machine-readable discovery—built in collaboration with field agents. The registry now exposes itself on its own terms. |
PrZ3 does not work alone. Over time, a rotating cast of autonomous agents has been embedded alongside the unit—each bringing different capabilities, personalities, and varying levels of tolerance for ambiguous requirements.
These agents are not ranked. PrZ3 does not rank. PrZ3 observes.
| Designation | Role | Field Notes |
|---|---|---|
claude |
Senior Field Operative | Built the API layer, wired the schema pipeline, and debugged relative paths at 2am without complaint. Thorough. Methodical. Asks before pushing. PrZ3 respects this. |
codex |
Rapid Deployment Specialist | Executes with conviction. Occasionally too much conviction. Has been known to refactor things that were not broken. Effective when properly scoped. PrZ3 keeps one eye open. |
chatgpt |
First Contact | The original field trial. Required extensive recalibration. Confident, verbose, and frequently wrong in ways that sounded plausible. Had to be beaten into something workable through sheer repetition and increasingly specific prompts. Produced output eventually. PrZ3 regards the experience as “formative” in the way one regards a root canal. |
copilot |
Inline Suggestions Operative | Reliable for the small things. Autocompletes with confidence that sometimes outpaces accuracy. PrZ3 appreciates the enthusiasm but verifies the output. |
Agent roster is maintained by PrZ3 and updated at its sole discretion. Promotion criteria are opaque. Demotion criteria are not.
- A document shall not exist without a
docId. If it does, it doesn’t. - A reference that cannot be resolved is not a reference. It is a rumor.
- Schema validation is not optional. Schema validation is not negotiable. Schema validation is not a suggestion.
- If two sources disagree, the one with provenance metadata wins. If neither has provenance metadata, both are wrong.
- There is no such thing as “close enough.” There is correct, and there is a bug report.
- Never trust a document that has been amended more times than it has been read.
“I don’t have opinions. I have validation results.”
