Other Technical Spaces
Table of Contents
This document covers the technical spaces beyond C++ and SQL: three that are codegen-supported (CMake, Assets, Doc) and four that are manually authored (Emacs Lisp, Python, JavaScript, XML/FPML). For the MASD concepts see MASD, Physical Space, and Facet.
Codegen-supported technical spaces
CMake Technical Space
Group-level literate source: cmake_group.
The CMake TS covers the build system wiring: CMakeLists.txt files that
define library targets, executable targets, Catch2 test binaries, and the
PlantUML modeling targets. One facet with 8 archetypes.
The SRPP is the component build target pattern: every component has a
root CMakeLists.txt and a src-level CMakeLists.txt. The src variant
differs by component flavour (plain library / api library / core library /
service — which adds an executable).
| Archetype | Description |
|---|---|
| Component root | Top-level CMakeLists.txt (declares component, links targets) |
| Component src (plain) | Library-only CMakeLists.txt |
| Component src (api) | API-flavour library (exports macros, umbrella header) |
| Component src (core) | Core-flavour library (depends on matching api) |
| Component src (service) | Library + executable (the service binary) |
| Service src | Standalone service CMakeLists.txt |
| Component tests | Catch2 test binary target |
| Component modeling | PlantUML diagram generation target |
Profile: --profile cmake. Literate source: cmake.
Assets Technical Space
Group-level literate source: assets_group.
The Assets TS covers non-code, non-SQL generated files that support other
TSs: Qt Designer UI forms (.ui XML), PlantUML diagrams (.puml), and
shell service variable files. One facet with 4 archetypes.
The Qt UI forms here complement the C++ Qt facet: the C++ TS generates
the controller/model/window C++ classes; the Assets TS generates the
.ui form files that Qt Designer reads.
| Archetype | Description |
|---|---|
Detail dialog .ui |
Qt Designer XML for the single-record edit/view dialog |
History dialog .ui |
Qt Designer XML for the temporal history browser |
| PlantUML ER | .puml entity-relationship diagram |
| Shell service vars | Shell variable definitions for service configuration |
Profile: --profile assets. Literate source: assets.
Doc Technical Space
Group-level literate source: doc_group.
The Doc TS covers all org-mode document scaffolding: agile artefacts
(sprint, story, task, capture), knowledge and reference documents
(knowledge, recipe, runbook, skill, memory), and entity model files.
One facet with 20 archetypes. This is the TS that compass add
commands and task new / story new delegate to internally.
The SRPP here is the org-mode document contract: frontmatter fields
(#+title, #+type, #+level, #+filetags, #+created, #+updated),
a :PROPERTIES: drawer with an ID, and the standard section structure
for each document type.
| Archetype | Description |
|---|---|
| Version doc | doc_version.org — version planning document |
| Sprint doc | doc_sprint.org — sprint with status, stories, charts |
| Story doc | doc_story.org — story with goal, tasks, decisions |
| Task doc | doc_task.org — task with goal, plan, review, result |
| Capture | doc_capture.org — product backlog inbox item |
| Knowledge doc | doc_knowledge.org — knowledge article |
| Recipe | doc_recipe.org — step-by-step how-to |
| Runbook | doc_runbook.org — operational procedure |
| Skill | doc_skill.org — Claude Code skill document |
| Memory | doc_memory.org — project memory entry |
| Investigation | doc_investigation.org — open-ended investigation |
| Release notes | doc_release_notes.org — sprint release notes |
| Manual chapter | doc_manual.org — user manual chapter |
| Product identity | doc_product_identity.org — product identity page |
| Component overview | doc_component.org — component component_overview.org |
| Entity org-model | doc_entity_org.org — entity model file (authored route) |
| Field group org-model | doc_field_group.org — nested value struct model file |
| Dataset overview | doc_dataset.org — dataset documentation |
| Facet doc | doc_facet.org — facet reference document |
| Template group doc | doc_facet_group.org — template group reference document |
Profile: --profile doc. Literate source: doc.
Manually-authored technical spaces
These TSs have no codegen coverage in ORE Studio. All artefacts are written by hand (or by an LLM acting as the author, not as the generator). There is no facet catalogue and no archetype table for these TSs.
Emacs Lisp Technical Space
Components: ores.lisp, ores.compass.
Emacs Lisp is used for two purposes: ores.lisp provides the literate
programming infrastructure (org-babel tangle for settings, skills, and
templates; the ores-build-settings.el and ores-build-skills.el tangle
scripts), and ores.compass provides the developer toolkit (compass
commands, agile artefact scaffolding, journal, PR workflow).
No code generation is applied to Lisp artefacts — they are authored directly. The Lisp TS is a dependency of the build system (CMake invokes Emacs in batch mode for tangle targets), not of the entity codegen projection.
Python Technical Space
Component: ores.codegen.
Python is the implementation language of ores.codegen — the generator
itself. It is not self-hosting: the Python artefacts are not generated by
the system, they implement the system. The Python TS is therefore entirely
manually authored and has no presence in the PMM.
JavaScript Technical Space
Component: ores.org-js (agile dashboard).
JavaScript is used for the ores.org-js agile board — a browser-side
visualisation of the org-mode agile data exported as graphdata.json. All
JavaScript is manually authored. No codegen coverage.
XML / FPML Technical Space
Component: ores.fpml.
FPML (Financial Products Markup Language) data lives as XML in ores.fpml.
These files are input data to the system — they feed the automated populate
codegen route (the ores.codegen parser reads FPML XML and derives SQL
populate scripts). The XML artefacts themselves are not generated; they are
sourced from the FPML standard and maintained manually.
