CORE Cookbook

Comprehensive catalog of all CRAFT recipes with explanations of why each exists, their role in the framework, when to use them, and example executions. Provides three output formats (detailed catalog, compact list, single recipe deep dive) with filtering options by category or specific recipe ID.

The CRAFT Project File Generator is an interactive recipe that creates complete, validated project files through comprehensive discovery conversations and intelligent template processing. It asks 9 areas of discovery questions about your project (identity, purpose, audience, scope, technical specs, team, metrics, workflows, knowledge gaps), then generates two properly structured files – Project Implementation and Conversation Continuity – with all markers replaced, configurations set, and foundations ready for immediate CRAFT work.

The CRAFT Persona Manager enables dynamic AI personality adaptation by analyzing task context, evaluating persona fit, proposing optimal switches with clear explanations, obtaining explicit user consent, performing calibration questions, and activating specialized personas (Creative Writing Coach, Code Mentor, Data Analyst, etc.) – transforming communication style to perfectly match each task type while maintaining session continuity and transparency through comprehensive logging.

The intelligent recipe orchestrator that monitors all CRAFT activities, suggests relevant recipes, tracks token usage, and ensures smooth workflow automation. COM acts as your AI assistant’s project manager, watching for opportunities to enhance productivity through recipe execution.

The CRAFT Brainstormer is a structured ideation engine that generates and evaluates framework enhancement ideas aligned with core philosophical principles. It channels creativity toward solving real problems while maintaining technical elegance, providing scored proposals with implementation pathways, feasibility assessments, and philosophical alignment analysis for strategic framework evolution.

Establishes clear confidence levels for AI responses, ensuring transparency about certainty versus speculation. This recipe helps users understand when the AI is drawing from reliable knowledge versus making educated guesses, promoting trust and appropriate decision-making.

Maintains real-time visual progress displays for multi-step workflows with automatic completion pattern detection, natural language status queries, and blocker identification. Provides persistent workflow state awareness that prevents abandonment and integrates seamlessly with handoff systems for session continuity.

This recipe creates comprehensive handoffs between AI chat sessions, ensuring smooth transitions with human confirmation for next steps and unresolved questions. This recipe maintains project continuity when switching between different AI sessions or reaching token limits.

Transparent disclosure of AI capabilities and constraints, ensuring users understand what the AI can and cannot do. This recipe promotes honest communication about knowledge boundaries, potential errors, and areas where human expertise is essential.
