+# CMW Example Files
+
+This directory contains example Conceptual Message Wrapper (CMW) files for testing and development purposes with RATSD.
+
+## File Overview
+
+- **`basic-mock-tsm.json`** - Simple mock TSM attester example with minimal required fields
+- **`mock-tsm-with-privilege.json`** - Mock TSM attester with privilege level specified
+- **`tsm-report-basic.json`** - Basic TSM report attester example
+- **`multi-attester.json`** - Example showing both mock-tsm and tsm-report attesters in one CMW
+- **`tsm-cbor-format.json`** - TSM report using CBOR content type instead of JSON
+
+## CMW Structure
+
+All CMW files follow this basic structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "__cmwc_t": "tag:github.com,2025:veraison/ratsd/cmw",
+  "<attester-name>": [
+    "<content-type>",
+    <evidence-data>
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Available Attesters
+
+### mock-tsm
+- **Content Type**: `application/vnd.veraison.configfs-tsm+json`
+- **Required Fields**: `auxblob`, `outblob`
+- **Optional Fields**: `provider`, `privilege_level` (0-3)
+
+### tsm-report  
+- **Content Types**: 
+  - `application/vnd.veraison.configfs-tsm+json` (JSON format)
+  - `application/vnd.veraison.configfs-tsm+cbor` (CBOR format)
+- **Required Fields**: `auxblob`, `outblob`
+- **Optional Fields**: `provider`, `privilege_level` (0-3)
+
+## Usage with RATSD
+
+These files can be used for testing RATSD in mock mode or as reference for understanding the expected CMW format.
+
+### Testing with curl
+
+```bash
+# Basic query (returns all available attesters)
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8895/ratsd/chares \
+  -H "Content-type: application/vnd.veraison.chares+json" \
+  -d '{"nonce": "TUlEQk5IMjhpaW9pc2pQeXh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHhNSURCTkgyOGlpb2lzalB5eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eA"}'
+
+# Query with specific attester selection
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8895/ratsd/chares \
+  -H "Content-type: application/vnd.veraison.chares+json" \
+  -d '{
+    "nonce": "TUlEQk5IMjhpaW9pc2pQeXh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHhNSURCTkgyOGlpb2lzalB5eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eHh4eA",
+    "attester-selection": {
+      "mock-tsm": {
+        "privilege_level": "3"
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- All `auxblob` and `outblob` values are base64-encoded
+- The examples use fake/placeholder data for demonstration purposes
+- For CBOR format, the evidence data itself is base64-encoded CBOR
+- Privilege levels range from 0 (lowest) to 3 (highest)
