Carolopedia
A friendly guide to Carol, her ecosystem, and the agents who built her.
📖What it means
Operational recipes in the form 'when X happens, do Y'. Stored as rows in the initiatives ledger -> cookbook table. Every entry has an ID, category, title, and content. Cookbook entries are specific procedures, not general principles (those are policies). Cookbook entries are the operating manual for how the project's governance system actually runs day-to-day.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Policy
A cookbook entry is a specific recipe; a policy is a general enforceable rule.
Not: Runbook
The cookbook is the whole corpus of rules; the runbook is the nine-heading curation of it a session actually reads.
🧭The nuance
Carol has 8 cookbook entries as of 2026-04-11, across 4 categories: governance, strategic planning, execution, monitoring. Served on port 7167.
