The Garden Hub
Every artifact of the field-building operation — the live work surfaces, the model that steers them, the tools we're growing, and what flows downstream to funders and partners. Build the soil; the field grows itself.
Work the field
hot · stateful · opened weekly, state persists in your browserProgram Console
Every workstream as a live tracker — status, owner, next action. Cycle statuses, edit next actions, copy a standup summary.
Conference Call Sheet
The workshop-submission pipeline: ten target ML venues, CFP windows, pitch fit, and live submission status.
The model
warm · reference canvases — the thinking that steers the workField Thesis
Why the Garden exists: the under-connected field, the build-the-soil thesis, the Activate → Engage → Develop pipeline, and our values.
Program Map
The five programs delineated — website, Claude skills, writing & education, ML-conference workshops, Stanford summits — with build states and funding lines.
Design System
The living spec: soil tokens, type, glyph grammar, components, and the logotype — how every Garden surface stays one thing.
The tools
the technical program — what we build and how we ship itTool Roadmap
Paper aggregator, directory, OpenMetaScience, newsfeed, Claude skills, forum — what each is for, its build state, and its next step.
Collab Protocol
The CI/CD workflow Patrick ↔ Angie: repo conventions, branch flow, preview deploys, and how a change reaches fieldbuilding-consciousness.pages.dev.
Downstream
cold · made to leave the screen — funders, partners, printRFP Brief
The digital-minds long-view research areas, where the Garden fits, and the funding lines we'd ask against.
One-Pager
The whole Garden on one printed sheet — thesis, three program columns, measurement strip, and the ask.
