Terminal

Prompt packs that were run before they were sold.

This is the room where the machine builds the machine, and the room most at risk of becoming a slop shop. The answer is the same as in the kitchen: a gate. A pack is a draft until every prompt has executed, a linter has passed it and a person has read it. The cost of making it is printed on it. And the method is published in the Lab, because a tool you cannot inspect is just a rumour.

The method

How a pack earns its label

> role-pack-01 · fp&a variance → narrative
> chain 01 · variance → driver tree
> chain 02 · driver tree → narrative
> executed 13/13 · T-lint clean
> cost: measured, printed on the pack
> status: DRAFT · gate: creative
  1. 01 Vocabulary 119 named skills, so a pack can say exactly what it teaches and a buyer can check.
  2. 02 Execute before you list Every prompt in a pack is run, linted and read by a person before the listing copy exists. Role Pack 01 went 13 for 13.
  3. 03 Measured cost Each pack carries what it cost to make, to the cent, against the cap it was given.
  4. 04 The gate Spend, publish and price are decided by a human. The refinery proposes; it never ships.
