# chunkhound - Doramagic AI Context Pack > Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated. ## Project - canonical_name: `chunkhound/chunkhound` - capability: Local first codebase intelligence - expected_user_outcome: Local first codebase intelligence ## Operating Boundaries - Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it. - Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references. - When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact. - publish_status: `publishable` - blocking_gaps: none --- ## Doramagic Context Augmentation The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints. ## Human Manual Outline Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph. Host AI hard rules: - Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence. - When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal. - Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph. - **Architecture and System Overview**: importance `high` - source_paths: chunkhound/core/models/chunk.py, chunkhound/core/models/file.py, chunkhound/core/config/config.py, chunkhound/database_factory.py, chunkhound/services/directory_indexing_service.py - **Search, Research, and Code Mapping**: importance `high` - source_paths: chunkhound/api/cli/commands/search.py, chunkhound/api/cli/commands/research.py, chunkhound/services/search_service.py, chunkhound/services/deep_research_service.py, chunkhound/services/diff_aware_search_service.py - **MCP Integration and Deployment**: importance `high` - source_paths: chunkhound/mcp_server/stdio.py, chunkhound/mcp_server/tools.py, chunkhound/daemon/server.py, chunkhound/daemon/process.py, chunkhound/daemon/ipc/unix_socket.py - **Parsers, Providers, and Extensibility**: importance `high` - source_paths: chunkhound/parsers/universal_parser.py, chunkhound/parsers/parser_factory.py, chunkhound/providers/embeddings/openai_provider.py, chunkhound/providers/llm/claude_code_cli_provider.py, chunkhound/providers/llm/opencode_cli_provider.py ## Repo Inspection Evidence - repo_clone_verified: true - repo_inspection_verified: true - repo_commit: `cf15b76aac938a7c17cd1bff9898828b76adf6b1` - inspected_files: `README.md`, `pyproject.toml`, `requirements.txt`, `uv.lock` Host AI hard rules: - Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read. - Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts. - Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully. ## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes. ### Constraint 1: Installation risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a installation risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound/issues/352 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 2: Configuration risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a configuration risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: capability.host_targets | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 3: Capability evidence risk requires verification - Trigger: README/documentation is current enough for a first validation pass. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: capability.assumptions | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 4: Maintenance risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a maintenance risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: evidence.maintainer_signals | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 5: Security or permission risk requires verification - Trigger: no_demo - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: downstream_validation.risk_items | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 6: Security or permission risk requires verification - Trigger: no_demo - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: risks.scoring_risks | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 7: Security or permission risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a security or permission risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound/issues/349 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 8: Security or permission risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a security or permission risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound/issues/315 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 9: Maintenance risk requires verification - Trigger: issue_or_pr_quality=unknown。 - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: evidence.maintainer_signals | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 10: Maintenance risk requires verification - Trigger: release_recency=unknown。 - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: evidence.maintainer_signals | https://github.com/chunkhound/chunkhound - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it.
