{Workspace name}

{One sentence: what this workspace is and what leaves it.}

Built on ICM: folders carry sequencing, hierarchy carries context, files carry state. The structure is the documentation — if something needs explaining, the explanation goes in that folder's CONTEXT.md, not in your head.

Where things live

Folder	What it holds
stages/	the pipeline, in execution order
_shared/	factory: rules and reference that never change per run
_templates/	blank starters — new work is a copy, not a blank page
setup/	one-time factory configuration

Route by what just happened

If	Go to	Then stop at
starting a new run	stages/01_.../CONTEXT.md	human reads the output
{previous stage} output approved	next numbered stage	human reads the output
asked for status	scan stages/*/output/	report what exists
setting up for a new user	setup/questionnaire.md	answers written to _shared/

The one rule

Nothing moves to the next stage until a person has read the output of the last one.
