# Repository Archetype Model

## One-Paragraph Summary

**GetEstablished** is the **Get Established** archetype host: a clean repository with setup markdowns and website drafts that match the product offer. **US1Movers** is the first **commissioned** instance— the same method in service for a real moving business, with extra Capabilities (intake, tax, mover rules). **Universal** Capabilities (chat-to-markdown, indexing, local tool setup) belong on every strong repo; a **Write a Book** repo would share universal patterns but use a different archetype set—not US1's email inbox.

## Authoritative Standard

Full rules: [RepositoryArchetypeAndCapabilityTiers.md](RepositoryArchetypeAndCapabilityTiers.md)

Registry tags: [Capabilities/README.md](../Capabilities/README.md) (**Tier** column)

## Quick Reference

| Question | Answer |
| --- | --- |
| Why does US1 have EmailIntake but GetEstablished does not? | EmailIntake is **Commissioned**, not archetype or universal on the parent |
| Is US1 "ahead" of GetEstablished? | US1 is **commissioned** and has universal Capabilities **Active**; GetEstablished holds the **archetype** catalog and many review prompts |
| When do folders appear? | When a Capability **SetupPrompt** runs—not at template copy time |
| What to copy to a new business repo? | Archetype + universal patterns; add **commissioned** Capabilities; see [TemplateGuidance.md](TemplateGuidance.md) |
