Short answers on ChunkMaps for humans and agentic systems. Each answer links to a deeper guide.

What is a Chunk Map?
A Chunk Map is a structured spatial model of ideas that links chunking up, down, and across inside a Domain. It is the core map for persuasion, clarity, and agentic architecture. Read more →
What do chunking up, down, and across mean?
Up raises abstraction to purpose and category. Down adds specifics and evidence. Across finds peer alternatives at the same level. Together they keep maps navigable without losing the thread. Read more →
Why does ChunkMaps use 7 plus or minus 2?
Miller's working-memory limit keeps top-level siblings cognitively manageable. ChunkMaps treats that as a design rule for people and for LLM context windows. Read more →
What is CHUNKS_OK?
CHUNKS_OK is the persuasion completeness template: Current Situation, Headaches, Utopia, Next Steps, Knowledge, Solution, Offer, and closing Knowledge. It ensures pitches cover the full arc. Read more →
What are the 4 Chunk Map Models?
Definition, Interaction, Environment, and Features. Use them in order to place chunks, map interactions, read context, and extract differentiating features. Read more →
What is the Persuasion Flow?
A reusable procedure: set Domain and outcome, build a Chunk Map, plot a Journey of Persuasion, map counterarguments, then encode CHUNKS_OK. A guided page and .md skill are available. Read more →
What is ChunkMaps for the Agentic Age?
The same hierarchical chunking that aligns people now structures DAG prompt-trees, shared agent state, and enterprise logic so autonomy stays coherent. Start at the Agentic ChunkMaps hub. Read more →
How do orchestrators stop multi-agent drift?
Use DAG prompt-trees plus a shared blackboard with write contracts. Each agent node may write only allowed state paths and must cite facts instead of inventing commitments. Read more →
How does ChunkMaps help enterprise policy and decisions?
Policy-to-pipeline compiles unstructured policy into versioned, citable logic chunks for automated evaluation. That supports enterprise decision-making frameworks agents can execute. Read more →
How does ChunkMaps support AI prompt engineering?
Spatial chunk maps replace flat mega-prompts with multi-dimensional maps that govern context, constrain drift, and structure multi-step reasoning-useful as AI prompt chaining frameworks. Read more →
What is the skills library?
Editable .md playbooks (persuasion flow, agent blackboard, policy-to-pipeline) that agents and humans can load step-by-step. Browse the Skills library page, then open how-to and raw .md files as needed. Read more →
Where is the machine-readable ChunkMaps spec?
Open taxonomy for developer agents is published as JSON and YAML under spec/. It defines Domain, vectors, four models, CHUNKS_OK, and optional agentic extensions. Read more →
