Description

Description

Identify literal visual elements of WorkGraph (TUI views, graph rendering, terminal output, graphwork.github.io aesthetics) that could be embedded as live or semi-live elements on poietic.life. The user wants the page to BE a piece of WorkGraph, not describe one.

Scope

  1. Run and observe: wg --help, wg viz, wg list, wg status, wg watch, wg show <task>. Note what each produces visually.
  2. Read the workgraph repo source for TUI rendering code, Mermaid/Graphviz output, ASCII graph rendering, JSONL audit format.
  3. Read graphwork.github.io and inspect its visual style.
  4. Note motifs: task DAG view, terminal aesthetic, JSONL audit trail, agent state view, chat/message threading, evolver visualization.

Output

VISUAL_LANGUAGE.md at repo root with:

  • Catalog of WorkGraph visual elements: name, what it shows, code/source reference, ASCII sample or screenshot reference
  • For each: embedding strategy on poietic.life (live, snapshot, animated SVG, recorded asciicast, embedded mermaid, etc.)
  • Wireframe sketch (ASCII or markdown) of a redesigned poietic.life using 3-5 of these elements as the actual content (not decoration)
  • Honest call: feasibility inside a single static HTML file vs requiring build step or live API

Constraints

  • Research and sketch, not implementation. Do not modify index.html or the public landing page repo.
  • No em dashes.

Validation

  • VISUAL_LANGUAGE.md exists
  • At least 5 distinct WorkGraph visual elements catalogued
  • Each has an embedding strategy
  • Wireframe sketch shows where each element lives
  • Static-HTML vs build-step vs live-API feasibility called out
