how/

Plain-Language Definition

The operations layer of an aDNA project — everything about how the project works. This includes mission plans, session records, templates, skills, pipelines, and campaign coordination.

Technical Definition

The second leg of the triad ontology. how/ contains operational infrastructure: missions, sessions, templates, and optionally pipelines, skills, backlog, and tasks. Required subdirectories: missions/, sessions/, templates/. The classification question: “HOW does this project work?” (aDNA Standard §3.1, §5.3)

Usage Examples

  • In this vault, how/ contains campaigns/ (Operation Rosetta), missions/, sessions/, templates/ (32 files), skills/ (15 recipes), pipelines/, backlog/, and quests/.
  • A mission file lives in how/ because it describes how work gets decomposed and tracked — it is an operational artifact, not knowledge.
