+# Writing Workbench
+
+Writing Workbench is the production workspace for deep article creation and human-facing model writing.
+
+It is not the long-term knowledge archive and it is not the CCPE asset factory.
+
+## Position
+
+```text
+Knowledge Vault      = source archive, formal essays, human model documents, historical discussions
+Writing Workbench    = active article production site and process record
+CCPE System          = AI cognitive asset engineering workspace
+Delivery Systems     = deployable external agentic products
+Video Workbench      = dimensional video output workspace, planned separately
+```
+
+## Mission
+
+This workspace manages articles after the user has decided that an idea should enter production.
+
+It preserves both final outputs and process records:
+
+- creation plan
+- source map
+- context packs
+- writer sessions
+- outline versions
+- review sessions and reports
+- synthesis and repair requests
+- draft chapters
+- revised drafts
+- appendix drafts
+- metadata generation
+- human-facing model writing
+- publish-ready final article
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- New ideas and daily captures stay in `knowledge-vault/diary`.
+- Viewpoint exploration and non-article discussions stay in `knowledge-vault/discussions`.
+- Formal published essays are archived in `knowledge-vault/sayings`.
+- Human-facing model documents are archived in `knowledge-vault/rules`.
+- AI-facing Model Cards, Agent Specs, Skills, and Runtimes are maintained in `ccpe-system`.
+- Writing Workbench consumes CCPE assets but does not redefine them.
+
+## Starting A New Session
+
+In a new Codex session opened on this project, use:
+
+```md
+Please read README.md, WORKBENCH.md, and docs/context-handoff.md first, then continue work on Writing Workbench according to those conventions.
+```
