# For agents: Public and private libraries

The ideal OpenProse · board 8 of 17 · 2026-10-09.
This deck describes a proposed experience.

Combine shared foundations and specialist contracts with each organization’s own requirements.

## On the slide

Shared foundations.

Specialist knowledge.

Your requirements.

**Reuse what is common. Express what is specific.**

## Explanation

Common contracts cover evidence, evaluation, coordination, environments, and continuation. Domain libraries express the needs of mathematics, quantitative models, manufacturing, and other fields. People and organizations add their own agreements and context. Two organizations can share model-documentation and grounding contracts while supplying different disclosure policies. As applications expose common needs, useful abstractions can move back into the shared library. That feedback should follow demonstrated reuse. A growing directory is valuable when its parts make real work easier to express, understand, and assess.
