Charter

• Q1 — Scope: craft-core + reach-lens, text-primary + video-demo + graphics-ref? (locked via AskUserQuestion)

• Q2 — Curation: which books? (commission canon → validated/expanded by sweep)

• Q3 — Stance: is «timeless + post-AI authenticity» a real pack-defining stance with canon behind it?

Panel

• C1 — Writing / clarity craft (nonfiction)

• C2 — Storytelling / stickiness

• C3 — Technical / developer-content

• C4 — Audience / reach strategist (reach lens)

• C5 — Pack architect (scope discipline, cross-pack dedup) + ethics/authenticity

Q1 — Scope ✅

Craft = knowledge core (text-primary), reach = lens (reuse Kelly/Newport, NOT re-extracted), video-demo + graphics = thin/cross-ref. Mirrors community-engagement (B-core + C-lens). C5: making reach a full angle would duplicate community-engagement; graphics a full angle would duplicate visual-identity + color-data-viz — keep as lens/cross-ref.

Q2 — Curation (commission canon, then sweep)

Commission canon (pre-sweep): Williams «Style» · McPhee «Draft No.4» · Pinker «Sense of Style» · Gottschall «Storytelling Animal» · «Docs for Developers» · Duarte «Resonate» · Gallo «Talk Like TED» + reuse Zinsser/Heath/Kleon/Barry/Newport/Kelly.

Major dedup catch: ~6 canon books already extracted in KB → retro-tag, not re-acquire (Zinsser ~8 EU, Heath, Kleon, Barry, Newport, Kelly). Pattern repeats from community-engagement (Cialdini/Flow/Eghbal were pre-extracted).

Multi-signal sweep (Amazon co-occ + Are.na) — 5 catches

Are.na (47 curated attachment-PDFs): Zinsser ×5 (confirms canon, reuse) · 🆕 Cameron «The Artist's Way» ×4 · ✅ post-AI cluster «AI Can't Write But You Can», «Resisting AI» (McQuillan), «Creativity in an AI World» = stance anchor found.

Amazon co-occurrence (anchors: Made-to-Stick + On-Writing-Well): 🆕 Handley «Everybody Writes» (modern content-writing canon — biggest commission miss) · 🆕 Lamott «Bird by Bird» · 🆕 Berger «Contagious» · ✅ Pinker confirmed (4.5★/2358) · Strunk&White «Elements of Style» (4.6★/7222). Persuasion neighbors (Cialdini 4.7★/7627, Eyal, Godin) already in KB.

➕ ADD from sweep: Handley «Everybody Writes» (P0) · Cameron «The Artist's Way» (P1) · Lamott «Bird by Bird» (P1) · Berger «Contagious» (P1) · stance anchor «AI Can't Write But You Can» (P0). Pinker bumped P1→P0.

Q3 — Stance ✅ (pack-defining)

Timeless + post-AI authenticity (anti-AI-slop) is empirically supported: the sweep itself surfaced a post-AI cluster (McQuillan, «AI Can't Write But You Can», «Creativity in an AI World») AND the craft canon's voice-emphasis (Zinsser, Kleon «human spam», Cameron). Stance = durable human voice > generic AI content; analog of visual-identity anti-trend. Anchor «AI Can't Write But You Can» (user-chosen); extracted as the pack's T4 counter-positioning against content-mill/AI-slop.

Plan delta (applied) + user-approved source-list

Acquire P0 core (~7) first (user choice): Williams · McPhee · Pinker · Gottschall · Docs-for-Developers · Handley · «AI Can't Write But You Can». P1 (~5: Duarte/Lamott/Cameron/Gallo/Berger + Strunk opt.) demand-driven. Immediate retro-tag of 6 in-KB. Net: lean pack, most text-core already extracted, sweep-validated, built-in anti-AI-slop stance.

Acquisition list (P0 NEW — missing-books, ISBN best-recall, verify exact edition)

ISBN caveat: best-recall; verify via Open Library / Google Books before buy (per [[anna-archive-filename-metadata-unreliable]]). «AI Can't Write But You Can» surfaced as an Are.na attachment — may be a self-published/zine PDF (grab from Are.na directly if no ISBN).
