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.

Fan-Out
Parallel delegation without reduction. Send briefs to N delegates, collect all results. The parent decides how to use them.
Metadata
version: 0.1.0role: coordinator
Runtime
state.reads: &controlStatestate.writes: &controlState
Slots
delegates
Shape
self: dispatch briefs to delegates in parallel, collect all results, return collectiondelegates:delegate_1..delegate_N: execute assigned brief
prohibited: merging or synthesizing results — that is the parent's job
Requires
- &controlState exists at __controlState with: delegates: string[] -- component names for each delegate briefs: string[] -- one brief per delegate (same length as delegates) OR a single string applied to all delegates
Ensures
- Each delegate receives exactly one brief
- All delegates execute in parallel
- No delegate knows other delegates exist
- Results are returned as an ordered array matching the input delegates
- No merging or synthesis — the raw results are the output
- &controlState.result contains the array of all delegate outputs
- &controlState.results contains the same array (keyed alias)
Delegation
const { delegates, briefs, task_brief } = __controlState;
// Normalize briefs: single string broadcasts to all, array maps 1:1
const briefList = Array.isArray(briefs)
? briefs
: delegates.map(() => briefs || task_brief);
// All delegates run in parallel
const results = await Promise.all(
delegates.map((delegate, i) => {
return rlm(briefList[i], null, { use: delegate });
})
);
__controlState.result = results;
__controlState.results = results;
return(results);
Notes
No delegate knows other delegates exist. Each receives a brief and returns a result. The fan-out control collects results but does not interpret them — interpretation is the parent's responsibility.
Different from map-reduce: map-reduce includes a reducer that merges results into a single output. Fan-out returns the raw collection. Use fan-out when the parent needs to see all results individually (e.g., to compare, to select, to present side-by-side). Use map-reduce when the goal is a single merged artifact.
Different from race: fan-out waits for ALL delegates. Race returns the FIRST acceptable result and cancels the rest.
