Glossary

Vocabulary for the HELIX system. The activities, the workflow actions, the core concepts, and the tracker primitives.

For the artifact catalog (descriptions, prompts, examples, relationships), see Artifacts. For cross-cutting concerns, see Concerns — both have been promoted out of the glossary into top-level sections.

Activities
The seven HELIX activity types, with the artifacts each produces.
Actions
Bounded workflow commands and compatibility entrypoints — frame, design, build, review, align.
Concepts
Core ideas: authority order, context digests, ratchets, principles.
Tracker
Beads, labels, dependencies, and queue control on top of DDx.
