prose-programs

prose-programs is a collection of OpenProse programs for turning evidence, repositories, workflows, and failures into reusable prose artifacts.

Each directory is a self-contained program with a small service pipeline and a clear contract:

• requires: the inputs the program expects
• ensures: the artifacts the program should produce
• strategies: the operating rules that shape the output

Program families

• prosify: extract workflows and reusable patterns from evidence.
• frameworkify: separate stable primitives from project-specific implementation and package a reusable framework.
• productize: turn internal tools or prototypes into shippable products with packaging and docs.
• distillify: compress a corpus into core invariants and a reduced mental model.
• repairify: analyze failures, identify root causes, and produce fixes with regression guards.
• reviewify: read reviews and synthesize findings or patterns.
• composify: combine prose assets into new variants or higher-level compositions.
• datasetify: derive datasets and labeling/splitting plans from source corpora.
• instrumentify: design telemetry, schemas, and instrumentation surfaces.
• traceify: normalize traces and design trace schemas and readers.
• migratify: plan and execute migrations between source and target systems.
• stabilify: reduce instability and design deterministic environments.
• syncify: analyze synchronization work and design planner/writer workflows.
• updatify: plan upstream merges and repository updates.
• adoptify: design adoption and rollout strategies for change.
• benchmarkify: design benchmarks, harnesses, and evaluation plans.
• debtify: prioritize and sequence debt reduction work.
• evalify: design evaluation rubrics, judges, and scoring systems.
• guardraily: define policy, risk, and enforcement boundaries.

Structure

Most programs follow the same shape:

1. A reader or auditor service gathers evidence.
2. A designer or planner service turns that evidence into an actionable model.
3. A writer service produces the final prose artifact.

This repository is intentionally lightweight: the directories contain the program definitions rather than a large application framework.

Usage

Use the program directory that matches the task:

• Choose prosify when you want reusable workflows extracted from real evidence.
• Choose distillify when you need a compact mental model of a corpus or codebase.
• Choose repairify when something is broken and you need a root-cause and fix plan.
• Choose frameworkify or productize when the goal is reuse or release readiness.

Summary documents

• SUMMARY.md gives a compact overview of the repository and its program groups.
• The individual index.md files define each program contract.
