# Asset Pipeline Index
Centralized tracking for all production assets across pipelines. Each pipeline has its own index, palette (style bible), and per-category asset tables.
## Pipelines
| Pipeline | Index | Palette | Status |
|----------|-------|---------|--------|
| [Audio](audio/README.md) | [audio/README.md](audio/README.md) | [audio/palette.md](audio/palette.md) | Active — Sprint 7 |
| [Visual](visual/README.md) | [visual/README.md](visual/README.md) | [visual/palette.md](visual/palette.md) | Stub |
| [Video](video/README.md) | [video/README.md](video/README.md) | [video/palette.md](video/palette.md) | Stub |
## Structure
```
docs/assets/
README.md # This file — master index
_templates/
audio.md # Row template + detailed entry template for audio
sprite.md # Row template + detailed entry template for sprites
video.md # Row template + detailed entry template for video
audio/
README.md # Audio pipeline index — categories, status summary
palette.md # Sonic palette, aesthetic guide, generation approach
ambient.md # All ambient loops (station, planet, biome, weather)
sfx.md # All SFX (footsteps, doors, impacts, events)
ui.md # All UI sounds (cursor, chimes, insert-tech)
visual/
README.md # Visual pipeline index
palette.md # Art direction, "the angle", color relationships
sprites.md # Entities (NPCs, player, creatures)
furniture.md # Furniture items (hundreds, by location/type)
tilesets.md # Floor/wall tiles by biome/planet
icons.md # UI icons, status indicators
effects.md # Fog shaders, particles, overlays
video/
README.md # Video pipeline index
palette.md # Motion/editing style guide
trailers.md # Marketing / Steam page trailers
cutscenes.md # In-game narrative moments
```
## Conventions
- **One .md per category** — asset table with one row per asset, detailed entries below for complex items
- **palette.md** per pipeline — the style bible. Aesthetic baseline, theme, generation approach.
- **Status values:** `planned` | `in-progress` | `placeholder` | `final`
- **Templates:** `_templates/{type}.md` — row format + detailed entry format
- **Asset files** live in `client/assets/{type}/` — these docs track design and production metadata
- **Category splitting:** When a category file grows too long, split by domain (e.g., `furniture-station.md`, `furniture-colony.md`)
## Cross-References
