CurioQuest — Project Wiki

CurioQuest is an active My OS test-bed workspace.

Workspace coordination notes:

• workspace-team
• workspace-state

CurioQuest creates personalized, curriculum-aligned STEM story + activity books where the child is the hero of a science adventure, led by a teaching guide the family chooses (default: the owned character Professor T-Rex), set in the child's own world and language, and ending in a hands-on experiment they do at home with everyday materials — built to grow with the child across grades rather than be a one-off book.

Current status

• Mode: BUILD — pilot book-making factory + Operator Console are active.
• Module 00 Curriculum Service: built and feeding published topic catalog data into Intake.
• Module 1 Intake: built as the first Operator Console screen; valid submissions now persist to Supabase/Postgres before factory runs start. See Intake Module Build Status — 2026-06-04.
• Durable intake storage: Supabase/Postgres table public.intake_submissions; POST /runs returns both run_id and intake_id; GET /intakes/{intake_id} reads saved briefs.
• Module 2 Fetch Curriculum Packet + Reuse Check: complete; fetches published catalog row by topic_id, validates status/grade, emits selected catalog fields as LessonSpec, computes reuse keys. See M2 status.
• n8n backend workflow/control plane: reinstated 2026-06-08 because it gives founder/operator observability and control. The old 12-agent architecture remains rejected; n8n itself is now accepted. See ADR-2026-06-08.
• Modules 3–14: product module map is spec-ratified in specs/02-Module-Functional-Specs.md; n8n should orchestrate backend workflow steps while typed code services provide callable capabilities.
• Important boundary: Intake does not model print fulfillment. Print remains a later standalone capability attached to an existing generated book/order flow.
• Next action: start M3 Lesson Design + Activity from the ratified specs; M2 is closed.

Wiki pages

Recent activity

• 2026-06-14 — First COMPLETE book end-to-end (sound_quest G1): full downstream pipeline built into n8n WF1 (page plan → … → 26 gpt-image-2 pages) + /api/assemble-book route → 28-page PDF; character consistency held in production. Every run failure turned into a guardrail (repo docs/engineering/pipeline-sop-and-failure-modes.md). See dev-log.
• 2026-06-08 — n8n backend pivot: founder reinstated n8n as the backend workflow/control plane for observability and control. The old 12-agent architecture remains rejected; the n8n prohibition is removed. See ADR.
• 2026-06-04 — M2 complete: Fetch Curriculum Packet + Reuse Check is closed. It is a DB lookup/validation step plus reuse-key check; no lesson generation. See status handoff.
• 2026-06-04 — M3 merge decision: M3+M3b now operate as one Lesson Design + Activity module. Spec v1.2 mirrored in repo and vault. See ADR-008.
• 2026-06-04 — Module merge decision: M8+M9 now operate as one Storyboard module; M13+M14 now operate as one Layout + Book Assembly module. Spec v1.1 mirrored in repo and vault. See ADR-007.
• 2026-06-04 — Module 1 Intake build status: intake screen is built, controlled-field contract is implemented, and submitted briefs persist to SQLite before factory runs start. See status handoff.
• 2026-06-02 — RAW-first ingestion: added the 4 primary research reports + research/synthesis prompts + Fulton/GA curriculum PDFs to raw/; wrote source-summary pages for all six. Concept/entity synthesis deferred to next pass. See log.
• 2026-06-02 — Wiki initialized from the existing objective / business-plan / research docs. See log.
