## What it does

SAKH gives Claude Code access to a hosted corpus of Sayyid Ali Khamenei’s juridical rulings, lectures, and intellectual writing in Arabic and Persian. Retrieval blends meaning-based matching with keyword search, then returns the cited book, page, chapter, and match confidence. It does not generate a ruling outside the corpus.

The server exposes seven read-only tools. They cover corpus search, verbatim fatwa retrieval, concept-graph traversal, thematic cluster surveys, subject analysis before applying a ruling, glossary lookup, and system guidance. The graph contains about 145,000 concepts connected by evidence-bearing relations. Access follows a Google sign-in request, so that step is required before queries can run. The hosted service and corpus are proprietary to SADIQOON TECHNOLOGIES LTD; the repository documentation uses the MIT license.
