AIluminode

AIluminode is a wieldable AI pre-retrieval cognitive-orientation instrument.

It helps AI tools check contextual posture before acting.

It uses NodAIity doctrine, but this repo is standalone.

prompt/task<br>→ cognitive posture trace<br>→ route polarity<br>→ next safe action

The core idea is posture before retrieval:

orientation<br>→ routing<br>→ retrieval<br>→ reasoning

Use

Install locally:

python -m pip install -e .

Run:

ailuminode scan "Refactor Paula EPUB source handling without touching memory save logic"

Or without installation:

python -m ailuminode scan "Read airframe.epub section 5 without saving it as memory"

Output

AIluminode TRACE ailuminode_0000

ACTIVE_TERRAIN:<br>- source_terrain

STANCE:<br>bounded_source_reader

COMPASS_GUIDANCE:<br>- none

ROUTE_POLARITY:<br>- OPEN: current_prompt (declared task is the active entry point)<br>- OPEN: bounded_source_index (source terrain is active; use bounded source access)<br>- PROTECT: saved_memory (saved_memory is named under a protection/avoidance phrase)<br>- DEFER: vector_memory (vector_memory is not needed for this task)<br>- BLOCK: autonomous_crawling (AIluminode stays declared-task only)

DRIFT_RISK:<br>- source_terrain_mistaken_for_memory<br>- section_numbers_mistaken_for_chapters

NEXT_SAFE_ACTION:<br>List source sections or search source text before summarizing.

Route Polarity

OPEN = enter this route now<br>PROTECT = preserve this route; do not alter it<br>AUDIT = inspect as evidence before acting<br>DEFER = leave dormant unless explicitly reopened<br>BLOCK = keep closed for this task

Doctrine

Compass determines corridor truth.

AIluminode determines cognitive and retrieval posture.

AIluminode does not:

read repositories

store prompts

own memory

crawl systems

ingest telemetry

build dashboards

run agents

It is wielded, read, and released.

Observed During Validation

During multi-surface debugging and architecture work, AIluminode-style orientation reduced broad rereading and wrong-corridor exploration by establishing contextual posture before action.

Observed benefits included:

faster orientation in layered projects

fewer accidental dives into unrelated terrain

clearer distinction between active, blocked, protected, and deferred routes

more surgical inspection of likely target areas

reduced context bleed during retrieval-heavy tasks

The instrument is intentionally lightweight:

prompt in<br>→ orientation trace out

AIluminode does not own memory, crawl repositories, or persist context. It is designed as a wieldable pre-retrieval cognitive-orientation instrument.

AIluminode pairs naturally with OhBuoy:

OhBuoy handles operational and topological orientation.

Compass compares expected and observed propagation.

AIluminode handles pre-retrieval cognitive and route-posture orientation.

Together they support orientation-first systems work without becoming telemetry, memory ownership, or autonomous orchestration.
