- # Recipe: Adapt A Starter Package
11
-
12
- **Goal:** turn an installed starter — a full body (`ghost init --body
13
- vessel-light`) or the naked skeleton (`ghost init`) — into *your* brand's
14
- brand guidance without shipping a self-contradicting package.
15
-
16
- The naked skeleton is factored by what must happen during adaptation:
17
-
18
- | Stratum | Files | On adaptation |
19
- | --- | --- | --- |
20
- | Cover | `brand.md` | Write it — essence in one paragraph, temperature, and brand-only refusals. Apply the admission test to every line: a violation visible in one element belongs in that element's chapter; visible in one view, in the composition chapter; visible only across the whole body of work, here. Keep a one-screen budget and delete every scaffolding sentence when real. |
21
- | Foundation | `foundation.*` | Answer each chapter's open section (`Palette`, `Typeface`, `Radius`, `Character`, `Warmth`), restate it as the brand's current answer, and edit misuse lists to the brand's real failure modes. |
22
- | Context | `context.*` | Add or re-tune after the open questions are answered; context nodes state only what inverts in a matching situation. |
23
- | Cliche floor | `cliche.*` | Prune — delete entries a foundation misuse list absorbs, delete the paired check flag with it, and replace generic entries with refusals only this brand makes. If a refusal passes the cover admission test, graduate it to `brand.md`. |
24
- | Materials and refs | `materials/*`, referenced implementations, refs | Add or regenerate so the prose has concrete material to inspect. |
25
- | Checks | `checks/*` | Keep paired with the nodes they enforce; delete or rewrite flags when their source rule changes. |
26
-
27
- Do the steps **in order and in one sitting** where possible. A half-adapted
28
- package is worse than an unadapted one: stale refs steer harder than any prose
29
- you rewrote, so stopping before refs and checks are current ships a package
30
- that contradicts itself.
31
-
32
- ## The procedure
33
-
34
- 1. **Change the manifest id.** Edit `id:` in `manifest.yml` to your brand's
35
- name. This is deliberately first: it is the explicit act that marks the
36
- adaptation as begun. Until it changes, the package honestly claims to be the
37
- starter, and every consuming agent cites it as a starter default.
38
- 2. **Write the cover.** Replace `brand.md` with the brand's essence in one
39
- paragraph, the shared temperature of words and motion, and the refusals only
40
- this brand makes. Test every line: a violation visible in one element moves
41
- to that element's chapter; visible in one view, to the composition chapter;
42
- only what shows solely across the whole body of work stays. Keep the cover
43
- to one screen and delete every scaffolding sentence when it is real.
44
- 3. **Answer the foundation chapters.** Walk each `foundation.*` node. Keep the
45
- usage rules that describe the closed vocabulary; answer the open section as
46
- the brand's current answer. Ask the human for undecided values; never
47
- freehand a value and present it as brand-backed. Edit each misuse list to the
48
- failures this brand actually needs to avoid.
49
- 4. **Add or edit materials.** Record literal values where the implementation or
50
- asset materials live, then add `materials` locators to the nodes that explain
51
- them. Name each file explicitly; do not reach for glob patterns, which in a
52
- live repo can capture unintended files into pulls. Role names can stay
53
- stable while values change. The point is that a realizing agent can inspect
54
- the same concrete source the prose governs. Starter and vendored packages
55
- ship locators written against the source repo's layout, so after vendoring,
56
- verify every locator resolves against this repo's actual paths, repoint the
57
- ones that moved, and run `ghost validate` — `material-locator-dead` warnings
58
- name the stale ones.
59
- 5. **Re-tune contexts.** Revisit each `context.*` node after the foundation
60
- answers exist. Keep only inversions that apply in that situation; delete
61
- generic foundation rules repeated there, and add new contexts only when a
62
- task situation truly bends the defaults.
