Artifact Patterns

Claims need receipts

These are the public shapes used inside posts. They summarize evidence without copying raw vault notes or private logs into the site.

Decision Log

Shows what changed and why the tradeoff was accepted.

date, decision, status, rationale, consequence

Validation Result

Separates evidence from optimism.

command, result, environment, caveat

Architecture Map

Makes the system shape inspectable without exposing private notes.

components, boundaries, dependencies, maturity

Prompt Contract

Turns agent work into a bounded responsibility.

input, output, guardrails, human approval gate

Session Slice

Gives readers a narrow receipt instead of a giant log.

changed files, why, validation, next actions

Risk Register Note

Names what remains unsafe, untested, private, or immature.

risk, impact, mitigation, owner
