Experimental/Experiment DesignerMVE domain knowledge and coaching conventions for the Experiment Designer agent
Experimental/GraphifyConventions for consuming graphify-out/ knowledge-graph evidence inside the RPI workflow
Experimental/Mural/Mural BootstrapFresh-session Mural bootstrap requirements for doctor checks, credential backend selection, and safe escalation before Mural tool use.
Experimental/Mural/Mural DestinationsOpen destination registry for Mural extractor writeback: registered adapters, intent axis, and per-destination loop-closure metrics.
Experimental/Mural/Mural Human RecordMural is the durable record of human conversation; AI never silently authors decisions and AI contribution must remain visible somewhere durable.
Experimental/Mural/Mural Log HygieneOperator log-hygiene contract for Mural customizations: never echo raw URLs, Azure SAS query strings, OAuth tokens, or Authorization headers; the skill _redact() is a defense-in-depth backstop, not a license to log.
Experimental/Mural/Mural Seeding PatternsCross-cutting Mural seeding conventions: duplicate-then-populate, source-artifact-to-area binding, anchor inheritance, probe-before-bulk, z-order visibility (detection-only), layout primitives applied across DT, RAI, and UX/UI workflows.
Experimental/Mural/Mural Writeback HygieneWriteback hygiene rules for Mural: tags, hyperlinks, and parentId are the only stable channels; reserved tags are protected; tag manifests are re-applied defensively.
Experimental/Mural/Mural Writing StyleAsymmetric writing style for Mural: outbound (writing into Mural) is sticky-concise; inbound (extracting from Mural) is context-hydrated.
