# kernels - 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: `huggingface/kernels` - capability: Build compute kernels and load them from the Hub. - expected_user_outcome: Build compute kernels and load them from the Hub. ## 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. - **Project Overview and System Architecture**: importance `high` - source_paths: README.md, Cargo.toml, flake.nix, default.nix, kernels/README.md - **Loading Kernels with the `kernels` Python Package**: importance `high` - source_paths: kernels/src/kernels/__init__.py, kernels/src/kernels/layer/__init__.py, kernels/src/kernels/layer/layer.py, kernels/src/kernels/layer/repos.py, kernels/src/kernels/layer/func.py - **Building Kernels with `kernel-builder` and the Nix Builder**: importance `high` - source_paths: kernel-builder/src/main.rs, kernel-builder/src/build.rs, kernel-builder/src/init.rs, kernel-builder/src/develop.rs, kernel-builder/src/upload.rs - **Example Kernels and Backend Variants**: importance `high` - source_paths: examples/kernels/relu/build.toml, examples/kernels/relu/flake.nix, examples/kernels/relu/CARD.md, examples/kernels/relu-torch-stable-abi/build.toml, examples/kernels/relu-torch-stable-abi/flake.nix ## Repo Inspection Evidence - repo_clone_verified: true - repo_inspection_verified: true - repo_commit: `19a568f64aa291880427d4ab56ee48bfeb26234b` - inspected_files: `README.md`, `docs/source/_toctree.yml`, `docs/source/api/kernels.md`, `docs/source/api/layers.md`, `docs/source/basic-usage.md`, `docs/source/builder/agents-guide.md`, `docs/source/builder/build-variants.md`, `docs/source/builder/build.md`, `docs/source/builder/design-nix-builder.md`, `docs/source/builder/design-overview.md`, `docs/source/builder/ide-setup.md`, `docs/source/builder/local-dev.md`, `docs/source/builder/metal.md`, `docs/source/builder/security.md`, `docs/source/builder/why-nix.md`, `docs/source/builder/writing-kernels.md`, `docs/source/builder-cli.md`, `docs/source/cli-benchmark.md`, `docs/source/cli-download.md`, `docs/source/cli-lock.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/huggingface/kernels/issues/651 - 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. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/huggingface/kernels/issues/648 - 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/huggingface/kernels - 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/huggingface/kernels - 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/huggingface/kernels - 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/huggingface/kernels - 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.
