The short version written for the Snayu team

Index of Apps (Compositions): reusable applications that keep their own records, judge their own results and control which side effects they may request. Lists the app Areas, the reference portfolio and candidate studies.

Why read it: Start here to see which apps exist, how they are grouped, and how finished work passes from one app to another.
  1. 1An App owns durable records, a finish judgment and recovery; Areas only group apps for browsing.
  2. 2Apps exchange settled, exact results directly; coordinating several apps' live jobs needs an App Bundle (Suite).
  3. 3Candidate studies (Reach, Thorn, Accounting Office, Workshop, Transmuter) are proposals, not accepted apps.

App Composition

An application built on the platform, e.g. Blockworld (Minecraft), Reach (Discord, email), Companion (phone).

It's like: Apps on a phone: each keeps its own data and decisions.

Choosing a Home Guide: where an idea belongs A routing guide for deciding whether a new idea needs a new App or fits as a Packaged Offer (Product), profile, Workflow, view, integration, typed reference or App Bundle (Suite). open → Products and Suites Guide: Products and Suites Explains Packaged Offers (Products, a named promise to an operator), App Bundles (Suites, which coordinate live jobs across several apps), Installations (Deployments) and the different kinds of views onto an app. open → Creative Works Area: Creative Works Index of the creative apps: visual work (Atelier, Canvas), music (Riffmaw), dubbing and captions (Language Edition), game builds (Foundry) and publications (Broadcast), each listed with the outcome it produces. open → Stewardship & Acquisition Area: Stewardship & Acquisition Index of apps that care for people, animals, plants, places and supplies: Health, Wellbeing, Homestead, Keeper, Cultivator and Scavenger, each with its outcome. open → Presence & Embodiment Apps: Presence and embodiment Index of the apps that put the Assistant somewhere: a chat channel, a game world, a VR room, a physical robot or a phone. It lists each app and the single outcome it owns. open → Professional Operations Apps: Professional operations Index of apps for client casework: Broker (insurance office cases) and Creation investigation (software questions), with a pointer to the Accounting Office study. open → Connected work study Reach: Connected work study A candidate study for a successor Reach that answers private email, GitHub issues and Discord mentions from the right account, plus optional WhatsApp, without mixing customers' data or authority. open → Companion Android Foundation Companion: Android foundation study A candidate study for building the live Android client on a Samsung S20 FE: pairing with LychD, voice capture, transcript review, submission and spoken replies, with chosen languages, frameworks and API rules. open → Companion Phone Workspace Companion: Phone workspace study A candidate direction for Companion to grow into an everyday phone workspace, starting with an offline music player, then selected photos and explicit file copy, each a revocable capability. open → Thorn App: Thorn (security workbench) A proposed whitehat security app that turns a scoped security question or incident into supported findings, a bounded protective response, and an accountable report or correction. open → Accounting Office App: Accounting Office (bookkeeping) A candidate app for one business's bookkeeping: connect invoices and bank movements, review journal entries, reconcile, and close a period with clear exceptions and handoffs to an accountant. open → Transmuter App: Transmuter (archive import) A candidate app that works through conversation archives and attachments, identifies what each source actually says, and prepares grounded proposals for memories or persona changes. open → Workshop App: Workshop (vehicle service cases) A candidate app for guided repair diagnosis, starting with car service (the proposed 'Mechanic' product): it keeps the vehicle, symptoms, hypotheses, checks and results together until a scoped outcome or handoff. open →

A publication needs sources, editorial judgment, and a release decision. A musical work needs its own acceptance, credits, and production records. Combining them should preserve what each contribution means and who answers for it.

AAn CompositionApp gives each application a durable home. For the publication, Broadcast keeps the source words and evidence alongside editorial decisions and candidate revisions. Riffmaw keeps the musical work's production history and acceptance. When the editor uses that music, Broadcast judges its place in the final cut without taking over Riffmaw's judgment of the music. Putting the accepted cut before an external audience still needs a separate release decision.

More generally, aan CompositionApp keeps the application's records, judges its results, and governs the effects it may request. Its policies, projections, and catalogue of PatternsWorkflows belong to the same reusable application across customers, ProductsPackaged Offers, and deployments. Browse by the outcome you want to leave behind.

