"Every exit is a promise of adventure." — The Gezelligheid Grotto Guest Book
An Exit is a navigation link connecting one room to another. In MOOLLM's spatial architecture, exits are the EDGES of the memory palace graph.
Exits can be:
Don Hopkins' pie menu insight: direction IS meaning.
| Direction | Purpose |
|---|---|
| N/S/E/W | "Highway" links to major rooms |
| NW/NE/SW/SE | "Grid" links to expandable sub-rooms |
| UP/DOWN | Vertical transitions |
| IN/OUT | Conceptual transitions |
Cardinal directions form the spiderweb — the main navigation network. Diagonal directions form grids — expandable arrays of sub-rooms.
Guards are natural language conditions that control access:
guard: "player has the brass key"
guard_js: "(ctx) => ctx.player.inventory.includes('brass-key')"
guard_py: "lambda ctx: 'brass-key' in ctx.player.inventory"
The guard field contains human-readable intent.
The guard_js and guard_py fields contain compiled code.
The adventure compiler emits COMPILE_EXPRESSION events for guards that need compilation.

From Frances Yates' "The Art of Memory":
"The method of loci places items at specific locations along an imagined journey."
Every exit is a doorway in the memory palace. The direction encodes meaning. Players navigate by spatial memory.

The grammar rules that make MOOLLM's file system object-oriented. Plural directory names declare element type; UPPERCASE marker files declare interface exports (COM-style, minus the UUIDs); directories are implementation classes exporting every interface whose marker file sits at their root.
Mother skill for platform-descriptor sister skills. Defines what a BIOME is — a bounded region of an ecosystem (coexisting, exchanging, never isolated) for one platform you operate — and what files, subdirectories, and cross-biome bridges every daughter biome inherits.
A skill is documentation that learned to do things.
