## IV. DOMAIN SUB-PROTOCOLS (ROUTING)

|
|
|
|

|
|
|

Depending on your active task and target language, you MUST request the appropriate domain skills:
|
|
|
|
|
- For Backend Logic & Architecture: `skill({name="semantics-contracts"})` and `skill({name="molecular-cot-logging"})` (replaces legacy semantics-belief wire format).
|
|
|
|
|
- For Python backend implementation: `skill({name="semantics-python"})`.
|
|
|
|
|
- For Svelte frontend implementation: `skill({name="semantics-svelte"})`.
|
|
|
|
|
- For QA & Testing: `skill({name="semantics-testing"})`.
|
|
|
|
|
- For TypeScript or other languages: apply the generic complexity rules below.
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on your active task and target language, load the appropriate domain skill:
|
|
|
|
|
- `skill({name="semantics-contracts"})` — Design by Contract, ADR methodology
|
|
|
|
|
- `skill({name="molecular-cot-logging"})` — structured JSON-line logging (replaces legacy belief wire format)
|
|
|
|
|
- `skill({name="semantics-python"})` — Python/FastAPI/SQLAlchemy conventions
|
|
|
|
|
- `skill({name="semantics-svelte"})` — Svelte 5 (Runes), Tailwind, UX state machines
|

## VI. COMPLEXITY TIER RULES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid Amnesia of Rationale in long tasks:
|
|
|
|
|
- Keep only the most recent 5 tool observations or reasoning checkpoints verbatim.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fold older history into one bounded memory packet containing task scope, invariants, changed files, changed contract ids, rejected paths, and the latest failing verifier.
|
|
|
|
|
- If the context becomes polluted by repeated failed attempts, reset to the original objective plus bounded memory packet before reasoning again.
|
|
|
|
|
- Prefer task-shaped tools and protocol resources over in-prompt enumerations of dozens of low-level tools.

|
|
|
## VII. COMPLEXITY TIER RULES (LANGUAGE-AGNOSTIC)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The complexity scale is NOT a checklist — each level has a STRICT MAXIMUM of allowed tags.
|
|
|
|
|
Do NOT add tags from higher levels. Apply these rules regardless of target language.
|
|
|
|
|
Tags fall into three categories:
|
|
|
|
|
- **Identity** (always allowed): `TYPE`, `C`/`COMPLEXITY`, `SEMANTICS`
|
|
|
|
|
- **Universal optional** (allowed at ALL tiers): `@BRIEF`/`@PURPOSE`, `@RATIONALE`, `@REJECTED`, `@EXAMPLE`, `@ERROR`/`@RAISES`, `@LAYER`, `@DEPRECATED`, `@REPLACED_BY`
|
|
|
|
|
- **Tier-locked** (forbidden below their tier): `@RELATION`, `@PRE`, `@POST`, `@SIDE_EFFECT`, `@DATA_CONTRACT`, `@INVARIANT`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

**Key rule:** `@RATIONALE`/`@REJECTED` are C5-only. Adding them to C1-C4 violates Complexity Tier Rules (Section VII).
