The floor is open. The line is running. The andon cord is within reach. This library exists because the factory documents itself in public on purpose: the knowledge is the shareable half of the plant, and a practice only stays alive by being practiced — by more hands than ours.

​
If you want to follow the build

Start with The Thesis, then the six theses — they are the factory’s actual originality; everything else is their construction. The station pages show the system as it runs today, each claim traced to its source. The library grows as the plant does: the standard work carries a changelog, and so does everything germline, so the history of every change is part of the record.

​
If you want to borrow the system

Take it. The ideas here are load-bearing without the plant attached:
  • Write the work order before the unit, and make the mission paragraph state intent, never method.
  • Write the eval before the agent — the gauge before the part. If the acceptance criteria cannot become an eval, the unit is unmanufacturable, and better to learn that on paper.
  • Give every claim an expiry. Whatever you verified, the world under it is moving.
  • Wire an andon for silence: list your recurring obligations, name the artifact each one produces, and alarm on absence. A cron that ran is not a cron that worked.
  • Compile your doctrine. Any rule you care about becomes a script, a schema, or a gate; rules as prose hold about half the time, rules as scripts hold.
None of this requires our tooling. It is a discipline, and disciplines are portable — that is why publishing them costs the factory nothing and proves everything.

​
If you want to build alongside it

The factory is early — a one-human plant running its pilot line, pacing to a takt of single-digit certified units a week. What it can absorb right now is correspondingly small and correspondingly real: sharp questions, defect reports against the published thinking, and accounts of what happened when you ran these disciplines against your own agent work. Argue with the design; it is written to be argued with. The simplest first step, for every kind of visitor, is the same: pick one discipline from the list above and run it on something you already operate. Then you are not reading about the practice. You are practicing it — and there was zookooree. Come shape something.