For a software question, Creation investigation retains the source, candidate and separate verdict under one bounded application contract.

The Portfolio

These Native Reference CompositionsApps are accepted first-party application contracts and worked examples. State of Work collects their implementation evidence.

Areas

An Area groups CompositionsApps by the kind of work you want to find. Each Area has an index leading to its applications and their outcomes.

Area Enter through
Creative Works visual work, music, language editions, playable builds, and publication
Stewardship & Acquisition personal health and wellbeing, places, animal care, cultivation, and acquisition
Presence & Embodiment social presence, presentation, virtual worlds, physical bodies, and mobile sessions
Professional Operations attributable client casework and professional handoffs

Areas may overlap because a reader can approach the same work from different concerns. Each CompositionApp nevertheless keeps one canonical route and owns its records and judgment; the Area only helps the reader find it. A Suite coordinates live work within one Area or across several. The Area contract keeps that navigation separate from application ownership, while Guides and Candidate studies provide separate views of explanations and proposals.

Follow a shared work

Canvas keeps visual boards, original ink and reviewed transformations. Atelier produces accepted visuals, Riffmaw music, and Language Edition aligned dialogue and captions. Broadcast admits their exact settled bundles into its timeline and judges the resulting editorial work. Its release is a separate external act.

The direction can change without erasing earlier work. A locked Broadcast master and script can enter Language Edition; the returned language bundle enters a new Broadcast InvocationJob Request for a new edition. Each owner preserves its records, acceptance, and recovery.

Settled artifacts connect these applications directly. A result that must coordinate several owners' live InvocationsJob Requests—commissioning work, awaiting revisions, or recovering their execution— needs aan SuiteApp Bundle. The worked handoffs extend this relationship to household care, embodied presence, and professional casework. A ProductPackaged Offer gives the resulting application or SuiteApp Bundle a named operator promise.

Candidate studies

These studies develop application boundaries beyond the accepted Portfolio.

Reach connected work proposes a successor to the public Discord contract for bounded Gmail, Discord and GitHub correspondence, optional WhatsApp, account onboarding, autonomous delivery policy and recovery. It does not broaden the existing Reach revision or deployment profiles.

Thorn studies whitehat security casework: authorized assessment, bounded response during an attack, cooperative investigation, and supported reports and corrections. Monitoring supplies evidence; general system maintenance keeps its own owners.

Accounting Office studies business documents, bank reconciliation, entity-owned books, asset and subscription obligations, and period close. Provider adapters and jurisdiction profiles vary under one proposed accounting lifecycle.

Workshop tests technical-service casework. Mechanic is its proposed first ProductPackaged Offer under the passenger-vehicle service profile.

Transmuter studies the passage from imported digital material to attributed knowledge and proposals for memory and identity. Extractor and Synthesizer are its internal stages; naming, labeling, and classification belong to Extractor.

The Composition test

For a new idea, ask what should remain when the conversation ends and who can judge it finished. Then try the difficult endings: work refused, partly completed, stopped, or interrupted with an effect still unknown. Who keeps that account and decides how to recover? Choosing a Home tests whether those responsibilities need aan CompositionApp or already belong to a ProductPackaged Offer, profile, PatternWorkflow, projection, mechanism, reference, or SuiteApp Bundle.

The companion guides follow the choices involved in shaping and combining applications:

Question Continue with
What operator promise does a ProductPackaged Offer offer? Products and Suites follows a named operator promise into one configured Deployment.
Does this result need coordination between live InvocationsJob Requests? The worked handoffs distinguish a settled foreign result from separate owners' live work coordinated by aan SuiteApp Bundle.
Which machinery can applications share? Shared machinery, separate judgments keeps shared engines distinct from application records and authority.
Who accepts each part of a compound result? The media comparison locates visual work, music, language editions, picture sound, and interactive world sound by acceptance rather than codec.

How a leaf should read: authoring criteria keep each application rooted in a representative journey and falsifiable result. Lexicon owns terms; Workflow owns their architectural law.
