Current release: Arketype 1.6.0 — a non-normative visual and structural design library for Kristal workspaces. Its optional ecosystem baseline is Kristal Framework 11.0.0-draft.4, bundled Authoring Kit 4.0.0-draft.3 for new v11-ready workspaces, and a separately supplied diK 1.0.0-alpha.7 CLI. These are draft/alpha dependencies, not a claim of full cross-repository qualification.
Arketype answers: Which structural archetype fits the knowledge you want to preserve? It does not own the truth of domain facts, allocate semantic identifiers, approve Wikidata mappings, or publish Kristals.
| Library component | Count | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Structural archetypes | 19 | Stable source slugs and IDs |
| Neutral historical workspace templates | 19 | Independent state_ref identities; legacy Kit 3.2.4 |
| Composition recipes | 23 | Proposals marked design_only, not canonical merges |
| Use-case profiles | 21 | Situated design and authority/data constraints |
| Situated visual diagrams | 40 | Illustrative projections, not native Kristal graphs |
| Visual patterns | 10 | Shared reader conventions |
Use catalogue/index.html for the offline visual catalogue, or Lancer_Arketype.pyw for the optional Windows desktop launcher. The original supplied SVG is preserved unchanged under assets/logo-k.svg in the Arketype 1.6.0 code distribution; this Wiki also includes the same SVG for documentation.

| Review/pin a diK catalog in the Kit | diK-Catalog-Exchange-v11 |
| Check versions and qualification boundaries | Ecosystem-Compatibility, Validation-and-Testing |
| Extend noncanonical JSON descriptions | Data-Formats, Extending-Arketype |
| Publish Wiki changes in its own repository | Publishing-the-Wiki |
Archetype ≠ canonical semantic identity ≠ populated Kristal. Labels, diagram nodes, recipe IDs and slugs describe designs. If a canonical Framework v11 semantic graph is authored later, its entity/property/assertion/source identifiers are namespace-scoped KQ/KP/KA/KS. Display words belong in separate dictionary layers. Wikidata Q/P IDs remain external and need independently reviewed exactMatch decisions.
python arketype.py create defaults to legacy Kit 3.2.4. create --authoring v11 uses the bundled Kit 4.0.0-draft.3, but creates only a blank v11-ready scaffold. It does not automatically enable strict v11 or invent a KQ, QID, translation or validated semantic claim.
Arketype's own tests validate design consistency and the local scaffold, not factual correctness, legal/clinical suitability, Framework TCK conformance, live Wikidata integration, publication or activation.
