Does it still retain its value when it’s this dry and almost chalky? The compost is half paper towels and half food waste across the whole spectrum.
Edit: I should also add that it does smell incredibly earthy.

Riddle and hydrate it. It does look like you might find a human bone in it.
Mix it with an active pile and let it come back to life.
Enjoy your Matcha Tea

It has very little value as is. You said you don’t have a pile started to mix in. I would start a new pile.
If it were me, I’d just use that as a compost bin or get a better one, and then build on what you’ve got. Needs moisture and of course more carbon and nitrogen.
You mentioned bag soil but if anything get bagged compost, it’s never truly complete especially the cheap bags so it can add some food for microbes.
That looks like dirt lol She needs some water and time to bring back the microbial life in it. Put some greens, food scraps, and a little bit of shredded/cut up cardboard on top too. It’ll be back in a few weeks
