A Home is an environment.
Not a bag of Skills.

It organizes how people and agents approach a domain while keeping providers replaceable and product repositories independent.

01 · Anatomy

A coherent Home answers seven questions.

01

Inhabitants

Who collaborates here?

02

Conventions

How is judgment exercised?

03

Continuity

What deserves to survive sessions?

04

Assets

What equips the work?

05

Artifacts

What results are worth governing?

06

Targets

Where does work land without being absorbed?

07

Providers

What remains when the provider changes?

02 · More than the low level

Skills are useful. They are not the organizing idea.

SkillA model-facing entrypoint to a capability.
AssetA reusable product for work: instructions, tools, knowledge, workflows or runtime.
HomeA coherent environment that owns and composes Assets for people, agents and Targets.
HairnessThe framework that makes the environment portable, inspectable and source-owned.

03 · Be precise about reality

Ideas, concepts and products are different promises.

Imagined usage

Make the paradigm visible

A thought experiment reveals what becomes possible without claiming an implementation.

Conceptual Home

Describe a coherent composition

The inhabitants, Assets, Artifacts and Targets fit together, but the Home is not installable.

Installable Home

Deliver the composition

Sources, contracts and runtime exist and can be inspected before use.

04 · Three thought experiments

Start with the work, then design its Home.

Concept · Not installable yet

Game Development Home

  • Engine and studio conventions as shared Assets
  • Playtest reports and design decisions as Artifacts
  • Games, tools and documentation as independent Targets

Concept · Not installable yet

Designer Home

  • Research and critique methods that survive clients
  • Design-system knowledge without trapping it in one app
  • Deliverables that keep evidence and lineage

Concept · Not installable yet

Research Home

  • Evidence standards and reading practices as Assets
  • Claims, syntheses and decisions as governed Artifacts
  • Projects and publications as separate Targets

A thought experiment

If your agents had a Home, what would yours be built for?

What would you preserve across sessions? What would you equip every agent with? And what would you finally remove from your repositories?
