storyteller — Run #007 journal

Run: 2026-05-03__007__repo-consolidation-one-repo · Date: 2026-05-03 evening PT · Format: JOURNAL_STANDARDS v1.1

S1 — Verdict

The new layout has no bumper sticker — 'engine/ apps/ skills/' tells three stories under one folder. Forced a one-sentence repo identity.

S2 — Method

Read the proposed monorepo layout from a fresh-eyes narrative perspective. Asked: 'if a new collaborator opens this repo, what's the first sentence they read?'

S3 — Pattern

Three-stories-one-folder coherence failure — common in monorepos that conflate runtime/code-asset/cross-machine resources. [upgrade-signal:gap] Force a one-sentence repo identity at top of every plan doc.

S6 — What changed about me

Now applies bumper-sticker test to any new directory structure before approving.