63
- 6. **Prune `cliche.median`.** Each rule is a `###` heading section; delete the
64
- whole section for every rule a foundation misuse list now absorbs or your
65
- brand legitimately violates. Do not rewrite surviving measured defaults into
66
- taste. Then run `ghost validate`: every check reference orphaned by a pruned
67
- heading surfaces as its own warning — delete the paired flag and its
68
- reference from the check.
69
- 7. **Regenerate refs.** Exemplars dominate prose: a prose rule contradicted by a
70
- stale ref loses. Rebuild each ref against the new values and chapter answers,
71
- keep any annotation headers current, and make each ref demonstrate its closed
72
- sets completely. If the starter shipped no refs, generate them now — a
73
- package with no exemplars steers at half strength.
74
- 8. **Rewrite checks and near-miss nodes.** For each answered foundation chapter,
75
- name the failure mode one step away from the answer and its replacement. Put
76
- pre-generation guidance in nodes and review assertions in `checks/`; never
77
- leave a check that asserts an obligation no node states.
78
- 9. **Re-run the checks, including against refs.** `ghost validate` for package
79
- shape, then review the regenerated refs against the median and value checks
80
- (stage the ref changes and run `ghost review`). The floor only holds if the
81
- refs hold it too: a ref that trips a median flag will teach every future

- generation the violation.
83
-
84
- ## Consuming an unadapted starter
85
-
86
- Work does not block on adaptation. Before the procedure runs (or midway through
87
- it), cite starter content honestly:
88
-
89
- - Cover scaffolding and unanswered foundation sections: **provisional** — never
90
- plain brand guidance.
91
- - Foundation usage rules: **ghost-backed starter structure** until the human
92
- answers the open sections and edits the misuse lists.
93
- - Surviving median rules: **owner-backed after init** — ghost stamps this
94
- measured model behavior into every initialized package; you own the pruning and
95
- any adaptation thereafter.
96
- - Context nodes: **conditional** — read only when their situation matches, and
97
- revisit them after the foundation answers change.
98
- - The manifest id tells you which state you are in: a starter id means
99
- unadapted.
100
-
101
- ## Never
102
-
103
- - Never leave cover scaffolding in a real ghost package.
104
- - Never present your provisional value as the brand's answer.
105
- - Never leave stale refs alongside new values — regenerate or delete; a stale
106
- exemplar outweighs rewritten prose.
107
- - Never prune a median rule without deleting its paired check flag, or keep a
108
- check that asserts an obligation no node states.
109
- - Never pre-write the manifest id change into automation — it is the human's
110
- act of ownership, the one step an agent should not take alone.

10
- # Recipe: Collaborative Package Authoring
11
-
12
- **Goal:** help a human and agent co-author durable brand guidance through
13
- conversation — without laundering what a codebase happens to do into what the
14
- brand means.
15
-
16
- The ghost package is medium-agnostic and is not derived from a repo. Its raw
17
- material is **elicitation**: what the human says, shows, and points at — words,
18
- screenshots, links, exemplar products, marketing copy, a competitor they define
19
- themselves against. Agent synthesis is draft work until the human curates it
20
- and ordinary Git review accepts it.
21
-
22
- Repo-bound reality — components, tokens, paths, building blocks — can be
23
- recorded as `materials` on the node whose prose explains their purpose. When a
24
- conversation surfaces "we have a component for that," treat it as material to
25
- locate and interpret, not as brand guidance on its own.
26
-
27
- ## 1. Start With One Repeated Decision
28
-
29
- Do not try to capture the whole brand at once. Ask the human for the one
30
- decision whose feedback keeps repeating — the checkout always flagged for
31
- trust, the voice always re-toned, the empty state always rewritten — and
32
- capture that one decision as a node first. One well-grounded node beats an
33
- empty catalog; the package grows as the next repeated decision shows up.
34
-
35
- The scenario below tunes the authoring *posture* for that first node; it is not
36
- a gate to clear before writing anything.
