Division of labor
Rule of thumb
| HCI Nerdz | OpenShellOrg |
|---|---|
How should humans see and manipulate systems? |
How should CLIs and shells speak and compose? |
Surfaces, themes, dialogs, spatial UI, attention |
Flags, pipes, entrypoints, help budgets, env refresh |
Innovate / prototype GUIs |
Standardize / certify / companion-tool CLIs |
DevCentr sits beside both: it recommends and configures environments; it does not own SOS or HCI chrome.
