Project Brief

1. Product Context

This repository is the MVP foundation for The Mindscape of Bro Tsong.

The current phase is the cognitive model management subsystem MVP, also called model_library_mvp.

It supports a future problem-answering / cognitive-processing system that will use selected cognitive models to analyze user inputs.

2. First User

The first user is the project owner.

This is an OPC-oriented product workflow.

The system should reduce the burden of managing, testing, and reusing cognitive models as a one-person company.

3. Core Need

The project solves a model asset management problem:

  • Existing cognitive models are scattered across articles and previous model indexes.
  • Model cards need stronger source traceability.
  • Some early models require regression testing and stabilization.
  • The future question-answering system needs callable model specifications.
  • Model and card indexes need script-backed synchronization so the library does not drift into scattered files.

4. MVP Focus

The MVP focuses on two models:

  • QPI
  • Intellectual Archaeology

These two models are used to validate the model extraction protocol.

The current index maintenance rule is documented in docs/INDEX_MAINTENANCE_PROTOCOL.md: every asset change synchronizes models/model_index.json and cards/card_index.md, while handoff and release points require a full rebuild or check.

5. Long-Term Direction

Future versions may support:

  • 8-10 core models
  • 20 extended models
  • Model selector
  • Multi-lens analysis workflow
  • Conflict summarization
  • Integrated question-answering system
  • Source article integration
  • Model regression dashboard

These are not part of v0.1 unless explicitly requested.

6. Project Ecosystem

This repository is separate from but related to:

  • knowledge-vault: upstream source archive and discussion records.
  • ccpe-system: expert-agent and runtime specification workspace.
  • skills-vault: canonical source for reusable automation skills.
  • writing-workbench: deep writing production workspace.
  • video-workbench: dimensional output workspace.

This project may reference artifacts from those repositories, but its own boundary is the model asset foundation for The Mindscape of Bro Tsong.

7. Local CCRA First Review

The project may use Local CCRA review as a file-first first-pass review loop before Web CCRA review.

First-version constraints:

  • Local CCRA serves only this project.
  • Local CCRA review runs are stored under local_ccra_reviews/.
  • The reviewer runs through CCPE Agent Runtime in a real child review session.
  • Formal local review normally uses the same-child review_turn plus planning_turn pattern.
  • v0.1.2 requires explicit helper/runtime policies for bundle audit profile, gate execution mode, routing diff policy, and lifecycle scan scope.
  • Local CCRA output is formal local first review, but it does not replace Owner or Web CCRA judgment.
  • The ccra-local-reviewer Agent Spec and Runtime protocol belong in ccpe-system.
