The ecosystem

Five elements, one body of water.

Every skill lives at a depth. The shallower ones shape intent and governance; the deeper ones hold the foundations everything else rests on.

The library

8 skills.

Short, usable, and revised as the water changes. Filter by element, or read the whole reef.
