# PocketFlow - 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: `The-Pocket/PocketFlow` - capability: Pocket Flow: 100-line LLM framework. Let Agents build Agents! - expected_user_outcome: Pocket Flow: 100-line LLM framework. Let Agents build Agents! ## 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. - **Core Framework Architecture: Node, Flow, and Graph Abstraction**: importance `high` - source_paths: pocketflow/__init__.py, pocketflow/__init__.pyi, setup.py, docs/core_abstraction/node.md, docs/core_abstraction/flow.md - **Design Patterns: Agent, Workflow, RAG, and Multi-Agent**: importance `high` - source_paths: docs/design_pattern/agent.md, docs/design_pattern/workflow.md, docs/design_pattern/rag.md, docs/design_pattern/multi_agent.md, docs/design_pattern/mapreduce.md - **Utility Functions: LLM, Embeddings, Vector, TTS, Web Search, and Visualization**: importance `medium` - source_paths: docs/utility_function/llm.md, docs/utility_function/embedding.md, docs/utility_function/vector.md, docs/utility_function/text_to_speech.md, docs/utility_function/websearch.md - **Cookbook Examples, Human-in-the-Loop, and Deployment**: importance `high` - source_paths: cookbook/README.md, cookbook/pocketflow-hello-world/main.py, cookbook/pocketflow-hello-world/flow.py, cookbook/pocketflow-agent/main.py, cookbook/pocketflow-rag/main.py ## Repo Inspection Evidence - repo_clone_verified: true - repo_inspection_verified: true - repo_commit: `43ef382bb0c9dae8167528618bb40f5a3f9a28a5` - inspected_files: `README.md`, `docs/_config.yml`, `docs/core_abstraction/async.md`, `docs/core_abstraction/batch.md`, `docs/core_abstraction/communication.md`, `docs/core_abstraction/flow.md`, `docs/core_abstraction/index.md`, `docs/core_abstraction/node.md`, `docs/core_abstraction/parallel.md`, `docs/design_pattern/agent.md`, `docs/design_pattern/index.md`, `docs/design_pattern/mapreduce.md`, `docs/design_pattern/multi_agent.md`, `docs/design_pattern/rag.md`, `docs/design_pattern/structure.md`, `docs/design_pattern/workflow.md`, `docs/guide.md`, `docs/index.md`, `docs/utility_function/chunking.md`, `docs/utility_function/embedding.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/The-Pocket/PocketFlow/issues/110 - 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/The-Pocket/PocketFlow/issues/132 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 3: Installation risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a installation risk.
