#+TITLE: PROJECT: Off-Grid Field Guide (Universal Literate Note)
#+STARTUP: content
#+FILETAGS: :off-grid:guide:manual:portability:psf:

* Overview
The *Off-Grid Field Guide* project aims to develop a modular manual for off-grid living and activities. It is designed for physical portability, specifically fitting the traveler's notebook format, and provides interchangeable modules for navigation, first aid, and survival.

* Phase A: Demand (PRD)
:PROPERTIES:
:STATUS: FROZEN
:END:

** 1. Purpose
Define the requirements for a modular, practical, and highly portable manual for off-grid scenarios.

** 2. User Needs
- *Modularity:* Interchangeable content blocks based on activity (e.g., Water Sourcing, Radio Comms).
- *Portability:* Optimization for the "Traveler's Notebook" physical form factor.
- *Practicality:* High-signal, low-noise instructions suitable for emergency use.
- *Durability:* Design considerations for physical print and use in harsh environments.

** 3. Success Criteria
*** TODO Taxonomy definition for initial modules (Nav, First Aid, Comms)
*** TODO Layout template for standard traveler's notebook dimensions
*** TODO Export pipeline from Org-mode to PDF/Print
*** TODO Content extraction from existing survival manuals (Atomic Note Distillation)

* Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)
:PROPERTIES:
:STATUS: SIGNED
:END:

** 1. Architectural Intent
Interfaces for content organization and artifact generation. Source of truth is the Zettelkasten and the physical publishing templates.

** 2. Semantic Interfaces
#+begin_src bash
(defun guide-export-module (module-id)
  "Generates a print-ready PDF for a specific guide module.")

(defun guide-verify-consistency (module-id)
  "Checks module for broken links or outdated safety information.")
#+end_src

* Phase D: Build (Implementation)
Implementation involves content research, drafting in Org-mode, and designing LaTeX/CSS templates for print.

** Artifact Generation
#+begin_src bash
;; Placeholder for export scripts and layout templates
#+end_src

* Phase E: Chaos (Verification)
Verification involves field-testing the physical guide in off-grid conditions and ensuring content accuracy via expert review or cross-referencing.
