solo.ist 424cfbdf5e docs: add "Working with the agent" (norms for reading and instructing inferencebot)
A first draft of the member-facing norms listed as a design goal on
co-op/support#17: where the agent speaks and listens, what to ask it for,
what not to ask it in a shared room, what it does without confirmation,
what always needs a human, and how it is stopped. Linked from the README
index and the Matrix section of getting-started. Nothing here changes how
the agent is configured.

# Inference Cooperative
**AI, governed together.**
The Inference Cooperative is a member-governed project providing private AI
inference. Members pay dues on a sliding scale and, in return, get private AI
chat and API access through shared, cooperatively governed infrastructure. We
are fiscally sponsored by [Metagov](https://metagov.org), a nonprofit, and
funded through our [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/inference-cooperative).
