cratis-chronicle-client-dotnet

cratis-chronicle-client-dotnet is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/AI. It costs 123 tokens per session (3,662 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to connecting a standalone .NET application to a Chronicle server. It covers creating the client, appending events, and discovering event handlers and read-model components in console apps, workers, and ASP.NET applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add Chronicle event storage and observation to a .NET service, worker, console program, or ASP.NET host.
Why use it?
It explains the lower-level client setup when the application is not using Cratis Arc to configure Chronicle. This avoids treating an SDK connection as if it were an Arc integration.

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

cratis-chronicle-client-dotnet 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 3d 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.

The Chronicle client for .NET

Cratis.Chronicle is a standalone client SDK. A console app, a worker, or a service constructs a client, asks it for an event store, and appends or observes. There is no host requirement and no application architecture imposed.

This is not the Arc integration. In an Arc application, Chronicle is wired in for you and commands return events that Arc appends. Everything below is the layer underneath: what an application that is not Arc has to do itself.

Verified product sources

Source: Cratis/Chronicle.

Package Purpose
Cratis.Chronicle ChronicleClient, IEventStore, [EventType], existing observers; reducer discovery and nomination (DefaultClientArtifactsProvider.cs, Reducers/{SelfReducerMethods,RegisteredReducerReadModel,ReducerCatalog}.cs, Registrations/ExplicitArtifacts.Types.cs)
Cratis.Chronicle.Connections ChronicleConnectionString, connection lifecycle
Cratis.Chronicle.AspNetCore ASP.NET Core wiring, header/subdomain namespace resolvers
Cratis.Chronicle.Testing in-process scenarios
Cratis.Chronicle.CodeAnalysis CHR analyzers, distributed as a client dependency

Take the version from nuget.org, not the placeholder version in the source.

Read references/occurrences.md when recording durable triggers, implementing occurrence handlers, or choosing startup/shutdown activation and retry semantics. Read references/immediate-append-refusal.md when a unit must prevent immediate appends from escaping its atomic receipt boundary before transport.

Lifecycle

Read references/lifecycle.md when waiting for registration (WaitForRegistration, not polling IsConnected), diagnosing quiet observers (keepalive loss fails silently, not with an exception), or disposing the client.

What a standalone app owns that a host would have supplied

Every one of these has a silent default. Read them as a checklist, because the defaults are reasonable for a sample and wrong for a service (ChronicleClient.cs, options constructor):

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.
