Vertical Creator

Core Rule

Keep verticals declarative. A vertical defines entity shape, template catalogs, scaffolds, defaults, and applicable presets. It must not require CLI core branches for a specific domain.

The CLI may provide only generic vertical infrastructure:

• Schema validation.
• Template catalog loading.
• Template materialization.
• Settings/dev-mode gating.
• Generic preset and profile selection.

Vertical-specific behavior belongs in vertical assets, template catalogs, preset manifests, and declared process scripts. A vertical's completion.sources, completion.gates, and completion.closeoutDefaults describe domain checks; a preset profile selects gate ids. Keep the source and gate declarations in the package that owns their domain meaning, and keep execution inside a declared preset entrypoint.
