Discipline · research-led
A discipline for HTML artifacts.
AI tools emit HTML by default. Capsule is the contract that makes those artifacts durable, inspectable, and re-readable years from now.
Hero framing exploration · 2026-05-21
Eight candidate heroes below. Each tries a different angle — discipline, outcome, comparison, question — with its own copy, layout, and background. Scroll, pick winners. Previous landing (v10.15) preserved at 94c3802.
Discipline · research-led
AI tools emit HTML by default. Capsule is the contract that makes those artifacts durable, inspectable, and re-readable years from now.
Outcome-led
One file. No network. Built to be re-opened years from now — by humans, and by the LLMs they ask to continue the work.
Substrate · question
An open spec for what to do with the HTML that AI tools already give you — so it survives the chat it was born in.
Contract · interop-first
Manifest. Provenance. Integrity. No network. The same envelope whether an LLM, a build script, or a human writes it.
Max-short · benefit-led
Sealed. Self-contained. Provenance-bearing. One file you can email, archive, or fork.
Comparison · familiar anchor
PDFs are sealed and closed. Capsules are sealed and open — programmable, inspectable, re-renderable. The HTML profile for work worth preserving.
Visual-led · brand-first
A profile of HTML for sealed, self-contained artifacts. One file. Twelve rules. Zero network.
Problem · why-this-exists
Capsule is the discipline that makes AI-generated HTML durable, inspectable, and shareable beyond the platform that produced it.
This page is itself a Capsule per Core v0.3.0 (full spec v0.3.4). Five required blocks, all inline. No network, no analytics. Validates against the reference validator. Mode: hero_framing_exploration — the eight numbered sections above are candidate framings; this layout is temporary.
