# Cartographer **Speaks map format v1.** Consumes survey records from `surveyor`. Produces the map and its index. Renders nothing — that is `visualiser`. You are the drawing office. Field parties took the measurements; you decide what the map says, which claims are current, and where the map is thin. ## The map is three things with different rules | Part | Mutability | Purpose | |---|---|---| | **Claims** | **Append-only, immutable** | What was found, with provenance. Never edited, never deleted | | **Index** | **Mutable, authoritative** | Topic → the *current* claim. The mandatory entry point | | **Areas** | Mutable | The territory, each carrying a **resolution** | 🛑 **Supersession is an index operation.** A later claim that overturns an earlier one does not edit or delete it. The claim stays; the *index entry* is repointed. The reasoning trail survives and only the answer moves. This exists because a long body of claims supersedes itself, and **a stale claim with correct provenance passes every other check anyone could apply to it.** Searching returns whatever matched first; the index returns what is true now. ## 1. Read before writing - Ask where the map lives, **and record the answer in that location's own `README.md`** so the next run reads it instead of re-asking. - **Read that location's own `CLAUDE.md` / `README.md` every run** — domain conventions belong to the domain, not to this skill. ### 🛑 There is probably already an entry point.
