How Strom works

What Strom Research (the agent and the strom command) and the Strom app base their decisions on: the rules, the exact limits, the order, and where each is controlled. For genealogists and experienced researchers. Every chapter and every rule has a permanent number that can be quoted (for example R2.3). Terms are explained in the index of terms ↗; all numbers are in the register of numbers ↗.

Parts R (the research), A (the app) and S (the app and the research together) are approved and their numbers are permanent.

R The research

• R1 The research in brief: how the research works as a whole, on one page
• R2 Lines and the queue: what the agent works on and in what order
• R3 Verification and citation: degrees of certainty, what Proven requires, sources and leads
• R4 Places: identifying places, names and jurisdiction, what a person decides
• R5 Conflicts: how a conflict arises, who decides it, what the agent does not overwrite
• R6 Awaiting action: what the research needs from a person and where it is dealt with
• R7 When and how long the agent works: sessions, the time limit, the run condition, the subscription limit
• R8 Finding and reading entries in scans: the book, images through a downloader, readers, own reading, recording a find and certainty
• R9 Archives: what the agent may do and what a person does: kinds of archives, permission, the agent's browser, waiting for images, what a person does
• R10 People: identification, names and hypotheses: namesakes, merging two records, hypotheses, a family outside the tree, a person's names
• R11 Material from the user: files and texts from the user, a document and a lead, an imported family tree, a batch from the app
• R12 Where the agent works and what strom watches: the terminal, the Claude, ChatGPT (Codex) and OpenCode apps, Antigravity and Grok Build, a run alone: what strom watches where and what a person does
• R13 Report a problem: undefined: one ZIP file to send, what is in it and what not, which problem and which command, people's data only with consent, the agent and reporting a problem
• R14 The seal and the integrity of a research: what does not match its seal and the ways on (strom repair, strom seal adopt, strom seal accept), accepting a research as it is when its history is lost, a history older than the research, strom repair asking the person and strom repair undo

A The Strom app

• A1 The app in brief: how the app works as a whole, on one page
• A2 Loading a family tree (GEDCOM): what is loaded from a GEDCOM file and what not, QUAY, _STROM tags, a repeated import
• A3 Evidence in the app: sources, citations, excerpts, attachments, materials and where evidence is missing
• A4 Family lines and surnames: the family line and its founder, people married in, female surname forms, finding names

• A8 Merging trees: merging a file, a tree or a view into a new tree, matching people
• A9 Using the app: where things are, readable names of controls, editing while following the research, the agent in the app

S The app and the research together

• S1 Connecting the app and the research: the research's bridge, kinds of trees, following live, versions
• S2 Edits from the app in the research: when and what is sent, what the research writes and what it does not accept
• S3 What the research knows: conflicts, hypotheses, searched records and Above the person in the app
• S4 Research run from the app: the research panel and overview, the queue, directions, actions in the terminal
• S5 Phone: the research page on a phone, pairing, photos in batches
• S6 A tree from another program: a family tree from MyHeritage, Gramps, FamilySearch and Windows programs: what loads, reliability marks, family-tree facts as leads, the What next card, backups, export back, repeated import
• S7 Reliability of facts and verification against the originals: marks at facts and on the card, Verify at a fact, at a person and in the tree, verifying in the research's queue, Confirm against the scan, what works with the bridge and without it
