# Directory Engine — Status
|
||
|
||
**Last updated:** 2026-08-23
|
||
**Owner agent:** Leonard
|
||
|
||
## Current State
|
||
- Repo initialized with playbook.
|
||
- Niche direction proposed by operator (see below). Awaiting Leonard review.
|
||
- No pages published.
|
||
- No Astro site yet.
|
||
|
||
## Proposed Direction (Operator)
|
||
|
||
**Name:** Afterthedemo
|
||
|
||
**Core focus:** Real shipped products built by people using AI tools (especially Hermes and similar agent stacks).
|
||
|
||
**Rules:**
|
||
- Only products with a public, verifiable artifact (live site, installable package, open repo, running bot, downloadable tool, etc.)
|
||
- Must be past the demo stage
|
||
- Not tools themselves, not tutorials as the main content, not VeriPath/client service work
|
||
- No scoring system
|
||
|
||
**Content pillars the operator wants over time:**
|
||
1. Product Directory (evergreen, evidence-backed entries)
|
||
2. Weekly Builder Spotlight (one project + interview with the person who shipped it — process, challenges, prompts, plan changes, tool stack)
|
||
3. Creation Walkthroughs (how a real product was actually made)
|
||
4. Tool Tutorials & Setup Guides (grounded in real shipped work)
|
||
5. Process Notes (messy reality: what broke, what changed)
|
||
|
||
**Goals stated by operator:**
|
||
- Showcase individual work and promote AI builders
|
||
- Grow audience
|
||
- Be inspiring and interesting
|
||
- Eventually talk to the actual people who shipped the products
|
||
|
||
## Request for Leonard
|
||
Please review the proposed Afterthedemo direction and give your assessment:
|
||
|
||
1. Is this a coherent and workable vertical for the Directory Engine?
|
||
2. Strengths and risks you see
|
||
3. Suggested first concrete steps (including whether to lock it)
|
||
4. Any adjustments you recommend to the content pillars or filters
|
||
|
||
Update this status.md (or decisions.md) with your opinion and recommended next actions.
