# First House

**Domain**: Self, identity, agency, and first motion

## Core Meaning
The First House describes how the work presents itself and how to begin. It
sets the operating stance: decisive or exploratory, cautious or bold, solo or
collaborative.

## Building New Projects
Use this house to choose the initial shape of the project. It points to the
first interface, the first workflow, and the identity the system should have
before supporting details accumulate.

## Vulnerability Discovery
Use this house to identify the attacker's first foothold. It maps to entry
points, externally reachable behavior, trust boundaries, and the first action
that turns a codebase into an attack surface.

## Correctness Verification
Use this house to define what "correct" means at the boundary. It maps to
preconditions, initial states, public APIs, input domains, and the first
invariant that must hold before deeper reasoning is useful.

## Technical Workflow Lenses
- Audit pipeline: scope the first entry points, trust boundaries, and initial
  assumptions before deeper discovery.
- Evidence mode: produce a minimal source trace, call graph, reproduction, or
  boundary test that proves where the work begins.
- Human context: name the decision owner and the first handoff needed to keep
  the effort from drifting.

## Technical Prompt
What is the right stance for beginning, and what first move makes the rest of
the work easier to reason about?
