# corpus-grounding-expander

This skill gathers public-domain corpus editions and maps them to shared keys for quote checks. Use it when grounding should accept a faithful quote from more than one edition.

## What it does

The skill identifies sources and checks redistribution terms for each edition, then fetches the material and maps it to a common key schema. It writes per-edition files and an index with each version’s license, scope, and record count. Failed fetches stay visible in that index.

Next, it configures quote validation as a union: a match in any edition passes, while no text-generation path is added. It also runs a fabrication probe and records the result. Without a consumer gate, the corpus is labeled `relay-unverified`; downstream systems cannot cite it as relay-verified.

The skill needs network access and file-writing capability. Each edition’s license must be verified and recorded as stated; public-domain status is never assumed.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add chrono-meta/forge-harness --skill corpus-grounding-expander -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/corpus-grounding-expander/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/corpus-grounding-expander/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add chrono-meta/forge-harness --skill corpus-grounding-expander -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/corpus-grounding-expander/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add chrono-meta/forge-harness --skill corpus-grounding-expander -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/corpus-grounding-expander/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install chrono-meta/forge-harness corpus-grounding-expander
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/corpus-grounding-expander/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add chrono-meta/forge-harness --skill corpus-grounding-expander -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/chrono-meta/forge-harness --path plugins/fh-meta/skills/corpus-grounding-expander
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/corpus-grounding-expander/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add chrono-meta/forge-harness --skill corpus-grounding-expander -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/chrono-meta/forge-harness/tree/HEAD/plugins/fh-meta/skills/corpus-grounding-expander/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- add another edition to a quote-grounding corpus
- map multiple source editions to shared keys
- record each edition’s license and provenance
- track failed fetches in the corpus index
- test whether a gate rejects quotes absent from the sources

## Example prompts
- Expand the grounded corpus with multiple `RFC` editions and record each license.
- /corpus-grounding-expander {source or version}
- Fetch the full source in several editions, then test that the gate rejects a quote absent from them.

# corpus-grounding-expander

Builds or broadens the **grounded axiom** a relay system quotes from. When a system's output must be
constrained to verbatim source (fail-closed grounding), the corpus IS the axiom — this skill expands
that corpus from multiple public-domain versions so grounding is robust and non-biased (a quote
verified in ANY version counts), without ever adding a generator.

> Origin: harvested from the-bible (2026-06-20) — 6 public-domain Bible versions, 197k verses, as the
> fail-closed grounding axiom. **The grounds, inline, because the harvest record does not ship**: one
> edition's wording makes a fail-closed check reject a faithful quote that followed a *different*
> edition, so the union across versions is what stops fail-closed grounding from failing closed
> *against the user* — and it keeps one translation's editorial choices from silently becoming the
> axiom. Generalizes to any verbatim-relay corpus (legal statute, RFC text, standards).
> Full harvest record — **hub-local, not distributed in the npm package**:
> `tracks/_contrib/field_harvest_2026-06-20_gate-locality-and-grounding-capabilities.md`.

## Triggers
- "get more sources" / "broaden the grounded corpus"
- "add another version of the corpus"
- "ingest the full <source> as the grounding axiom"
- `/corpus-grounding-expander {source or version}`

### Natural Language Triggers (example user phrases)
- "이 코퍼스 여러 버전으로 통째로 가져와줘"
- "the grounding DB is just a sample — pull the whole thing, multiple editions"
- "add a second public-domain edition so we're not biased to one"

## Steps
1. **Source + license check** — identify the public-domain source(s) and confirm each is genuinely
   free to redistribute. Record the license literally (no assumption).
2. **Fetch (retry-disciplined)** — pull each version; on transient error, backoff-retry before
   declaring the source unavailable (do not silently drop a version).
3. **Normalize to a single key schema** — map every version to the SAME addressable key
   (e.g. `ref → text`) so cross-version quotation stays aligned. Write per-version files +
   an `_index` recording version id, license, scope, and record count.
4. **Wire grounding as a union** — the grounding check passes if the quote matches the canonical text
