Epistemic protocols for Claude Code — structure human-AI interaction quality at every decision point - https://epistemic-protocols.com
README
When AI collaboration goes off-track, you redo everything. These protocols catch misalignment early — often at the plan level, before it hardens into code or other downstream work. Fix the direction before the implementation compounds it.
Correcting a wrong direction at the plan level can cost one conversation turn. Once it hardens into code, rollout steps, or downstream explanations, it can cost hours of rework. These protocols insert structured checkpoints at decision points — intent, goal, context, perspective, execution, applicability, recall, and comprehension — so you and AI can surface, judge, and adapt misalignment before it compounds.
Stated Mission — the public hook: catch wrong directions early, especially at the plan level. This is the clearest entry story and how most users reach for the protocols.
Realized Machinery — the actual coverage: structured checkpoints span planning, analysis, decision, execution, verification, recall, and comprehension. Protocols such as Prosoche (execution guardrail compilation), Epharmoge (post-execution applicability), Anamnesis (session recall), and Katalepsis (comprehension verification) extend beyond plan-level alone.
The two layers serve different audiences: README and landing copy carry the narrow public contract; SKILL.md and CLAUDE.md describe the full machinery. See docs/mission-bridge.md for the governance rules that keep these layers aligned.
Install all protocols and utilities:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jongwony/epistemic-protocols/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
Then run /onboard — start with a quick recommendation based on your recent sessions, then optionally continue to guided learning with scenarios, trials, and quizzes.
