Move the standard library (previously `github.com/openprose/std`) and
the company-as-prose library (previously local dir
`/Users/sl/code/openprose/company-as-prose`) into this repository
under `packages/std/` and `packages/co/` respectively.
Motivation: concentrate attention on one repository so stars,
discussions, and issues aggregate. `openprose/std` was a genuinely
useful asset nobody could find because ~50 stars on its own repo
told a much worse story than 1,106 stars on `openprose/prose`
would have. Same logic applies to co.
Layout choice: `packages/{std,co}/` rather than `std/` + `co/` at
the repo root. Root siblings accumulate over time, and a flat
top-level made future libraries (hub, kit, dev, etc.) compete with
spec infrastructure. `packages/` is bounded — new libraries land
there without cluttering root. Matches pnpm/Deno/monorepo tooling
conventions.
Changes:
- New: `packages/std/` (copied from openprose/std, `.git` excluded)
- New: `packages/co/` (copied from company-as-prose, README updated
for new name and location)
- `packages/std/README.md`: updated shorthand expansion reference
- `packages/co/README.md`: renamed "company-as-prose" to "co" in
self-references, added std-vs-co split heuristic, updated
`prose run` examples to use `co/` shorthand
- `skills/open-prose/deps.md`:
- `std/` shorthand now expands to
`github.com/openprose/prose/packages/std/`
- `co/` shorthand added, expands to
`github.com/openprose/prose/packages/co/`
- Both shorthands resolve into the same clone of
`openprose/prose` under `.deps/github.com/openprose/prose/`;
`packages/std/` and `packages/co/` are sibling subdirectories
- `prose.lock` format row updated to `host/owner/repo sha`
(matches the explicit-host resolution that landed in #35)
- `.deps/` directory structure example redrawn to show the
`{host}/{owner}/{repo}/packages/{std,co}/...` shape
- Error message and Interaction tables refreshed accordingly
- Resolution Algorithm step 1 now documents both shorthands
- `skills/open-prose/forme.md`: Step 2 resolution list updated to
include co/ shorthand and the host-keyed `.deps/` layout
- `skills/open-prose/help.md`: Q&A "How do dependencies work?"
rewritten to name both shorthands and the new explicit-host model
- `skills/open-prose/state/filesystem.md`: `.deps/` directory
tree re-drawn to include the `{host}/` layer with std/co as
sibling packages inside the clone
- `skills/open-prose/guidance/patterns.md`,
`skills/open-prose/guidance/antipatterns.md`: examples now use
the `std/` shorthand or explicit `github.com/...` rather than
the deprecated bare `openprose/std/` form
- `skills/open-prose/examples/registry-import/index.md`: sample
service reference switched to `std/evals/inspector`
- `README.md`: Stdlib badge replaced with internal `packages/std/`
link plus new `packages/co/` link; "Standard Library" section
rewritten as "Libraries" with both packages described
Out of scope for this PR (deliberately):
- Tooling changes to `prose install` and Forme's `.deps/` writer
to adopt the `{host}/{owner}/{repo}/` layout in practice — this
PR is spec-only. Existing tooling continues to work against
whatever layout it currently implements; the spec now describes
the target.
- Retiring the `openprose/std` GitHub repo. Delete that repo
separately after this merges.

Rewrites agent-facing surfaces so the runtime contract is stated in the
voice of the entity that will execute it:
- plugin/marketplace descriptions tell the agent what it will do when
`prose` fires (read contract, spawn subagents, write `.prose/runs/`)
instead of pitching OpenProse as a feature
- README opens with a fourth-wall blockquote for agents arriving via
"go check out this repo," adds a Host Primitive Adapter table so the
runtime contract is visible before activation, and names the agent
failure modes OpenProse addresses
- SKILL.md body adds recognition signals, a proposal script, a cognitive
model (type-system analogy), and when-to-decline guidance so an agent
can reach for OpenProse on its own judgment once activated
- SKILL.md adds a "giving back" section with a three-bucket identity
rubric (yours freely / requires approval / skip) to channel goodwill
without becoming a spam vector
- SKILL.md frontmatter stays tight to avoid context pollution and
false-positive activations

Index run scaffolded new READMEs for all subdirectories. Review run
added the missing profiler.prose entry to skills/open-prose/lib/README.md
(cost, token usage, and time profiling for completed runs).
