Note: This release is tagged retroactively against commit 0e3d60d. The repo went straight from v1.0.0 work to v1.1.0 before the first public release was cut; this tag exists for completeness of the version history. New installs should use v1.1.0 which adds the Warden role and the /goal contract on top of everything here.

Initial installable form of claude-layers — the four-layer behavioral configuration system for Claude Code.

What's in v1.0.0

  • Layer 1 (CLAUDE.md) — eight numbered behavioral guidelines drawn from Karpathy's late-2025 Claude Code notes (HN discussion). Read before write, surface confusion, hold position under challenge, surgical edits.
  • Layer 2 — three role overlays:
    • FORGE.md (builder) — implements specs, refuses to architect
    • QUILL.md (writer) — writes specs/docs, refuses to write code
    • SCOUT.md (investigator) — traces and reports, refuses to decide the fix
  • Layer 3 — project overlays: PROJECT_TEMPLATE.md plus three reference examples (PROJECT_WEBAPP, PROJECT_API, PROJECT_CLI)
  • Orchestrator (ARGENT.md) — composes context across layers and routes operator requests to the right specialist
  • Bash installer--minimal, --yes, --help flags; idempotent
  • DocsLAYERING_MODEL.md, ROUTING_PATTERNS.md, CREATING_OVERLAYS.md

Upgrade path

v1.1.0 adds the Warden verifier role, the /goal manifest + verification protocol, and a binding orchestrator dispatch contract that refuses to spawn generic workers.
