Documentation

README

EXECUTE NOW

Target: $ARGUMENTS

The target MUST be a file path. If no target provided, list {DOMAIN:inbox}/ contents and ask which to seed.

Step 0: Read Vocabulary

Read ops/derivation-manifest.md (or fall back to ops/derivation.md) for domain vocabulary mapping. All output must use domain-native terms. If neither file exists, use universal terms.

START NOW. Seed the source file into the processing queue.


Step 1: Validate Source

Confirm the target file exists. If it does not, check common locations:

  • {DOMAIN:inbox}/{filename}
  • Subdirectories of {DOMAIN:inbox}/

If the file cannot be found, report error and stop:

ERROR: Source file not found: {path}
Checked: {locations checked}

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
