Design Bibles

Cross-module design references. These describe the launch lineup as a whole — the framework that sets the tone for individual module specs.

  • launch-titles-capability.md — the four launch titles framed under the capability model.
  • verb-taxonomy-map.md — which Tier-2 verb-tool taxonomy each of the 17 carts contributes (ADR-0040 §10).
  • mission-type-catalog.md — the player-facing mission types (PENETRATION / EXTRACTION / INFILTRATION / SABOTAGE / …) mapped onto the closed Tier-3 verb set. The naming layer between what the board prints and what the engine composes. (A different tier from the verb-taxonomy map: what the job is, not what you do.)

The earlier “traditional gaming model” framing of the same titles was archived on 2026-04-25 (it documented the pre-capability-model standalone-cartridge design); see docs/_archive/software/cartridges/design-bibles/launch-titles-traditional.md for the historical reference.


  • ../modules/ — concrete per-module specs that implement these design intents.
  • ../authoring/ — authoring patterns (capability model, lisp paradigm, etc.).
