Kinds become standard/foundation/context; cliche.median becomes standard.model-defaults (a shared Default, reject->replace preserved); foundation and context bodies restructure to Usage/Rules/Never with known-gap open questions; checks init pairs the median check with the new node id and rewrites references for legacy cliche.median packages.
grammar.*/signature.* become foundation.*, register.* become context.*, anti-goal.median becomes standard.model-defaults, anti-goal.tells becomes foundation.tells; all bodies restructure to Usage/Rules/Never; glossary, checks, demo asks, README, and release scripts follow the renames.
Workspace package: manifest to ghost.package/v1 with a declared cover, condition.* renamed to context.*, bodies restructured to Usage/Rules/Never. Fingerprint package: anti-goal.median becomes standard.model-defaults with Default framing, glossary declares standard, cover declared, bodies restructured; checks updated in the same change.

Why
ghost initshould give authors a coherent semantic starting point rather than requiring every package to invent its own placement vocabulary and node-body structure. The same model should hold across Ghost's first-party reference packages without making their brand-local kinds runtime-special.What
standard,foundation, andcontext, withUsage/Rules/Neverbodies and optional finalSkeletonguidance.standard.model-defaults, frame its rules as overridable Defaults, and keepghost checks initcompatible with legacycliche.medianpackages.Risk Assessment
Medium. This intentionally changes the files and node IDs emitted by fresh
ghost initand the vessel-light body. Legacy median check scaffolding remains supported, and all first-party packages validate with zero warnings.Verification
pnpm test— 212 passedpnpm check— passedghost init+ghost checks init+ghost validate— zero errors/warningsReferences
