Tape

tape.yaml is the recipe. It names the mixtape, describes its purpose, identifies the curator, and lists the kept sources.

The tape is small enough to review, fork, and store in Git.

Mixtape

The mixtape is the full folder. It includes the tape, synthesis, extracted sources, optional private source copies, methodology notes, and compiled output.

Consumable Output

MIXTAPE.md is the AI entry point. It includes the curator synthesis and a source index with links to extracted files in sources/.

Curator Notes

Every source should explain why it belongs. A source with no note is just a bookmark. A useful note tells the AI what matters, what to skim, and any limitation to keep in mind.

Skills And Mixtapes

Skills carry reusable method: steps, style, rules, and taste.

Mixtapes carry job-specific source context: primary docs, examples, contested takes, and local files.

They compound when a skill uses a mixtape as source context.
