Access, presentation, and family-safe wayfinding.
Primary navigation
The front door.
These are the everyday entry points: the places a family member should hit first before dropping into deeper systems.
Available hubs
The household atlas.
All family hubs are tracked in DB | 103 | Fam Hubs. This layer should help people find the right domain without learning the back-end structure.
REF index pages
Pointers, not duplicates.
These reference pages should behave like clean indexes into canonical systems. They should stay light, browseable, and clearly marked.
How this works
Operating model and ownership.
Home OS works only if ownership stays explicit. This section keeps the routing logic, admin links, and canonical boundaries visible.
Front door, family-safe navigation, visibility and access checklist, cross-family map.
Active home ops hub, deeper project context, workshop, reno, and vehicle coordination.
Systems of record for tasks, projects, documents, recipes, travel, budgets, and maintenance.
Canonical pointers that make browsing easier without duplicating truth.

Next steps and priorities
Build the surface, not the duplicates.
The next move is to make Home OS feel simpler than the architecture behind it. These priorities keep the interface useful while the real systems stay canonical.
Immediate next steps
- Rename pages to match canonical naming conventions.
- Assign owners for each overlapping domain.
- Convert placeholders into clear pointers.
- Move only the truly misplaced pages instead of reshuffling everything.
- Mark legacy duplicates once link replacement is complete.
Top feature priorities
- Guided Start with a three-button front door: Today, Add Something, Find Something.
- One-tap Family Inbox capture with pre-labeled task, question, reminder, and idea routes.
- Hub cards dashboard with icon, description, and click-through clarity.
- Inbox triage board using New, Needs Decision, Routed, and Done.
- Canonical badges that visibly mark pointer pages vs. systems of record.
Feature themes
- Navigation and wayfinding through guided start, hub cards, and route clarity.
- Capture and triage through Family Inbox, triage board, and review queues.
- Roles and guardrails through family mode surfaces, safe edit zones, and admin separation.
- Family operations through Today views, meals entry, and house quick links.
- Maintainability through link checks, canonical badges, and hub registry hygiene.