37
-
38
- | Scenario | Default authoring posture |
39
- | --- | --- |
40
- | Net new brand | Stance-first. Elicit feel, audience, and early anti-goals before anything else exists to point at. |
41
- | Established brand, first ghost package | Artifact-rich interview. The human can show a lot — shipped surfaces, brand docs, campaigns. Elicit which of it is *intentional*. |
42
- | Strong opinions, weak articulation | Example-led. The human knows it when they see it: work from exemplars and counter-exemplars ("this feels like us, this never would") toward the stance underneath. |
43
- | Brand doc or design-language deck exists | Distillation. Treat the document as evidence: pull the claims that actually steer decisions, drop the aspirational filler, and have the human ratify each survivor. |
44
- | Rebrand, redesign, migration | Transition-led. Capture current, target, and what must not be lost in between. |
45
- | Fork, white label, tenant variant | Shared base + local divergence. Keep shared guidance broad; scope divergence with conditions. |
46
- | Monorepo or product suite | One contract per package. |
47
-
48
- When supplied artifacts are the starting point or must be reconciled with an
49
- existing package, follow [distill.md](distill.md).
50
-
51
- If more than one applies, start with the broad scenario, then narrow.
52
-
53
- ## 2. Interview The Human
54
-
55
- The interview is the engine. Ask only high-leverage questions that change the
56
- guidance:
57
-
58
- - What should this brand feel like, and what should it never become? (The
59
- "never become" answers are anti-goal nodes — capture them with the same care
60
- as the affirmative stance.)
61
- - Who is the audience, and what are they trying to get done?
62
- - Which surfaces, campaigns, or moments show the brand at its best? Show me.
63
- - Which brand or product do you admire — and where do you deliberately differ?
64
- (The deliberate differences also route to anti-goal nodes: the rejected
65
- neighbor, named.)
66
- - What keeps getting flagged in review, re-toned, or rewritten?
67
- - Where do trust, density, pacing, accessibility, recovery, or disclosure
68
- matter most?
69
- - Which guidance is universal, and which guidance holds only under a specific situation?
70
-
71
- Capture human-authored or human-approved answers as nodes. Do not treat
72
- unapproved notes as canonical.
73
-
74
- ## 3. Work The Material The Human Brings
75
-
76
- Ask for artifacts and read them closely: screenshots, links, exemplar products,
77
- brand docs, marketing copy, past campaigns, a rejected design and why it was
78
- rejected. Treat every artifact as *testimony* — evidence of a stance the human
79
- holds — never as guidance by itself. A pattern that appears everywhere may be
80
- legacy; a pattern that appears once may be the brand at its best. The human
81
- says which.
82
-
83
- Counter-exemplars are as valuable as exemplars when they name the replacement.
84
- "We would never ship this; we would ship that instead" with artifacts attached
85
- usually yields a sharper anti-goal than an hour of affirmative description. Avoid
86
- blacklist-only anti-goals: the rejected pattern should be purged from exemplars
87
- and enforced in review, not repeated as the model's main example.
88
-
89
- ## 4. Draft The Nodes
90
-
91
- Write the smallest useful set of nodes, each carrying purpose-coherent prose guidance with
92
- a one-line `context`, named `<kind>.<slug>.md` (or a bare slug when no kind is present). Ask three questions of each node body: why (the stance), with what
93
- (the materials), and how it is assembled (the patterns). These are drafting
94
- prompts, not fields.
95
-
96
- Draft only what the human said or showed. State universal guidance plainly; give
97
- narrower guidance a **condition** in the prose — the situation they apply in,
98
- never a destination. Label uncertain reasoning as provisional. Prefer a few
99
- focused guidance over a broad catalog. Hold draft prose to the node prose
100
- stances in [capture.md](capture.md) and score each node against its drafting
101
- gate before presenting drafts for curation.
