text

The root type. A markdown file with no frontmatter.

text represents a thought captured before it has enough shape to structure. The absence of frontmatter is the type — no type: text field is needed or possible.

Structural test

• File does not start with ---

Validation

Always valid. No checks apply.

Semantics

• Text has no implied maturity or verification state.
• When a text file gains frontmatter, conversion never adds user-verified; verification requires a later explicit human attestation.
• A text file that persists without structuring is a candidate for pruning.

Promotion

text → note: add frontmatter with at least a description field. Use /cp-skill-convert or do it manually.
