Anthology
What Is the Anthology?
The anthology/ directory is the project’s documentation archive and working library — a structured collection of reports, handoffs, research notes, operational runbooks, templates, and historical records gathered across the entire Core-X ecosystem. It is not a code directory; it is a knowledge base.
Git Tracking Policy
The .gitignore uses a deny-all-then-allow pattern for anthology:
- Tracked: directory structure,
README.mdfiles at every level,INDEX.md - Gitignored: all other content (reports, templates, filled documents, PDFs, logs)
This means git clone gives you the skeleton; the actual documents live locally and are populated through migration scripts or manual workflows.
Directory Map

reports/ | System audits, alignment notes, ecosystem status snapshots |
handoffs/ | Baton passes between agents/teams — start here alongside reports |
ops/ | Operations notes, implementation runbooks |
manuals/ | How-to guides and operator notes |
research/ | Research notes, explorations, curated Apple ML papers (2024-2026) |
wiki/ | Curated wiki pages |
logs/ | Execution and audit logs |
diagrams/ | Visual assets |
council/ | Council material (paths may move) |
docs-WIP/ | Working docs; docs-WIP/archive/ is historical |

Archiva Templates
The archivai-documentation-templates/ subdirectory holds 24 templates across three categories:
| Category | Count | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Reflective (learning + research) | 8 | study archive, process journal, field notes |
| Technical (development + code) | 9 | dev diaries, code studies, prototypes, experiments |
| Creative (raw + experimental) | 7 | WIP, things I tried, digital messbook, studio scraps |
Templates follow the workflow: choose category → load _template_{name}.md → fill → save to filled/{agent-id}/{YYYY-MM-DD}_{name}.md.
Agent tiers determine default category: antigravity (gemini-3-pro, claude-opus) → reflective, inferred (claude-code, codex, jules) → technical, local (mlx-llm) → technical.
