# Workflow: CREATE (Study Creation)

_Last updated: 2026-01-29 (Mario)_

## Goal
Create a new study via the **Create Wizard**:

Files → Introspection → Context → Draft → Interview → Validate → Publish

## Source of truth
- Draft spec (local): browser storage
- Published spec: `atomizer_spec.json`

## Outputs required (DoD)
- `atomizer_spec.json` (published)
- `README.md` (auto-generated)
- Study folder structure created

## Key rules
- Don’t ask user for info we can introspect.
- Ask only gap questions.
- Canvas is validation (gimmick), not the authoring source.
