These cards are orientation points. A program label describes the public-facing area; follow the linked project surface for implementation status and evidence.

Typed context & control research

TCCP

in-development

Study how source-bound context becomes a prompt, interface, or working artifact while keeping purpose, uncertainty, and the accountable next decision visible.

Knowledge representation profile

EKRP

in-development

Explore human-readable semantic document architecture with provenance, uncertainty, and review state before claiming a runtime or query service.

Fleet evaluation research

Core32

in-development

Compare method, role, and state-transition behavior with framework-neutral fixtures while retaining the scope and limits of each evaluation.

software

Exocore / pi-ember-exocore

active

A local-first workbench for agent-supported research, source-linked knowledge, governance, and return. The Workbench page explains its current scope and boundaries.

specification

HCAN (Human Communication Agent Notation)

in-development

A notation for describing messages and bounded effects in human-agent work. Its grammar and validators make a description inspectable; they do not grant permission or prove the described workflow worked.

standard

ESS (Exocore-Sigil Standard)

in-development

A candidate framework for governed information, representation, symbolic expression, and execution in AI-mediated knowledge work. Its accepted architectural proposal remains distinct from standard adoption and implementation.
