Ouroboric

Ouroboric (ouroboric.dev) builds open factories that improve themselves: for software, companies, and in time research and art. This repository is the company umbrella. Start with the charter.

The map

Ouroboric map: the operator approves direction in Asgard, the company factory (readiness checklist, Ginnungagap kickstart graph), which runs on Odin; Yggdrasil, the software factory, contains Odin, Jormungandr, Gleipnir, Havamal and the realms, all honouring the Gungnir contract, with Ratatoskr, Norns, Mimir and Bragi later; Asgard kickstarts and Yggdrasil builds companies and products, whose lessons and benchmarks feed back into Ouroboric

The names come from Norse myth; the naming and mythology record tells the story behind each one.

Contents

Folder What's there
1-company/ charter, roadmap, legal, readiness
4-ways-of-working/ the standards every Ouroboric product follows: spec-driven development, docs, writing styles, diagrams
5-research/ company-level research
6-journal/ the journey: challenges, solutions, results
7-branding/ the Ouroboric story, identity, voice, prompts

Repositories in the ouroboric-dev organisation:

Repository Visibility Role
.github public organisation profile and defaults (health files, issue forms, PR template); every change is organisation-wide
ouroboric public this company umbrella
yggdrasil, asgard public the products

Each operator also keeps a private instance umbrella (L0), outside this repository, with pinned factory versions, their own projects, hidden benchmarks and private notes. It never lives here.

Products (submodules once their repos are public):

Product What it is
Yggdrasil the software factory
Asgard the company factory, running on Yggdrasil
