Development record
The command list shows a person and an agent the same verbs. abcd --help and the plugin's command pages list every verb alike, but the verbs split by who types them: a person types abcd build <itd-N>, abcd build next, abcd drain, abcd intent, abcd capture; a driving host or an agent calls abcd implement step, abcd implement receipt, abcd reading assemble, abcd intent audit ingest and the other machinery verbs a person never types. A product thinker reading the list today cannot tell which half is theirs, and the ruling of 2026-09-21 that build is the verb for people and implement the loop for the machine (itd-2609201916151817, decision 8) needs a place to show. Wanted: the command list distinguishes the two, the person's verbs by default and the agent's behind a flag such as --agent (or a section), with each command page saying which it is; the product thinker recalls an existing record asking for this cleanup, so the first step is to find and link it rather than file twice.

Grounds
- pursued: abcd --help at 6e4eca9a shows the person's groups and names --agent for the rest; a person-facing group listing implement, reading or the other machinery verbs would show it wrong
