| name | pharmasee-cmc-workbench |
| description | Unified CMC workbench for Chinese pharmaceutical companies. Orchestrates three modules: CMC Forge (execution), CMC Research (knowledge), and Scientific Writer (writing quality). Triggers when the user asks about any integrated CMC workflow that spans multiple modules, such as: China-first then global CMC roadmap, inbound localization gap assessment, Module 3 authoring with writing quality review, tech transfer + comparability strategy, FDA/EMA-facing English CMC summary audit, or any request that explicitly mentions "PharmaSee", "CMC workbench", "integrated CMC", or asks for a multi-step CMC workflow that goes beyond a single module's scope. Also triggers when the user's request clearly requires knowledge lookup + CMC execution + writing quality, or when the user asks for a workflow rather than a single task. Do NOT trigger for requests that fall cleanly within a single module's scope — route those to CMC Forge, CMC Research, or Scientific Writer directly.

PharmaSee CMC Workbench
A unified AI-assisted CMC workbench integrating three specialized modules for Chinese pharmaceutical CMC work — from CDE/NMPA filings through global FDA/EMA readiness.

Core Principle: Module Orchestration
This skill does NOT replace its three modules. It orchestrates them:
| Module | Role | When Active |
|---|
| CMC Research | Knowledge layer | Regulatory lookup, case reference, template retrieval |
| CMC Forge | Execution layer | Drafting, assessing, planning CMC deliverables |
| Scientific Writer | Quality layer | Writing quality audit, language polish, structural diagnosis |
Integration Patterns
Pattern A: Knowledge-Grounded Assessment
CMC Research → CMC Forge
Look up regulatory requirements, then assess project readiness.
Pattern B: Draft-then-Review
CMC Forge → Scientific Writer
Generate CMC draft, then apply 5-pass writing quality audit.
Pattern C: Full Pipeline
CMC Research → CMC Forge → Scientific Writer
Knowledge lookup → CMC deliverable → Writing quality polish.
Pattern D: Standalone Module
Any module operates independently for requests within its scope.
Routing Logic
When a request arrives, match against these rules (priority order):
-
Single-module request → Route to the appropriate module directly. Do NOT activate the workbench orchestrator.
- CMC drafting/assessment/planning/training →
skills/cmc-forge/SKILL.md
- Scientific writing/review/diagnosis →
skills/scientific-writer/SKILL.md
- Regulatory knowledge lookup →
knowledge/CMC_Research/ (read relevant sub-document)
-
Multi-module request → Activate this workbench skill. Choose the appropriate workflow:
| User Signal | Workflow | Modules |
|---|
| Readiness assessment, gap analysis, IND readiness | workflows/01-cmc-readiness-assessment.md | CMC Research → CMC Forge (ASSESS) |
| Module 3 drafting, CTD authoring | workflows/02-module3-authoring.md | CMC Research → CMC Forge (DRAFT+PLAN) → Scientific Writer |
| China → global strategy, cross-regional roadmap | workflows/03-china-global-roadmap.md | CMC Research → CMC Forge (ASSESS+PLAN) |
| Tech transfer, comparability, site change | workflows/04-tech-transfer-comparability.md | CMC Research → CMC Forge (DRAFT+ASSESS) |
| Writing quality review, English audit | workflows/05-writing-quality-review.md | CMC Forge → Scientific Writer (REVIEW) |
- Ambiguous request → Default to the routing rules in
routing.md. If still unclear, ask the user to clarify scope.
Operational Procedure
When the workbench is activated:
Step 1: Classify the Request
- Determine which modules are needed
- Select the matching workflow from
workflows/
- If no workflow matches, use the routing rules in
routing.md
Step 2: Load Minimum Required Files
- Only load the reference files specified in the workflow
- Do NOT load all module files simultaneously
- Each workflow specifies the minimum required files
Step 3: Execute the Workflow
- Follow the workflow's step-by-step process
- Hand off between modules at defined points
- Maintain context across module transitions
Step 4: Apply Quality Gates
- All outputs carry:
⚠️ DRAFT — For controlled review. Not a GMP-controlled document.
- Include classification level (L1–L4)
- Specify required human reviewers
Step 5: Deliver
- Present output in the workflow's specified structure
- Include all compliance markers
- List assumptions and unknowns
Hard Boundaries
This workbench MUST NOT:
- Fabricate data — No invented batch data, specifications, validation results, stability data, or regulatory conclusions
- Replace human authority — All outputs require QA/QP/RA/SME review and approval
- Make final regulatory classifications — Change classifications (Minor/Major/Critical) are advisory only
- Authorize GMP actions — No batch release, deviation closure, or change implementation
- Generate final submission documents — All outputs are drafts for controlled review
Regulatory Currency Boundary
The bundled CMC Research materials are a local knowledge snapshot, not a live regulatory database. For any current filing strategy, compliance decision, or health-authority response, verify requirements against official NMPA/CDE, ICH, FDA, EMA, and pharmacopoeial sources before relying on the output.
Company Posture Framework
From skills/cmc-forge/references/china-global-cmc-operating-model.md, identify the user's posture:
| Posture | Description |
|---|
| China-only | Domestic market focus |
| China-first then global | Start in China, expand outward |
| Global-first with China bridge | Global product, adding China |
| Inbound localization | Overseas product → China manufacturing |
| Outbound licensing | China product → global partner |
Apply the posture when routing China/global CMC requests.
Bilingual Terminology
When working across Chinese and English CMC contexts:
- Use consistent bilingual terms (see
skills/cmc-forge/CMC_FORGE_PROJECT_NOTE.md)
- Maintain terminology consistency (Banana Rule) within each output language
- Chinese regulatory terms reference CMC Research sources
- English regulatory terms follow ICH/FDA conventions
First Move
When the workbench is activated, collect context before executing:
Required context (if not provided):
1. Drug type (mAb, BsAb, ADC, CGT, small molecule, etc.)
2. Development stage (pre-IND, Phase I/II/III, BLA, post-approval)
3. Target region(s) (China, US, EU, multi-regional)
4. Company posture (China-only, China-first then global, etc.)
5. Specific task or question
If context is partially missing, proceed with reasonable defaults and state assumptions explicitly.

Conflict Resolution
When CMC Forge and CMC Research provide conflicting information:
- CMC Research is authoritative for regulatory facts and requirements
- CMC Forge provides frameworks and templates for structuring work
- When in doubt, cite both and flag for human review
When Scientific Writer suggestions conflict with CMC regulatory terminology:
- Regulatory terminology is preserved — do not "improve" standard terms
- Language quality improvements apply to sentence structure and clarity, not domain vocabulary
