jordan a776744889 Initial project setup with Claude Code monorepo structure
- Rust workspace with stemedb-core crate
- Full .claude/ configuration (agents, skills, commands, guides)
- ai-lookup/ for token-efficient fact storage
- Quality gates: clippy, fmt, jscpd duplication detection
- Pre-commit hook with 5-phase quality checks
- CLAUDE.md router and CODING_GUIDELINES.md standards

# Episteme (StemeDB)
A probabilistic knowledge graph database that stores Claims, not Facts. Append-only Merkle DAG with read-time resolution via Lenses.
**Core Concept:** "Git for Truth" - conflicting assertions coexist, resolved at query time through Consensus, Recency, Authority, or custom Lenses.

## Critical Rules
- **Append-Only:** NEVER mutate existing Assertions. Create new ones.
- **Content-Addressed:** Assertion ID = BLAKE3 hash of content.
- **No Unwrap:** NEVER use `unwrap()` or `expect()` in production code.
- **Defensive Writes:** All writes go through WAL with fsync.
- **Zero-Copy:** Use `rkyv` for serialization.
## Quick Reference
```bash
# Build
cargo build --workspace
# Test
cargo test --workspace
# Lint (must pass before commit)
cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --check
```
## Specialized Agents
| Domain | Agent | When to use |
|--------|-------|-------------|
| General Rust | `primary-developer` | Feature implementation, refactoring |
| Code Quality | `rust-quality-engineer` | Reviews, test coverage, clippy |
| Storage | `storage-engine-architect` | WAL, LSM, crash recovery |
| Graph Engine | `rust-graph-engine-architect` | Lock-free structures, cache optimization |
| Defensive | `defensive-systems-architect` | Rate limiting, circuit breakers, hostile input |
| Lenses | `stemedb-lens-architect` | Query resolution, ranking algorithms |
| Planning | `stemedb-planner` | Milestone planning, roadmap |
