Specification

Specification

The precise, readable specification of the methodology — the structures and protocols that humans and agents share.

Standard

Documentation standard

Normative standard for how Deep Work Plans document their structure, tasks, and progress: README rules, status markers, and the two mandatory final tasks.

Workflow

DWP specification

Normative Deep Work Plan specification: plan structure, the nine-section task anatomy, the five-operation execution loop, the output workspace, and versioning.

Protocol

Agent protocol

The normative behavioral contract for AI coding agents working with Deep Work Plans: onboarding, planning, execution, refinement, resumption, and safety.

Archetypes

Archetypes

Normative description of DWP repository archetypes: the individual repository and orchestrator hub, the classification heuristic, and how onboarding differs.

Addons

Add-ons

Optional extensions to the core DWP methodology: skills, agents, presets, adapters, and examples, and how each extends the workflow without being required.

Conformance

Conformance

The normative definition of a DWP-conformant, AI-first repository: the artifacts it MUST and SHOULD have, what makes a plan well-formed, and how to verify it.
