ACES Scenario Workbench

A collaborative review surface for ACES scenario packs. It turns validated pack content into an addressable, database-backed workspace where authors, reviewers, and stakeholders inspect scenario objects, discuss them, and record review decisions.

ACES packs remain the authoritative source of scenario content. The workbench ingests immutable, versioned review bundles produced from packs; users, comments, decisions, and review state live in the workbench database. The workbench never writes changes back into a pack.

Where to start

  • Prerequisites — what you need in place before you install, for local use, a self-hosted team instance, or public internet hosting. Check this first so nothing blocks you halfway through.
  • Setup — install to a working, multi-user workspace.
  • Access & registration — the invite-only account model and scenario roles.
  • Deployment — container, configuration, and hosting.
  • Go-live checklist — the final checks before you expose an instance to the internet.

Run the readiness check anytime

Whatever stage you are at, aces-workbench doctor reports what is configured and what still needs attention (database, secret key, email, HTTPS, allowed hosts, and more), so you can see gaps up front instead of discovering them later.
