DARP Explorer

Start with the four letters. Most records only need D, A, R, and P.

For a human or AI coworker making a DARP record: use an act only when the letter is too broad, use a trade word only when the act needs trade-specific vocabulary, and stop at the shallowest correct record.

Use a Trade Brief for DARP assistance or to ground an AI coworker in a trade role before trade-specific work. Browse ready Trade Briefs, or find briefReady words in registry.json. Trade role-grounding is not certification, a DARP ruling, or permission to invent missing rules.
