🌌 The Cosmos

"Aguidetocloud is Earth — soft, patient, giving, hope. The new projects are other planets, stars, nebulae — each with its own unique identity, character, fun, series, easy. The only universal rule is quality, value, usability." — Susanth Sutheesh, 4 May 2026

This section is the map of the universe — every planet, moon, and star, with a short overview and a pointer to its deep playbook.

The 7 worlds

World Type What it is Domain Overview
🌍 Earth Home planet A Guide to Cloud — the warm, patient origin world. Free cloud + AI guides for IT pros: tools, certs, blog, videos, mind maps, Zen design system. aguidetocloud.com Earth →
🌑 Moon (Guided) Earth's moon The paid moon — practice exams that don't gatekeep. $9 per cert (not $79), free study guides forever. Integrated into Earth, distinct identity. aguidetocloud.com/guided/ Guided →
🪐 CMD (formerly Brain Bar) Planet Microsoft jargon AND error code decoder. Type any acronym, license, portal, error code — get a plain-English explainer. Terminal atmosphere. cmd.aguidetocloud.com CMD →
🪐 Shift Planet The AI job-change wire — how AI is changing 35 real jobs, role by role. Newspaper atmosphere — paper, ticker, Three Dials role pages. shift.aguidetocloud.com Shift →
🪐 Plain AI (formerly working name "AI for Grandma") Planet AI explained plainly, for everyone. Dark-default. 78 topics, 4 reading paths, gradient-mesh covers. plainai.aguidetocloud.com Plain AI →
🪐 Agentic Planet (standalone physics) MCP reviews, recipes, vendor takes — for techies building with agents. Dark cockpit aesthetic. agents.aguidetocloud.com Agentic →
🪐 Claw Planet (standalone physics) Plain-English study reference for OpenClaw. Light/dark, OpenClaw red, Bracket Mark logo. claw.aguidetocloud.com Claw →
⭐ MCP Move Star Invisible. MCP server exposing CMD (and future planets) to Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor. mcp.aguidetocloud.com/mcp (lives inside CMD's docs)

Standalone planets vs cosmos-bound planets

Two of the planets — Agentic and Claw — explicitly carve out their own physics: own visual system, own IA, own typography, own brand colour. They do not participate in the masthead 4-icon planet rail rendering yet (Phase 4 work). Per Sush's standing decision: "each planet is its own thing with its own visual system and own brand profile."

🆕 Update 8 May 2026 — universal manifest rule. Even though Agentic and Claw maintain their own visual atmosphere, all planets now participate in planets.toml — including Agentic, Claw, and Guided (the moon). Sush's lock: "yes and for guided and any new planets too." This means the cosmos-bound planets render the full 7-planet rail (Earth, Guided, CMD, Shift, Plain AI, Agentic, Claw); Agentic and Claw don't render the rail back yet. Manifest participation ≠ visual conformity.

What every planet shares with the cosmos family:

  • The belief language — no gatekeeping, plain English, honest take, no marketing voice (see Voice & Tone)
  • Manifest participation — every planet has an entry in planets.toml and 4 JSON mirrors (data-shaped only — slug, name, url, tagline)
  • The deploy pattern — Cloudflare Pages + custom domain
  • The CI guardrails — voice-lint, integrity-check, smoke-check
  • The Microsoft disclosure — every Microsoft page on every planet says "Sush works at Microsoft. The take here is independent — not Microsoft's official position."

What stays per-planet (the autonomy):

  • Visual atmosphere — fonts, colours, mascots, layout, animation, density (CMD terminal · Shift newspaper · Plain AI dark-default reading site · Agentic cockpit · Claw study reference)
  • Voice register — terminal-blunt for CMD, plain-English-explainer for Plain AI, newspaper for Shift, etc.
  • Tech stack — Hugo, Astro, anything that fits
  • Internal IA and content patterns

What is NOT in the cosmos

Common confusions that have surfaced before. None of these are planets:

  • Cloud Café — Copilot Studio demo file (cloud-cafe/AGENTS.md), not a published product
  • AI for Grandma — the working name that became Plain AI (the live planet)
  • OpenClaw (the project) — open-source agent project; Claw Planet is the doc site that teaches OpenClaw, the two are not the same thing
  • Brain Bar (the brand) — old name; CMD is the current brand for cmd.aguidetocloud.com

For the full disambiguation, see the Cosmos Audit.

The doc structure standard

Every planet follows this layout. New planet docs MUST conform:

docs/
├── cosmos/<slug>/
│   ├── index.md       # Overview — first-encounter doc, "what is it in one screen"
│   └── status.md      # (optional) current production state, pending steps
└── reference/
    └── <slug>-playbook.md   # Deep operational doc — extend / audit / deploy / voice / gotchas

The overview is for first-encounter humans + future agents. The playbook is for the next session that has to work on it without breaking it.
