Person Entity Pages — Batch 3 Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Create ~35 person entity pages for uncovered authors, editors, and anthology co-contributors, extend the relationship vocabulary with co-contributor, update the fuller-people.md registry, and maintain bidirectional links.
Architecture: Follow the established entity-person model from IMP-8/9/12/16-19. Each person page uses standard frontmatter (title, category, relationship, tags, sources, confidence, volatility, summary) and body (blockquote identity, bio, Relationship to Fuller, See Also, Sources). All new pages go in .wiki/wiki/topics/. Registry updates go in .wiki/wiki/references/fuller-people.md.
Tech Stack: Markdown (Wiki.js-compatible), YAML frontmatter
Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-30-person-entity-pages-batch-3-design.md
Reference: Entity-Person Page Template
Every new page follows this structure exactly. The frontmatter date fields use today's date (2026-07-30). Relationship section heading is ## Relationship to Fuller (not "Role in Fuller's orbit").

[[r-buckminster-fuller|R. Buckminster Fuller]]'s world — their contribution,
their work's relationship to Fuller's ideas, or the anthology context.>

## Sources
- [<Source display name>](<relative-path-to-source>) — <brief note>
See Also link format: Always use the dual format: [[slug|Display Name]] ([Display Name](slug.md)).
Sources path convention: Topic pages use ../../raw/repos/<file>.md or ../../raw/articles/<file>.md. When the source is a compiled topic page in the same directory, use just <slug>.md.
Tags: For co-contributor relationship, use relationship-co-contributor. For others, mirror the relationship value: relationship-chronicler, relationship-influenced-by-fuller, relationship-contemporary.

Important: These pages use the NEW co-contributor relationship type. Tags include relationship-co-contributor. The "Relationship to Fuller" section should explain that they contributed to a Gyorgy Kepes-edited anthology in which Fuller also wrote — connecting them through the shared intellectual milieu of art, science, and structure, without overstating a direct personal connection.

relationship: co-contributortags: [entity-person, relationship-co-contributor, about-buckminster-fuller, biography]sources: [../../raw/repos/structure-in-art-and-in-science.md]- Bio: 1-2 paragraphs about the person's primary field and significance.
## Relationship to Fuller: Relationship: co-contributor. Contributed<essay title>to Structure in Art and in Science (1965), the Gyorgy Kepes-edited anthology in which R. Buckminster Fuller contributed "Conceptuality of Fundamental Structures." Link to[[gyorgy-kepes|Gyorgy Kepes]]as the editor who brought them together in the same volume.## See Also: Link to[[gyorgy-kepes|Gyorgy Kepes]]and to co-authors where applicable (Alison ↔ Peter Smithson, Fumihiko Maki ↔ Masato Ohtaka).

Expected: all 35 files listed without error.
- Step 2: Verify frontmatter consistency
For each new file, check:
category: topicis presentrelationship:matches expected valuetags:includesentity-personandrelationship-<value>matching the relationship fieldsources:field points to existing files
for f in .wiki/wiki/topics/roberto-g-trujillo.md .wiki/wiki/topics/barry-m-katz.md .wiki/wiki/topics/jacob-bronowski.md .wiki/wiki/topics/dame-dc-doria-cordova.md .wiki/wiki/topics/max-bill.md; do
echo "=== $f ==="
head -15 "$f"
echo
done
Spot-check a sample of 5 pages covering all relationship types (chronicler, influenced-by-fuller, contemporary, co-contributor).
- Step 3: Verify registry entry count
grep -c '^\- \[' .wiki/wiki/references/fuller-people.md
Expected: 236 (201 existing + 35 new).
- Step 4: Verify no duplicate registry entries
grep '^\- \[' .wiki/wiki/references/fuller-people.md | sort | uniq -d
Expected: no output (no duplicates).
- Step 5: Verify alphabetical order in registry
grep '^\- \[' .wiki/wiki/references/fuller-people.md | sort -c -f
Expected: exit code 0 (already sorted).
- Step 6: Verify bidirectional links resolve
Spot-check that the See Also links in the updated anthology pages point to files that exist:
for slug in roberto-g-trujillo antoine-picon norman-cousins noel-b-murphy robert-pickus john-prenis taylor-littleton henry-l-kamphoefner; do
test -f ".wiki/wiki/topics/${slug}.md" && echo "OK: ${slug}" || echo "MISSING: ${slug}"
done
Expected: all OK.
- Step 7: Verify co-contributor vocabulary usage
grep -l 'relationship: co-contributor' .wiki/wiki/topics/*.md | wc -l
Expected: 15 (the Structure in Art and in Science contributors).
grep -l 'relationship-co-contributor' .wiki/wiki/topics/*.md | wc -l
Expected: 15 (same files, tag form).
- Step 8: Report results
Summarize verification results. If any checks fail, fix the issue before proceeding.