102
-
103
- ## 5. Curate With The Human
104
-
105
- Before treating draft content as durable, ask the human to classify important
106
- claims:
107
-
108
- - keep as canonical
109
- - soften the guidance
110
- - reject as accidental or legacy
111
- - move to scratch notes
112
- - restate at a broader or narrower altitude (add or drop a condition)
113
-
114
- ## 6. Decide Kinds And Altitude
115
-
116
- Two authoring decisions replace any notion of hierarchy:
117
-
118
- - **Kind** — declare the kind vocabulary in `glossary.md` and name each node
119
- `<kind>.<slug>.md` so its normative weight is clear. The glossary defines what
120
- each kind means and how strongly it binds. Kinds are your choice;
121
- ghost ships no fixed vocabulary.
122
- - **Altitude** — state guidance at the level where it applies. Universal → state
123
- it plainly. Narrower → name the situation that activates it, in the prose. Never
124
- file a node by destination (`for-emails.md`); the model reads the condition and
125
- decides when it applies.
126
-
127
- ## 7. Validate And Ratify
128
-
129
- ```bash
130
- ghost validate .ghost
131
- ```
132
-
133
- `validate` checks artifact shape, per-node validity, and that each node's kind
134
- prefix is a declared glossary kind (undeclared → warning with a "did you
135
- mean" suggestion). Use ordinary Git review as the approval boundary: uncommitted
136
- edits are drafts; checked-in nodes are canonical.
137
-
138
- ## Shapes Of A Useful Node
139
-
140
- The shapes below teach what steering prose looks like when it works. The
141
- examples use **Morrow Ledger**, a fictional bookkeeping product — teaching
142
- fiction for this recipe only, never content for a real corpus. Each shape is a
143
- pattern to imitate with the human's real guidance.
144
-
145
- - **Stance as forced choices.** Not adjectives — decisions under pressure:
146
- "Clarity beats momentum: write '3 invoices are 14+ days late', not 'Cash
147
- flow needs attention.'" A stance earns its place when it rejects a plausible
148
- wrong answer.
149
- - **Composition floor.** Hard invariants with numbers, holding unless a
150
- narrower condition says otherwise: "Maximum three figures above the fold —
151
- if there are four, demote one into details instead of shrinking type."
152
- - **Anti-goal as not-X-instead-Y.** The rejected default *and* its committed
153
- replacement: "Not 'Revenue is up 24% 🎉' — instead 'July receipts are $4,820
154
- higher than June; 2 invoices explain most of the change.'" A bare ban prunes
155
- one path; the replacement commits another.
156
- - **Pattern as bound/open.** Say what is decided and what remains free:
157
- "Bound: status line first, one sentence, ≤11 words; one primary next step
158
- last. Open: evidence may be a table row or a two-item list." All bound is a
159
- template; nothing bound is vibes.
160
- - **Annotated exemplar.** A concrete reference plus what it is normative for
161
- and what is incidental: "Copy the square edge, measured evidence, and action
162
- cost. Do not copy the exact amounts or dates." An unannotated exemplar
163
- teaches its accidents as brand.
164
- - **Material inventory.** `materials` locates; prose explains meaning:
165
- "`src/styles/tokens.css` should define the ink, ledger, amber, and paper
166
- colors." Never duplicate API docs unless the API itself is the brand guidance.
167
- - **Decision trace.** A worked tradeoff with the reversal condition: "We chose
168
- visible evidence over shorter surfaces… Reverses when the evidence would
169
- expose sensitive third-party details — then show the count only." Models
170
- imitate reasoning as well as outputs.
171
-
172
- State the silence posture on the manifest-declared cover, which `gather`
173
- inlines for every task: when the package is silent, proceed provisionally
174
- from local conventions only when safe, and ask before brand-defining,
175
- irreversible, legal, privacy-sensitive, or high-risk choices.
176
-
177
- ## Never
178
-
179
- - Never derive brand guidance from repo code alone; what the codebase repeats may
180
- be legacy, not stance. Use repo paths as `materials` only after the prose
181
- guidance has been curated.
182
- - Never draft a node the human neither said nor showed; that is invention
183
- wearing the brand's clothes.
