entroly: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

entroly CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from juyterman1000/entroly. It costs 3,914 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for AI agents working on Entroly, an auditable system for controlling the context given to agents. They define its workflow and trust requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning and implementing Entroly changes, checking receipts and reversible compression, testing affected areas, and preserving rollback and release checks.
Why use it?
They give agents a repeatable process for clarifying, planning, building, reviewing, testing, shipping, and recording changes without weakening auditability or verification.

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

entroly CLAUDE.md 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 14d ago.

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.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Gstack Operating Protocol

Use a gstack-style workflow for non-trivial Entroly work: Think -> Plan -> Build -> Review -> Test -> Ship -> Reflect.

Entroly is an auditable context-control plane for AI agents, not a normal utility library. Every change must preserve trust: receipts must remain explainable, compression must remain reversible, verification must fail closed, and release automation must stay boring.

Default workflow

  1. Clarify the smallest useful user outcome before writing code.
  2. Challenge the product claim: what is the real wedge, what can be cut, and what evidence would prove it?
  3. Lock architecture before implementation: data flow, state transitions, failure modes, and test matrix.
  4. Implement the smallest safe change.
  5. Review for production bugs, trust regressions, packaging breakage, and overclaims.
  6. Run targeted tests first, then expand to release tests if packaging/native surfaces changed.
  7. Ship with a rollback path and exact verification commands.
  8. Record any fragile release or test behavior so the next agent does not repeat it.

If gstack skills are installed, prefer this sequence:

/office-hours -> /plan-ceo-review -> /plan-eng-review -> implement -> /review -> /qa or targeted tests -> /ship -> /retro

If gstack is not installed, follow the same workflow manually.

Entroly trust invariants

Do not merge a change that weakens these invariants:

  • Receipt honesty: selected context, omitted evidence, risks, hashes, and token ratios must be inspectable.
  • Reversibility: compressed or summarized context must remain traceable back to source spans.
  • Fail-closed verification: WITNESS, RAVS, and native-status checks must degrade safely, not silently claim confidence.
  • Local-first operation: no surprise remote calls for ranking, receipts, verification, or diagnostics. The single carve-out is engine repair: when the native engine is missing, entroly/self_heal.py installs entroly-core from PyPI before measuring, because without it selection never reads the query and any reported saving is budget arithmetic. It is a package install — no code, prompts, or telemetry leave the machine — it is skipped when the engine is present, and ENTROLY_NO_SELF_HEAL=1 disables it. Do not extend this carve-out to anything else, and never repair from an import path.
  • Cache stability: prompt prefixes should remain byte-stable unless intentionally changed.
  • Release consistency: Python, Rust, WASM, npm, Homebrew, docs, and native minimum versions must agree.
  • Benchmark honesty: claims must include baseline, token budget, workload, and caveats.

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.
