wardley-maps.sgit.ai — brief pack

For: the agent commissioned to build wardley-maps.sgit.ai From: Dinis Cruz, via the SG/Send Librarian Version: v0.33.62 · 23 August 2026 Licence: CC BY 4.0 — read LICENSE.md before copying anything. This site sits inside a CC BY-SA ecosystem and that collision is the biggest trap in the build.


What this is

A research site for Wardley Mapping, consolidating 194 files of unpublished mapping thinking in the __Send corpus with 26 published items spanning 2018–2025 and 34 industry resources verified in August 2026.

Three jobs were commissioned and all three are here:

  1. Consolidate what exists across __Send and the *.sgit.ai network — 01__, 02__, 05__, 06__
  2. Job A — research Dinis's own published Wardley material — 03__
  3. Job B — the best industry resources, a page each, with details, screenshots and links — 04__

Read in this order

FileWordsWhat it does
00__BRIEF.md2.0kStart here. The commission, two corrections to the premise, the thesis, the five original pages, the honesty constraint, the numbers, the build order
02__pioneers-settlers-town-planners.md1.6kThe page only this site can write — Wardley's PST as three literal AI agent teams. Never written up anywhere
04__job-b__industry-resources.md1.8kJob B: the per-resource page template, the ranked top ten, the licence minefield, three start-here paths
03__job-a__dinis-published-material.md1.5kJob A: 26 items, the seven-year through-line, and what to archive before it disappears
05__maps-and-rendering.md1.5kThe maps that exist, the coordinate contract proven by rendering, the parse rules, the working pipeline
01__concepts-index.md2.8k33 concepts with canonical paths and dates, classified standard / extension / original, plus a six-altitude teaching order
06__site-architecture.md1.1kPage-by-page IA, the house pattern to copy, what moves vs what gets referenced
07__boundaries-and-licensing.md1.3kThe CC BY / CC BY-SA collision, the do-not-publish list, screenshot ethics, house style
08__gaps-and-open-questions.md1.4k7 write-fresh items, 8 commissioned-but-never-made artefacts, 8 open questions, 7 honest tensions

maps/4 mapsOriginal wardley-beta sources and rendered SVGs. The estate's first rendered SVG maps
screenshots/scriptcapture.js + 30 targets carrying licence and attribution strings
LICENSE.md—CC BY 4.0, and the four regimes it does not cover

The four things that will bite you

1. This site is CC BY inside a CC BY-SA ecosystem. Quoting Simon Wardley's material is fine. Adapting it forces that page to be CC BY-SA 4.0. Keep everything as marked quotation and link-out. And note his blog is 3.0, not 4.0 — different licence, different notice.

2. Nothing renders. All 13 Mermaid map sources in the repo fail, for two mundane reasons (wrong code fence, one unquoted note). The 8 PNGs from 24 May are the only working visuals in the corpus. Fixing this is a day-one task and turns 13 dead code blocks into 13 maps.

3. The doctrine mapping is not in a vault — it is static HTML at pki.sgit.ai/packs/registry-mvp/doctrine.html, 41 records, and it is the site's anchor asset. The vault with maps is a different property (sgit.ai, Strategy Maps) and has no doctrine content. Moving the doctrine page is build-order step 1.

4. There is no public bridge between the security-era and agentic-era work. Job A found 26 published items ending in 2025 and 194 unpublished files starting in 2026, connected by one clause in one co-authored article. Do not write the site as though the connection already exists in public. Building it is the commission.


About the screenshots

Job B asked for screenshots. This pack ships the capture kit, not the images, and the reason is stated rather than hidden: the sandbox this pack was built in has an egress proxy that allows only package registries. Every third-party host returned ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED — including sgit.ai itself. Nothing was captured and nothing was routed around.

screenshots/capture.js does the job wherever the network is open:

cd screenshots
npm i playwright && npx playwright install chromium
node capture.js              # all 30 targets
node capture.js 04 07 13     # a subset, by id prefix

It writes captured.json recording HTTP status, page title, final URL after redirects, and a UTC timestamp for every attempt including failures. Publish that file. In an ecosystem whose own canonical indexes point at five dead tools, a screenshot with a provable capture date is the whole point.


About the maps

Four original maps in maps/, source and rendered SVG, produced with Mermaid CLI 11.14.0 and the Playwright Chromium. They are drawn about the site's own subject matter so they can go straight onto pages: the tool ecosystem, the two absences (MapKeep and the doctrine tools), maps for agents, and the site as a value chain.

They are claims, not decorations. Publish the .mmd next to the .svg so a reader can fork the argument in a pull request — which is pki.sgit.ai's own standard: "the maps live in the source and are reviewable in a diff."

Two findings came out of making them, both in 05__: the [visibility, evolution] coordinate order verified by rendering rather than repeated, and the complete wardley-beta name-parsing rule — -, . and / all break unquoted names, quoting fixes all three, and the quotes must be used in the link lines too.


House pattern

Copy pki.sgit.ai — it is the only site in the network with all six house markers, and it already hosts the doctrine work. /llms.txt as the whole agent surface; /documents/ with raw markdown as source of truth; /admin/comms.html numbering asks (N1…) and tasks (T1…); /admin/versions.html; /about/participant.html; /shipped/ separating what exists from what is designed. Add the /llms-full.txt pki lacks, and add one thing no sibling has: a link-verification job that publishes its run date.

Publish the build order unresolved, with the open questions and honest tensions visible. 08__ supplies both.
