 ICM is a framework for building structured, multi-stage AI workflows out of markdown files and folder conventions. Each workspace gives AI agents the right context at each stage of a task, and gives humans clear edit surfaces between stages.

 ICM grew out of a [content production system](https://github.com/RinDig/Content-Agent-Routing-Promptbase) that applies separation of concerns to AI context windows instead of code modules. That system runs a full content operation: scripting, animation specs, Remotion builds, brand management. ICM is the general-purpose version -- the structural patterns extracted so anyone can scaffold their own workflows.
