# humanlayer - 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: `humanlayer/humanlayer`
- capability: The best way to get AI coding agents to solve hard problems in complex codebases.
- expected_user_outcome: The best way to get AI coding agents to solve hard problems in complex codebases.

## 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.

- **System Overview and Architecture**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: README.md, humanlayer.md, hld/CLAUDE.md, hld/PROTOCOL.md, humanlayer-wui/CLAUDE.md
- **hld Daemon: Sessions, Approvals, MCP, and Storage**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: hld/cmd/hld/main.go, hld/daemon/daemon.go, hld/session/manager.go, hld/session/claudecode_wrapper.go, hld/session/permission_monitor.go
- **CodeLayer Desktop (humanlayer-wui)**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: humanlayer-wui/src/main.tsx, humanlayer-wui/src/App.tsx, humanlayer-wui/src/router.tsx, humanlayer-wui/src/stores/appStore.ts, humanlayer-wui/src/components/Layout.tsx
- **hlyr CLI, SDKs, Contracts, and Release Pipeline**: importance `medium`
  - source_paths: hlyr/src/index.ts, hlyr/src/commands/launch.ts, hlyr/src/commands/claude.ts, hlyr/src/daemonClient.ts, hlyr/src/mcp.ts

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `bdea199cec94a1605d2a0de42309d67a14dafdf2`
- inspected_files: `README.md`, `package.json`, `docker-compose.yml`, `docs/workshop.mdx`, `docs/docs.knowledge.md`, `docs/quickstart-typescript.mdx`, `docs/readme.md`, `docs/introduction.mdx`, `docs/package-lock.json`, `docs/mint.json`, `docs/development.mdx`, `docs/case-studies/healthcare-case-study.md`, `packages/database/README.md`, `packages/database/types.ts`, `packages/database/package.json`, `packages/database/database.ts`, `packages/database/tsconfig.json`, `packages/database/index.ts`, `packages/database/drizzle.config.ts`, `packages/database/CLAUDE.md`

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/humanlayer/humanlayer/issues/981
- Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it.

### Constraint 2: 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.
