## How Cowork Uses This Structure

### When you mount `/victor-second-brain`:

1. **Cowork reads `/00_canon/skills/`** to load your custom Skills
2. **Your Personal DNA Skill** becomes the identity layer for all operations
3. **MetaPlaybooks** in `/10_metafactories/` define HOW work gets done
4. **Factories** in `/20_factories/` are where actual production happens
5. **Assets** ship to `/30_assets/` with full registry tracking
6. **QA validators** in `/40_qa/` prevent drift

### Cowork Prompt Pattern

```
Using my Personal DNA skill and the [relevant] MetaPlaybook,
[task description].
Save outputs to /30_assets/[category]/ and log to /40_qa/logs/RUNLOG.md
```

---

## Quick Start Commands for Cowork

### Initialize a new project:
```
Read my Personal DNA from /00_canon/identity/SKILL_PERSONAL_DNA.md.
Then create a new [book/playbook/report] project in /20_factories/F-VICTOR-PUBLISHING/active/
following the MetaPlaybook in /10_metafactories/MF-PUBLISHING/template/
```

### Process inbox:
```
Review everything in /50_inbox/to_process/.
Using my Personal DNA as the filter, route items to the correct location
or flag for my review. Log all moves to /40_qa/logs/RUNLOG.md
```

### Run QA check:
```
Using the QA validators in /40_qa/validators/,
check [asset/folder] for drift, missing sources, or naming violations.
Report findings and suggested fixes.
```

---

## Governance Rules (Non-Negotiables)

1. **Never edit files in `/00_canon/` without explicit instruction** — this is frozen truth
2. **All outputs must have**: Asset ID, version, status, owner, purpose
3. **New terms must be added to GLOSSARY.md** before use
4. **Version folders**: `/v0.x/` = draft, `/v1.0/` = validated, `/v1.x/` = iterative
5. **Nothing ships without QA gate passage**

---

## Next: Deploy the Skills

After creating this folder structure:
1. Copy `SKILL_PERSONAL_DNA.md` to `/00_canon/skills/`
2. Mount `/victor-second-brain` in Cowork
3. Test with: "Read my Personal DNA skill and tell me your purpose"
