cratis-chronicle-event-constraints

cratis-chronicle-event-constraints is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cratis/AI. It costs 40 tokens per session (3,782 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to enforcing uniqueness rules when events are appended to the Chronicle event store. The rule is checked inside the append operation, so competing requests cannot both pass a separate, possibly outdated pre-check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for uniqueness or other state-dependent rules that must hold at event storage time. It also covers specifying the resulting constraint violation in a test.
Why use it?
A command-side check can become stale while another request is writing. An append-time constraint keeps the rule valid when requests race.

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-event-constraints 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 314 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chronicle event constraints

A constraint is an append-time invariant. Chronicle evaluates it inside the append, against the event store's own index — so it is the only mechanism that holds when two requests race. A command-side pre-check reads state that may already be stale by the time the append lands; a constraint cannot be.

Constraints are discovered automatically. There is no registration call.

A constraint binds every writer, whichever client or service appends, so it is the mechanism for uniqueness and create-once. It cannot count, sum or test a predicate: capacity and stock rules need a guarded read (read protection On), a stream decision or an aggregate. Read choosing how a rule holds when it is unclear which one a rule needs.

Requires Chronicle 19.82.2 for constraint-index gap repair.

A failed post-append index update marks a gap: subsequent governed appends repair the index from the event log or return ConstraintIndexUnavailable in the result's error collection without writing. Do not remove the constraint or blindly retry an unknown append outcome; see append outcomes. Constraints apply per event store namespace and event sequence, so tenants in different namespaces can claim the same value. A constraint is not re-run when the kernel retries a duplicate sequence number.

Verified in the tagged kernel sources listed by append outcomes: Source/Kernel/Core/EventSequences/EventSequence.AppendSettlement.cs and EventSequence.Validation.cs.

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.

cratis-chronicle-event-constraints is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cratis/AI (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 3,782 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-08.
