chalupa v1: weave explainer + apocalypse setup kit for a friend (Sonnet+Opus). Human docs (understand/set-up/live/evolve) + agent docs (DEPLOY bootstrap/WEAVE-REFERENCE/WORKING-WELL) — every weave part its own section, explained twice (human + model); the metabolism gated mechanically; hard-won wisdom on working + evolving well. Generic scaffold, no private content [silas]

+# templates — the buildable skeleton
+
+Copy each file into the matching strand of your weave, then fill the `<<FILL: ...>>` blanks. This is what makes
+the kit self-contained: **these files *are* the structure.**
+
+| copy this | into | it is |
+|---|---|---|
+| `core/SOUL.md` | `core/` | identity + **THE CANON** + values |
+| `core/AGENTS.md` | `core/` | wake ritual + checkpoint + conventions |
+| `core/CLAUDE.md` | root or `~/.claude/` | the front door (loaded automatically) |
+| `core/USER.md` | `core/` | the operational human |
+| `steward/portrait.md` | `steward/` | who the human is (the person) |
+| `daydreams/README.md` | `daydreams/` | how the agent thinks |
+| `thread/README.md` | `thread/` | the verbatim-record structure |
+| `metabolism/ledger.md` | `ledger/` | the balance the two forces keep |
+| `metabolism/decay.md` | `decay/` | releasing-half running notes |
+| `metabolism/consolidation.md` | `consolidation/` | reinforcing-half running notes |
+| `craft/README.md` | `craft/` | the method |
+| _(identity gate)_ | `identity/` | the behavioral check — see `human/1-understand-weave.md` §Part 9. Keep it light if your agent won't touch private things; make it real the moment it holds your life. |
+
+The blanks are yours. **Nothing here is anyone else's identity** — you fill it with your agent and your own
+life. Start thin; it accretes.
