# mistral-common - 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: `mistralai/mistral-common`
- capability: Official inference library for pre-processing of Mistral models
- expected_user_outcome: Official inference library for pre-processing of Mistral models

## 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.

- **Overview, Installation & Architecture**: importance `high`
  - source_paths: README.md, LICENCE, pyproject.toml, src/mistral_common/__init__.py, src/mistral_common/base.py

## Repo Inspection Evidence

- repo_clone_verified: true
- repo_inspection_verified: true
- repo_commit: `26fb16d330c096ba3b125de6132f3b805d4486cf`
- inspected_files: `uv.lock`, `pyproject.toml`, `README.md`, `docs/index.md`, `docs/gen_api_pages.py`, `docs/usage/images.md`, `docs/usage/tokenizers.md`, `docs/usage/install.md`, `docs/usage/requests.md`, `docs/usage/experimental.md`, `docs/usage/index.md`, `docs/usage/tools.md`, `docs/examples/inference.md`, `src/mistral_common/deprecation.py`, `src/mistral_common/multimodal.py`, `src/mistral_common/__init__.py`, `src/mistral_common/imports.py`, `src/mistral_common/exceptions.py`, `src/mistral_common/audio.py`, `src/mistral_common/image.py`

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: 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/mistralai/mistral-common/issues/148
- Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it.

### Constraint 2: 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 | github_repo:786756993 | https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-common

### Constraint 3: Maintenance risk requires verification

- Trigger: Project evidence flags a maintenance risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow.
