chapter-proof-targeting

chapter-proof-targeting is a cursor rule for Cursor from briangmilnes/APAS-VERUS. It costs 9 tokens per session (416 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning rule for formal proof work that requires reading the project's proof-hole log before assigning tasks. The log records unfinished proofs, dependencies, and chapters that are already clear.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before creating proof-work plans, assigning agents, or choosing which chapters to verify next.
Why use it?
It helps avoid planning work around the wrong files or overlooking chapters blocked by unfinished dependencies.

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

chapter-proof-targeting 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Chapter Proof Targeting — Read Before Planning

When planning proof work, agent assignments, or round plans, always read Section 4.6 of the global proof holes log first:

analyses/veracity-review-verus-proof-holes.log → Section 4.6. Chapter by Chapter Proof Targeting

This section contains:

  • Clean chapters — zero holes, no work needed.
  • Holed chapters — hole count, file count, whether deps are clean (ClnDeps?), and which external holed modules block them.
  • Dependency chain — chapter-level blockers (external only).

How to use it

  1. Read Section 4.6 before making any work plan. Search for 4.6. Chapter by Chapter Proof Targeting in the log.
  2. Prioritize clean-deps chapters (ClnDeps? = YES) — these can be closed without waiting on other chapters.
  3. Identify the critical path from the dependency chain. Currently Chap37 is the root blocker for the longest chain (37 → 41 → 42 → 43 → 52).
  4. Partition work by file to avoid agent overlap. The section lists which modules block which chapters — use this to assign non-overlapping file sets.
  5. Internal-only deps (ClnDeps? = internal) can be closed by fixing files within the same chapter.

When to regenerate

Run scripts/all-holes-by-chap.sh to regenerate the log (includes Section 4.6) after:

  • Merging agent branches
  • Any proof work that changes hole counts
  • Structural changes (renames, new files)

Do NOT run per-chapter scripts/holes.sh when you need the global picture — it overwrites per-chapter logs without producing the global analysis.

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.
