Skill Graph

A rule library is usually pictured as a list and behaves as a graph. A skill relies on definitions another skill establishes, is bounded by governance tiers above it, competes for precedence with peers at its own level, and is assumed present by prompts that declare it. Understanding any single rule therefore requires understanding its neighbours, which is why libraries become fragile rather than merely large as they grow — nobody can predict the effect of a change, so nobody changes anything, and the rules age in place. Holding the relationships explicitly inverts that. What breaks if this changes becomes answerable before the change; load-bearing rules become distinguishable from vestigial ones; contradictions between departments become visible rather than latent; and coverage gaps appear as domains nothing references.

Oxcyon curates the Centralpoint skill corpus as a graph rather than a folder. When any skill changes, its dependents are identified and reconciled as part of the change; contradictions resolve to a single authority; references that no longer resolve are repaired before they fail silently. That discipline is why the corpus can keep growing without becoming untouchable, and it is the layer that distinguishes an organization's encoded judgement from a collection of prompts.
