# Proof Artifacts

This document is the canonical index of Scriven's proof layer. It points to concrete artifacts a prospective user can inspect when asking whether Scriven's claims are earned by the repo.

## Start Here

- Read the **Watchmaker Sample Flow** if you want one end-to-end writing workflow from setup through drafts, review, and next step.
- Read **Voice DNA** if you want the shortest possible proof of how style guidance changes output on the same brief.
- Read **Creative Context** if you want to see one craft choice travel through discuss, plan, draft, and review artifacts.

## Watchmaker Sample Flow

**What it proves:** Scriven ships one credible writing workflow from setup context through drafted outcome, review evidence, and next-step continuity.

**Canonical artifact:** [data/proof/watchmaker-flow/README.md](../data/proof/watchmaker-flow/README.md)

**Underlying shipped files:**

- [data/demo/.manuscript/WORK.md](../data/demo/.manuscript/WORK.md)
- [data/demo/.manuscript/OUTLINE.md](../data/demo/.manuscript/OUTLINE.md)
- [data/demo/.manuscript/STATE.md](../data/demo/.manuscript/STATE.md)
- [data/demo/.manuscript/STYLE-GUIDE.md](../data/demo/.manuscript/STYLE-GUIDE.md)

Start with the proof bundle if you want the curated version. Follow the underlying files if you want to inspect the raw sample directly.

## Voice DNA

**What it proves:** Scriven's style-guide layer changes draft behavior in visible ways when the same brief is written unguided versus guided.

**Canonical artifact:** [data/proof/voice-dna/README.md](../data/proof/voice-dna/README.md)

**Artifact bundle:**

- [data/proof/voice-dna/STYLE-GUIDE-EXCERPT.md](../data/proof/voice-dna/STYLE-GUIDE-EXCERPT.md)
- [data/proof/voice-dna/UNGUIDED-SAMPLE.md](../data/proof/voice-dna/UNGUIDED-SAMPLE.md)
- [data/proof/voice-dna/GUIDED-SAMPLE.md](../data/proof/voice-dna/GUIDED-SAMPLE.md)

Read the bundle in order if you want to inspect sentence rhythm, metaphor selection, dialogue restraint, and physical grounding at the same time.

## Creative Context

**What it proves:** Scriven can preserve craft choices, character behavior, and subject movement across the core writing loop without adding labels to manuscript prose.

**Canonical artifact:** [data/proof/creative-context/README.md](../data/proof/creative-context/README.md)
