CRAFT for Cowork v0.b0326a1 — First Beta Release

Date: March 26, 2026

What is CRAFT?

CRAFT (Configurable Reusable AI Framework Technology) is a structured system for powerful, context-aware AI interactions within Cowork. It combines a formal framework specification with practical recipe collections that help you manage complex AI workflows, maintain session continuity, and build repeatable automation across projects. CRAFT adapts object-oriented programming principles to AI communication, enabling deeper and more intuitive collaboration.

What's Included

This release ships everything needed to get started with CRAFT:

  • Framework Specification — Complete CRAFT syntax, object model, and core protocols
  • 4 Active Cookbooks — 97 public recipes across Core (22), Cowork (36), Studio (23), and Brand Identity (16)
  • Project Templates — Starter files for new projects, chat history, and universal lessons
  • Brand Identity Resources — Brand configuration and guidelines for extending CRAFT
  • Production CLAUDE.md — Pre-configured starter file for Cowork integration
  • Recipe Index — Cross-referenced guide to all 97 public recipes with descriptions and usage patterns

Key Features

Session Management — Maintain AI context across multiple conversations with structured handoff protocols and session continuity mechanisms.

Multi-Persona Support — Route tasks to specialized AI personas (Auguste for content, Fernand for validation, etc.) with automatic skill-based dispatching.

Content Production Pipelines — Streamlined workflows for creating formatted recipes, blog posts, social media campaigns, and structured content.

Brand Identity System — Unified branding controls, logo management, and consistent visual/messaging identity across outputs.

Quality Assurance & Validation — Built-in recipe integrity checking, factual claim validation, cross-session consistency verification, and QA gates.

Cross-Project Knowledge Transfer — Package and transfer accumulated knowledge between projects with verification gates and relevance scoring.

Getting Started

  1. Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/CRAFTFramework/craft-framework.git
cd craft-framework

  2. Open in Cowork

    • Launch Claude Cowork
    • Open the cloned folder as your workspace

  3. Load the project

    • Open CLAUDE.md to initialize the CRAFT environment
    • Run RCP-CWK-001 (Cowork Session Initialization) to set up your first session

See INSTALL.md for detailed Cowork integration instructions.

Known Limitations

Beta Status — This is the first public release. Expect iterative improvements, API refinements, and occasional breaking changes as we stabilize the framework based on community feedback.

Framework Under Development — Core protocols and recipe structures are finalized but may evolve. Always check the CHANGELOG for migration guidance when updating versions.

Not Included in Beta — Internal administration recipes (CWK-ADM bundle) and advanced versioning tools are reserved for subscriber access post-Beta. The public release includes all foundational capabilities needed to build with CRAFT.

What's Next

Post-Beta (Months 4-6) — The current public version will be frozen. Latest features and recipes will move to CRAFTFramework.ai for subscriber access, funding continued development.

Growth Phase (Months 7-12) — Expect expanded content, community plugins, and subscriber-exclusive advanced recipes.

Community — Report issues and request features via CRAFTFramework.ai (not GitHub Issues). We prioritize feedback from the community.
