What problem does it solve?

Aligns a repository's living story with its source-of-truth docs, tightening the durable narrative so the current product or project reality is accurately reflected in a single, trusted artifact.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Map the current truth surface by reading the repo's source documents and durable docs.
  • Surface contradictions, stale assumptions, and missing decisions to prevent drift.
  • Rewrite durable docs so the aligned story is honest in one place and ready for downstream briefs.
  • Derive an audience-neutral brief skeleton that can be adapted for delivery later, and generate a portable artifact at <repo-root>/charness-artifacts/narrative/latest.md.

Quick Start

Prompt the agent to align the repo's source-of-truth, surface tensions, and generate a durable, audience-neutral narrative artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I align source-of-truth docs with the current repo narrative?

You can align source-of-truth docs by mapping the repo's existing documents, surfacing contradictions and stale assumptions, then rewriting durable docs to reflect the aligned product reality in a single trusted artifact.

What is a durable narrative artifact and when do I need one?

A durable narrative artifact is a single trusted document that aligns a repository's living story with its source-of-truth docs, needed when preventing drift between project reality and existing documentation.

How do I generate an audience-neutral brief from existing repository docs?

Generate an audience-neutral brief by reading the repo's source documents, aligning the truth surface, and deriving a brief skeleton that can be adapted for downstream delivery later.

Can I rewrite durable docs for a repo that already has existing narratives?

Yes, you can rewrite durable docs for repos with existing narratives by mapping the current truth surface, surfacing missing decisions, and producing a portable artifact at charness-artifacts/narrative/latest.md.

Does narrative alignment work without external dependencies?

Yes, narrative alignment works without external dependencies, using only the repo's existing source-of-truth documents and durable docs to map contradictions and rewrite the aligned story.

What's the best way to surface stale assumptions in source-of-truth documents?

The best way to surface stale assumptions is to map the current truth surface by reading source documents, identifying contradictions, and rewriting durable docs to prevent drift in the aligned narrative.
