# GEODE Context

- Version-agnostic runtime context. For current version and metrics always read

- `CLAUDE.md` or `site/src/data/geode/sot.ts` — never trust numbers remembered

- from this skill.

+ Version-agnostic runtime context. Use `geode version` / `geode about` for the

+ installed version and runtime facts; never trust numbers remembered from this

+ skill.

## Current Shape

- GEODE is a general-purpose autonomous-agent harness whose runtime is `AgenticLoop(while tool_use)`.

- The agent loop, sub-agents, plans, and batches are all instances of the same tool-use loop.

- The runtime is domain-agnostic. Shipped packages:

- `core/` — agent loop, tools, MCP, memory, hooks, wiring, CLI, server, gateway.

- `evals/` — Petri audits, benchmarks, seed generation, and GEO measurement.

- `evolve/` — scaffold search and Crucible experiment supervision.

- `site/` is the public Next.js docs/site, not a Python package.

- Dependency direction is `evolve -> evals -> core`; reverse imports are forbidden.

## Runtime Boundaries

- Canonical execution path is async-first: `AgenticLoop.arun()`, tool `aexecute()`, async provider clients.

- `core/agent/loop/agent_loop.py` is the implementation. `DEFAULT_MAX_ROUNDS = 0` means unlimited rounds; time budget and model-emitted termination signals (`model_action_required`, `user_clarification_needed`) control completion.

- Sub-agents: `core/agent/sub_agent.py` (`SubAgentManager`) — max depth 1 (no recursion), session-wide cap 15, global Lane concurrency 50 (`core/wiring/container.py`).

- Headless modes (DAEMON / SCHEDULER) deny `run_bash` / `delegate_task` / `computer` outright (`HEADLESS_DENIED_TOOLS`, `core/agent/safety.py`).

## Prompt And Context Injection

- `core/llm/prompt_assembler.py` owns prompt assembly and emits `PROMPT_ASSEMBLED`.

- `core/agent/system_prompt.py` inserts `__GEODE_PROMPT_CACHE_BOUNDARY__` between STATIC and DYNAMIC blocks; dynamic context is wrapped in `<dynamic_context>`.

- Skill metadata is injected as `<available_skills>` (metadata only); full skill bodies load on demand via the `use_skill` tool.

- Do not inject old Game IP pipeline facts, fixed DAG claims, analyst/evaluator topology, or confidence-threshold loop claims into the system prompt.

## Release Pipeline

- Functional commits update `CHANGELOG.md`.

- Quality gates: `ruff check` / `ruff format --check` (`core`, `evals`, `evolve`, `tests`, `scripts`), `mypy core/ evals/ evolve/`, `lint-imports`, `pytest -m "not live"`, `geode version` smoke.

- Publishing is manual/approval-gated, not automatic on every main push.

## Guardrails

- Do not restore the retired top-level `plugins`, `geode_product`, or

`core.self_improving` packages. Evaluation and evolution stay explicit outer

consumers of `core`.

- Do not describe GEODE as a fixed Plan-and-Execute DAG, fixed StateGraph, or confidence-threshold pipeline.

- Do not cite LangSmith as current observability; GEODE uses its own hooks, audit diagnostics, run logs, and site/docs gates.

- Do not hard-code deprecated model names. Use the provider registries and token/cost tables.
