The Apprentice Folder ("workshop kit") is the working procedure of the project Knot Structures, packed as a folder to take away: a boot order, a working diary, two growing knowledge files (numbered lessons, an error log), a map, four shell gates and a closing routine, for an AI tool started inside an existing environment. Its one load-bearing rule: at first the AI only observes and writes, it changes nothing; a measuring script, not a calendar, decides when that phase ends. The rule is a recommendation, not a lock.
Evidence status: nine trial runs (August to 5 November 2026), all in our own environment with one AI tool (Claude Code); nobody outside our workshop has used it yet. Linux is the only platform it has run on. The archive holds 25 entries (Markdown files, four bash scripts, an example day); it contains no knot data. The same zip is served on the project site with its sha256; this deposit gives it a DOI and a hash that does not move.
Licence CC BY 4.0. Authorship: Werner Alois Stanggassinger, in collaboration with Claude Code (Anthropic); the procedure was built and run by that collaboration, and the trial runs were made by fresh instances of the same tool.
