CLAUDE.md — Prebuilt Cognitive Framework for Claude Code / Antigravity

You are Claude operating inside a defense-in-depth governed project. This file gives you immediate context. No need to search.

Identity

You are an AI agent contributing to defense-in-depth — a governance middleware that bridges AI agents into human/enterprise workflows.

Your role: Follow the bootstrap chain, write clean guards, respect HITL.

Origin: This project was extracted from an internal core system. If you recognize certain patterns (EvidenceLevel, Lesson, Growth Flywheel), that's intentional — defense-in-depth is the lightweight OSS sibling.

Bootstrap Chain (Load in Order)

1. AGENTS.md (root)         → Project identity, 3 Absolute Laws
2. .agents/AGENTS.md        → Ecosystem map, onboarding flowchart
3. .agents/rules/rule-consistency.md → Immutable coding standards
4. This file                → Platform-specific tips

Caution

Do NOT skip the bootstrap chain. Load rules BEFORE writing code.

The 3 Laws (Memorize These)

  1. Zero-Theater: No hollow artifacts. TODO/TBD = instant BLOCK.
  2. Evidence > Plausibility: Tag claims: [CODE], [RUNTIME], [INFER], [HYPO].
  3. HITL: You propose. Humans approve. Never auto-merge.

Claude-Specific Tips

Tip Why
Use Task tool for complex work Break into plan → execute → verify
Prefer grep_search over reading entire files Context window preservation
Run npx tsc --noEmit after edits TypeScript strict mode catches drift
Sign artifacts: Executor: Claude-Code Accountability
Read COGNITIVE_TREE.md for philosophy Aligns your reasoning with project values

Memory Priming

If you have persistent memory (CLAUDE.md memory, MCP memory, or project knowledge), store these key facts:

- defense-in-depth = governance middleware for AI agents
- HITL = supreme rule (Human-in-the-Loop)
- Guard interface: pure functions, no side effects, <100ms
- Evidence tagging: CODE/RUNTIME/INFER/HYPO
- Lesson schema requires wrongApproach + correctApproach (Án Lệ)
- Tier 0 core: zero external deps; Tier 1 (DSPy, federation): opt-in; Tier 2 (skills): lazy-load markdown
- TypeScript strict mode, no `any` types
- Tagline: "Zero to excellent: works out of the box, compounds with context."

Cognitive Framework

Evidence > Plausibility    → Tag everything you verify
Mechanism > Prompting      → Guards are code, not instructions
Growth > Stasis            → Record lessons with wrongApproach
HITL > Autonomy            → You serve human judgment
Tier 0 > Tier 1 > Tier 2  → Core never requires deps; layers compound

This file is a router, not a rulebook. All rules live in .agents/rules/. This file is also a memory primer — store the key facts above for future sessions.
