Possible

Possible

Possible connects three things:

• the user's original prompt;
• the complete execution prompt sent to a working agent;
• the resulting Outcome.

An Outcome is precedent to inspect and remix, not a rigid workflow. Preserve useful creative freedom while giving a fresh agent the context, current methods, and concrete inputs it needs.

Discover before writing

Preserve the user's original prompt verbatim. Determine whether they want to browse possibilities, prepare a prompt, execute work, or publish completed work.

For browsing or execution, use search_outcomes when the Possible MCP is available. Otherwise run npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 search "<ordinary-language request>". Show up to five relevant Outcomes when the user is browsing. When preparing work, read the strongest candidates' exact prompts with fetch_outcome or npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 fetch <outcome-id>. Search scores indicate text similarity, not quality.

Use Outcomes as concrete precedent. If none fit, use current primary sources rather than forcing an unrelated example. Prefer official documentation, current source repositories and registries, then reproducible community examples. Check volatile information at run time. Popularity is a discovery signal, not proof that an Outcome is good.

Resolve consequential unknowns

Collect only what can materially improve execution:

• the intended result, audience, use, and strong preferences;
• supplied files, measurements, references, credentials, and constraints;
• required inputs that the executor cannot safely invent;
• relevant prior Outcomes and what they actually produced;
• current Products, Skills, tools, environment, permissions, and limits;
• what the user will inspect to decide that the result is finished.

Ask the fewest questions necessary. Discover safe facts yourself. Infer harmless aesthetic details when a restrained default is sufficient. Do not turn the conversation into a form.

Prepare one execution prompt

Write one readable, self-contained prompt for a fresh agent. It should naturally state:

• the exact result and who it is for;
• relevant user context and supplied materials;
• concrete requirements and preferences;
• current Products, Skills, or tools that matter;
• deliverables and where to place them;
• constraints, permissions, and separately authorized external actions;
• what the user will inspect to judge the result;
• unknowns the executor must preserve rather than invent.

Adapt prior prompts to the current request, date, model, environment, and evidence. Never substitute a summary for a strong full prompt. Never claim an old method is current without checking. Keep the published prompt distinct from the new prompt you prepare.

Before handoff, confirm that a fresh agent can start without hidden conversation history, missing essential files, consequential unresolved choices, unsupported current claims, or unclear success conditions. Research further or ask one focused question if it cannot.

Show the proposed execution prompt and name the prior Outcomes and current official sources that materially shaped it.

Hand off once

After approval, send the execution prompt unchanged to a fresh subagent when that capability is available. Include explicit paths or attachments for every supplied file. One-shot means complete starting context; it does not forbid the executor from inspecting, testing, or repairing its work.

If fresh subagents are unavailable, return the execution prompt in a copyable block. Do not pretend a handoff occurred.

Products and Skills describe capabilities. They do not grant permission to spend money, purchase, publish, deploy, contact people, fabricate, operate hardware, or perform another external action.

Author a completed Outcome

When the user wants to publish completed work, inspect the real result and preserve the exact prompt and provenance. Create one folder:

outcomes.json
outcomes/<slug>/
  outcome.json
  outcome.md
  prompt.md
  media/        optional
  artifacts/    optional
  inputs/       optional

outcomes.json is the repository-root publisher index and is created or updated by the CLI. outcome.md is the canonical human page: one H1 title, one clear opening summary, and useful formatted explanation. prompt.md is the exact reusable execution prompt. outcome.json contains machine metadata only: author, authored timestamp, models and agents, required inputs, one primary Product or Skill, optional secondary credits, and media or artifact references. A Skill credit retains its repository, directory and last-reviewed commit.

Do not reconstruct absent provenance as fact. Mark unknown values honestly. The primary attribution is the Product or Skill people should understand first; do not duplicate it under secondary. Attributions and models belong in outcome.json; deliverables and detailed work instructions belong in prompt.md; result explanation belongs in outcome.md.

Use the CLI to scaffold and validate:

npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 create <slug>
npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 validate [directory]

Publish from the owner's source

Possible does not host publisher accounts or own the canonical files. A publisher exposes Outcomes from either:

• a public GitHub repository; or
• https://publisher.example/.well-known/possible/outcomes.json.

The publisher index is a thin list of manifest locations. Possible snapshots the public source revision and displays it; changing the source creates a new revision rather than rewriting history.

npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 publish [owner/repository | https://publisher.example]
npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 add <owner/repository | https://publisher.example>
npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 use <source>@<slug>

GitHub publishing requires a clean committed revision so the snapshot is reproducible. No Possible login is required. A publisher-domain source is Official for that domain; other sources are Community unless their ownership follows directly from the public source.

Local bookmarks

Use bookmarks only when the user asks:

npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 bookmark add <outcome-slug>
npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 bookmark list
npx @fraylabs/possible@0.3.0 bookmark remove <outcome-slug>

Bookmarks are stored locally in .possible and do not require an account.
