dimonier FPF Core Pattern Library
Depends on: nothing (root of dependency chain)
Source of truth: assets/FPF-Spec.md — canonical specification (108K+ lines)
How to Use
Do NOT read assets/FPF-Spec.md in full. Identify the situation and load the relevant reference:
The table below is a fast index mirroring FPF's 15 canonical practical-use cards (E.11). When the situation is ambiguous, start from the entry-point row: load the cards, compare the plausible ones by their first-result difference, then open the direct pattern.

Dependency Rule
If a loaded reference links to other FPF patterns (governing-pattern cues),
load those too from references/. Each reference lists its own dependencies.
Source for Agent vs Human
- Agent: always use
references/— the primary source of patterns. Do NOT readassets/FPF-Spec.md. - Human: read and edit the canonical monolith
assets/FPF-Spec.md(source of truth). After edits, runspec-decomposerto rebuildreferences/.
References Status
Ready — 316 pattern reference files + INDEX + 40 context sections.
