domain

Repository guidance for using domain documentation during software work. It explains which documents define the project's terms, behavior, and design decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for architecture, diagnosis, test-driven development (TDD), issue writing, and product-requirements work in this repository.
Why use it?
It prevents coding or planning with the wrong meaning of project concepts. It also helps identify disagreements between documents before changing behavior.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/npatten/Clew
Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 301 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

domain scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Domain Docs

How engineering skills should consume this repo's domain documentation.

Layout

This is a single-context repo.

Before architecture, diagnosis, TDD, issue-writing, or PRD work, read:

  1. CONTEXT.md — compact domain vocabulary for Clew.
  2. clew-spec.md — full living design source and authoritative product semantics.
  3. docs/adr/ — architectural decision records, if this directory exists.

If ADRs do not exist, proceed silently. Do not suggest creating ADRs upfront unless a durable architectural decision has actually been made.

Source of truth

  • CONTEXT.md defines preferred vocabulary and terms to avoid.
  • clew-spec.md remains authoritative for detailed behavior, data model, workflow, and open questions.
  • If CONTEXT.md and clew-spec.md disagree, treat it as drift: flag it and ask before making a semantic change.

Use the glossary vocabulary

When output names a domain concept, use the terms from CONTEXT.md.

Examples:

  • Say Increment, not issue or ticket.
  • Say Task, not sub-issue.
  • Say Path, not roadmap.
  • Say Archive, not closed issues.
  • Say Tag, not label, when referring to Clew frontmatter tags.

Multi-context repos

This repo is not multi-context. Do not look for CONTEXT-MAP.md unless the repository layout changes later.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

domain is an agent published in the GitHub repository npatten/Clew (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 301 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