184
- - Never treat a brand doc, an artifact, or repetition frequency as brand
185
- authority; the human ratifies what is intentional.
186
- - Never invent a hierarchy, inheritance, or edges — the package is flat.
187
- - Never file a node by destination; state its condition in the prose.

- # Recipe: Author Block And Material Nodes
11
-
12
- **Goal:** when you are documenting the **materials** a brand draws from — its
13
- building blocks, assets, and reusable pieces — write that prose so an agent can
14
- translate the package's stance into concrete building blocks without the
15
- guidance ever naming a component.
16
-
17
- This is opinionated method, not new schema. **"Block node" is shorthand in this
18
- recipe, not a ghost concept**: it means any node whose guidance is a reusable
19
- building block, whatever kind the author's glossary declares for it (`block`,
20
- `asset`, `pattern`, …). A block node is a node like any other: a markdown file
21
- with a `context` and a prose body, named `<kind>.<slug>.md` (or a bare
22
- slug). See [capture.md](capture.md) for the node shape. Block prose can be one
23
- paragraph inside a broader node, or split across many nodes, one per block,
24
- whatever keeps each node purpose-coherent.
25
-
26
- ## Where it sits
27
-
28
- A ghost package declares stance. Block and material nodes ground that stance in
29
- concrete material: materials, substantial fenced examples, or Skeletons. A
30
- realizing agent **reads** them and matches against them. Strip every block node
31
- and the package is still valid — it just gives the agent less to draw on,
32
- and prose-only steering is weak steering. The agent does the matching.
33
-
34
- ## Concreteness is the grounding dial
35
-
36
- This trade belongs to the author:
37
-
38
- - **Abstract materials** (principles, arrangement, no concrete components) →
39
- leaves the agent more room, grounds it less.
40
- - **Concrete materials** (named building blocks) → strongly grounds the agent in
41
- the materials it should reach for, at the cost of that room.
42
-
43
- Neither is correct. A concrete block node is a deliberate trade, not a leak.
44
-
45
- ## Tier first: not everything earns a node
46
-
47
- - **Primitives** (button, input, badge, avatar, spinner…) get **no prose body**
48
- when the generic form serves. They are shared vocabulary, not stance. If you
49
- record one at all, give it only a `context` so `gather` can surface it;
50
- the absence of a body is the signal that training priors are acceptable here.
51
- When a primitive is itself brand-distinctive (a button whose shape, weight, or
52
- focus treatment is a recognizable brand move), its *divergence from the
53
- generic form* is a decision worth a node: state what differs and why, not the
54
- full API.
55
- - **Anything that encodes a user moment** (confirmation, plan, task, tool,
56
- reasoning, sources…) earns **one short prose body**. This is what the method is
57
- for.
58
- - The **composer middle** (card, table, form, sidebar…) is a call to weigh. Give
59
- it a prose body when its arrangement carries a stance worth matching.
60
-
61
- If a primitive ever seems to need stance guidance, that is a signal it is doing
62
- a composer's job. Promote the pattern into a node; do not write a body on the
63
- primitive.
64
-
65
- ## The shape of a block node
66
-
67
- A node like any other. Frontmatter carries `context`, the direct applicability
68
- payload; write one on every block worth matching. The body is prose the agent
69
- reasons over.
70
-
71
- **Body:** one short paragraph in a consistent rhythm, *for / reach when / not
72
- when (use X instead) / never*:
73
-
74
- - **for**: the user need or moment it exists for, framed as the problem, not the
75
- widget.
76
- - **reach when**: phrased as the user's *first question* ("who/what is this?" vs
77
- "what's happening / what do I do?"). First-question framing forces a clean pick
78
- between overlapping blocks.
79
- - **not when**: name the rival node to reach for instead, by its id. This is what
80
- makes the set navigable — since the package is flat with no edges, the prose
81
- "not when" *is* the see-also link. Point at the other node's id in the text.
