# 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.
```

## Operating A Project

Use `docs/operating-playbook.md` for the practical project workflow:

- when to start a project
- how to create a project folder
- which files must be filled first
- how to manage context packs, sessions, review rounds, and indexes
- how to keep CCPE System as the canonical asset source
