Component Pragmatics

Park it for nowNothing has happened since 2026-08-16, but the question is still open: there is no component-creation skill, and the component philosophy covers principles, not creation-time choices.

Next: Add a PICKUP.md (or a Stage 2 CYCLE.md) so it reads as parked, and list it in CYCLES.md. · Pick a new model codebase: app.qpoint.io is stale; the qdash app is the likely source of worked examples.

Why we did this

We had principles for shared components, but no rules for the moment of making one: a reusable pattern or a one-off special part, shared or local?

What happened

Not started. The question and where to look for answers were written down; no rules, skill or worked examples were produced.

In wordsThe gap was named: nothing guides the choice of what kind of component to build.

  1. 1

    The gap was named: nothing guides the choice of what kind of component to build.

    The question, written down · came from Mark Parson

Also in this cycle
  • The concrete card extraction became its own cycle, so neither waits on the other. In words

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

No ruling needed: the work itself is the change.

So now

The gap was named: nothing guides the choice of what kind of component to build.

Thanks to

Asked whether we have rules for making components

Raised the pattern-versus-specialty question (a Slack config panel used once or twice) and pointed at app.qpoint.io as the model to learn from.
