Clarity Engine

These prototypes are how we learn. We're building an interactive system, and each one tests a different idea, interaction, or technical approach. You're getting a peek into our rapid feedback cycle.

Week 1

Design Concept: Drop / Mark / Picture

Animated prototype of the capture mechanic. Teardrop messages, water drop ripple, wall bounce, dot condense at header, Clarity Report bloom from underwater. The invisible thing governing the design.

Clarity Engine v3

The live app. Two-actor interaction model, labeled workspace rooms, real capture ceremony, integrated design system, full scenario flow. The thing we'll hand off to Vinny and Lucas.

Clarity Engine v5

v4 fork with the fitness-observation architecture — policy-gated scenarios, Hold as a first-class path.

Live Fri Apr 17, 2026

Animation Sandbox

The real capture ceremony (ripple + travel up wall + condense) with live controls, plus eight experimental alternatives. Speed, intensity, spread, count, curve, easing, category color — all tunable so Vinny and the team can feel the "calm confidence" together.

Interaction Rule Set

Consolidated rule set: 50 numbered rules, state machine diagrams, phase filters, 43 source docs. The "magic" made legible.

Live Tue Apr 1, 2026

Agent Prompts + Tests

System prompt implementing all P1 Early rules. 15 test scenarios with pass/fail grading. The repeatable pattern for extending the system.

The Loop Visualizer

Animated 2x2: how conversation and artifacts form a feedback loop that reduces the possibility space. 16 steps, sticky notes accumulate, dimensions narrow.

A/B Agent Experiment

Blind test: "The Spec" (Give-to-Get executed perfectly) vs "The Spec + Insight Layer" (contradiction detection, dimension reduction). Rate both, see the reveal.

State Explorer

Playable R0-R7 state machine. Click through the conversation flow: what the agent knows, does, says, which rules fire, and where it goes next.