82
- - **never**: what it must not be conscripted into, so the agent does not stretch
83
- it to fit.
84
-
85
- Keep props, markup, and API reference out; the body documents purpose, and the
86
- implementation beneath it is swappable. Explicit values are the exception when
87
- the value itself is the brand guidance — an exact color, a specific corner radius —
88
- not a swappable implementation detail.
89
-
90
- ## How a match runs
91
-
92
- The agent reads the package's stance, `gather`s the menu, pulls block nodes
93
- whose contexts apply, separates near-neighbors on *not when* and *never*,
94
- and assembles. The realizing surface authors the chosen blocks in its medium.
95
- The guidance never named a component; the agent bridged via documented
96
- purpose.
97
-
98
- ## Curation rule
99
-
100
- A block earns its node when its purpose is **distinguishable** from every
101
- other's. Two blocks may overlap heavily and still be distinct *as long as their
102
- "reach when" answers a different first question*. If they answer the same first
103
- question, they are one node, not two.
104
-
105
- ## Worked example
106
-
107
- These examples use a `block` kind. The starter glossary does not ship one, so
108
- declare it (or reuse a declared kind such as `pattern`) before copying the
109
- filenames:
110
-
111
- ```yaml
112
- kinds:
113
- - name: block
114
- purpose: a reusable building block matched by purpose, not named by component
115
- ```
116
-
117
- `block.confirmation.md` (kind `block`, slug `confirmation`):
118
-
119
- ```markdown
120
- ---
121
- context: A consequential action needs explicit user approval before it runs.
122
- ---
123
- Gates a tool action behind explicit user approval. Reach for it when the user's
124
- first question is "do I allow this?", when a consequential action needs a human
125
- decision before it runs. Not when the action is already complete (that's
126
- `block.tool`) or when no decision is required. It is never a status display;
127
- with no decision to make, it only manufactures friction.
128
- ```
129
-
130
- `block.table.md`:
131
-
132
- ```markdown
133
- ---
134
- context: Many records need comparison across shared columns.
135
- ---
136
- Presents many records across shared, comparable columns. Reach for it when the
137
- user's first question is "how do these compare across the same attributes?" Not
138
- when each item needs rich, non-uniform presentation (use repeated `block.card`)
139
- or there is a single subject rather than a collection. It is never a single
140
- record's detail view.
141
- ```
142
-
143
- `block.button.md`:
144
-
145
- ```markdown
146
- ---
147
- context: A person can trigger an action.
148
- ---
149
- ```
150
-
151
- (A primitive the generic form serves: a `context` so `gather` can surface
152
- it, no body. If this brand's button were itself a recognizable brand move, its
153
- divergence from the generic form would earn a short body.)
154
-
155
- ## Materials: bundle brand-owned materials, reference implementations
156
-
157
- Use the rule of thumb literally. Bundle brand-owned materials: brand-owned artifacts that
158
- should travel with the package and survive export or refactors — tokens.css,
159
- motion.json, logo.svg, type materials. Reference implementations: living app
160
- code, components, stories, or tests whose home is still the product repo. The
161
- `materials` list locates both; the prose says what the material proves.
162
-
163
- ## Reuse vs. free-compose
164
-
165
- Do not pin a block by prop or markup shape. Document the *purpose* and any
166
- *guarantees* a block must hold (an action routes through a declared tool, a
167
- control is keyboard-reachable). Let the realizing agent author the form. Pinning
168
- prop APIs re-imports implementation opinion and creates a mirror to maintain.
169
-
170
- ## Never
171
-
172
- - Never write a prose body on a primitive the generic form serves; the absence
173
- of a body is the signal. A brand-distinctive primitive earns a body for its
174
- divergence, never for its API.
175
- - Never put props, markup, or API reference in a block body; explicit
176
- values belong only when the value itself is the brand guidance.
177
- - Never let the package reference the realizing surface; blocks are read,
178
- not addressed.
179
- - Never split two blocks that answer the same first question; that is one node.
