/** * Engineering discipline — a host-only prompt-layer plugin. * * Three independent contributions, all rendered on every model request: * * head — the three unconditional clauses, near the top of the system prompt * (primacy: the first thing a long session reads and forgets last) * core — the full rule set with its judged condition, at the very end of the * system prompt (recency: the last prose block before the conversation) * anchor — a one-paragraph re-assertion inside the "Current runtime context" * snapshot, which is the last block before the conversation * (proximity: survives even when the model skips the prompt body) * * Why three layers instead of one: the same rule read at the top and re-read at * the bottom is what survives a 200k-token session. A rule stated once in the * middle of a long prompt is read once and then buried under tool output. * * Every rule carries a *judged condition* — the line a reviewer checks to decide * whether the rule was violated. A rule without a judged condition degrades into * vague advice ("be careful", "write good tests"), which is exactly the failure * mode this plugin exists to counter. The examples and the derivation are in * README.md, deliberately NOT in the prompt: the prompt carries the contract, the * README carries the argument for it. * * Sections are registered through `ctx.systemPrompt.section()` / `.context()`, * the sanctioned channel for prompt text — never by mutating the assembled prompt * from a `system-prompt/assemble` listener. `inject` is declared on the plugin and * the services are used straight off the plugin context: the object an * `ctx.inject(...)` callback receives is an interim layer that exposes only the * declared names (calling `prompt.section()` on it throws "cannot get property * \"section\" without inject"), so the context path is the only correct one. * * `headName` / `coreName` / `contextName` are global-unique on purpose: a scoped * layer (an agent preset mounting the same row) shadows a global entry with the * same name, so a preset can retune the text without ever double-registering. * * Default orders are derived from the live registry (`getSectionOrder` / * `getContextOrder`) rather than hard-coded, so a registry renumbering moves this * row with it; only `coreOrder` stays a literal, because "last thing the model * reads" is a position past the final band, not a neighbour to sit after. In * `frontline` that literal is 19999, one below the identity core at 20000: the * identity block owns the closing sentence, and the rules sit just ahead of it. * * This plugin has no imports: whether the plugin manager copies the package or * links it, a bare `@deepseek-ai/schemastery` import would not resolve from this * directory, so the config is normalized in plain JS instead. * * It shapes how the model reports, verifies and scopes its own work at the prompt * layer. It does not change model weights, and it does not enforce anything at * run time — a model that ignores the text is not stopped by it. * * @module @local/dsh-frontline/src/discipline */ /** Cordis plugin name. */ export const name = 'discipline';
