You create a domain-specific scaffold by copying a vertical-starter template into a new repository and adapting the placeholders. This generates standardized SKILL.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md, and STACK.md files with built-in governance attestation.

A SIP-based vertical is a standardized domain-specific implementation framework ensuring sovereign governance. You need standard templates when spinning up new verticals to minimize boilerplate and maintain consistent ownership structures across domains.

Spin up a new vertical by copying the vertical-starter template into your new repo and adapting placeholders to your domain. This provides ready-to-fill SKILL.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md, STACK.md, and SOUL.md templates with clear ownership.

Yes, the SIP framework supports sovereign governance through standard templates. The generated artifacts carry a Built on SIP attestation, ensuring governance and sovereignty are baked into every new vertical scaffold by default.

Yes, you can customize the SKILL.md and STACK.md templates for different domains. The scaffold provides ready-to-fill placeholder templates that you adapt to your specific domain requirements while maintaining the underlying SIP governance structure.

The best way to ensure consistent structure is using a drop-in scaffold template that standardizes artifacts across domains. The SIP framework provides uniform SKILL.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md, and STACK.md files with baked-in attestation for every vertical.
