# Publications

This lane is the bridge between repo-native lab pages and external
publishing surfaces such as blog posts, essays, and social extensions.

## Purpose

- Keep external writing connected to core lab pages
- Track ownership and freshness of publication-linked content
- Make cross-posting an editorial extension instead of detached marketing

## Working rule

Every mature lab page can later point to a small set of external readings.
Those links should be driven by metadata rather than added ad hoc.

See [metadata-schema.mdx](./metadata-schema.mdx) for the current baseline fields.
