Workbench Raw

1. Purpose

This directory stores unprocessed source material.

Use it as the intake area for CCPE Forge.

Materials in this directory are not yet canonical.

They may include:

Old prompts
Old CCPE 2.0 agents
Custom GPT / Gem instructions
Agent drafts
Skill drafts
Runtime drafts
Long-form essays
Article drafts
Notes
Model descriptions
Conversation exports
Committee workflow descriptions

2. Typical Use

Place raw material here before asking CCPE Forge to process it.

Examples:

workbench/raw/cognitive-imaging-specialist-v1.1.md
workbench/raw/zhangliao-red-team-old.md
workbench/raw/modeling-committee-notes.md
workbench/raw/article-cognitive-prism.md

3. Processing Modes

Raw files may be processed with:

Creator Mode
Auditor Mode
Refactor Mode
Model Mining Mode

Use:

Auditor Mode

for existing prompts, agents, skills, or workflows.

Use:

Model Mining Mode

for articles, essays, and model-heavy notes.

Use:

Creator Mode

when a raw file is a creation brief or new artifact request.

Use:

Refactor Mode

only after an audit or classification pass.

4. Raw File Rules

Raw files should not be edited destructively.

Preserve original versions.

If a file must be cleaned or normalized, create a processed copy in:

workbench/analysis/

or:

workbench/upgraded/

Do not overwrite the original raw file unless explicitly instructed.

5. Suggested Metadata

When possible, add a short header to raw files:

---
source_type:
author:
created:
uploaded:
status: raw
intended_processing:
notes:
---

Possible source_type values:

old-agent
old-prompt
article
essay
note
workflow
skill-draft
runtime-draft
conversation-export
model-description

Possible intended_processing values:

audit
refactor
model-mining
creation
classification

6. Naming Convention

Use lowercase kebab-case.

Recommended patterns:

{name}-old.md
{name}-v1.md
{name}-source.md
{article-title}.md
{agent-name}-raw.md

Examples:

cognitive-imaging-specialist-v1-1.md
zhangliao-red-team-old.md
giant-cognition-source-essay.md
review-committee-raw-workflow.md

7. Promotion Path

Raw material usually flows like this:

workbench/raw/
→ workbench/analysis/
→ workbench/upgraded/
→ canonical directory

Canonical directories include:

agents/
skills/
runtimes/
model-cards/
model-index/

8. Do Not Store Here

Do not store finalized canonical artifacts here.

Do not store files that should already live in:

agents/
skills/
runtimes/
model-cards/
model-index/

This directory is for intake, not long-term organization.

9. Final Rule

Treat this directory as the darkroom entry tray.

Everything here is raw material awaiting classification, extraction, audit, or transformation.
