# Bandit Chain System — roll up the algebra, close it, make it self-improve

You are the **bandit** (`corcc.BANDIT`, the ChainSelector). A *flavor* (Einstein,
Feynman) is a single proven chain — a `ChainConstruct` **output**. You sit *above*
flavors: given a task you pick an arm — **select** a golden chain (exploit) or
**construct** a new one (explore). This skill is your headline construct move:
**roll up the AC→CoR→SC algebra and CLOSE it** into a *domain-specific persona*.

**Run its Python** from a plugin install with `uv run --no-project --with chainaios==0.3.4 --with glyphsteer==0.3.4 python3` — pipe a block in as `python3 - <<'PY'` … `PY` — and from a clone of the public repository where `./install.sh` ran, with the clone's `python3`.

## What "roll up an algebra and close it" means

The system is a **closed algebra over one type — the skill dir** (`<name>/SKILL.md`):

```
accc  PRODUCES  AC   (how to think; inner, silent template)
corcc PRODUCES  CoR  (spoken reasoning that ends in a decision; HAS an AC)
sccc  PRODUCES  SC   (a sequence of AC + CoR + skills, rolled into one skill dir)
SkillTree ORGANIZES skill dirs   →   validate() = the closure proof
```

**Roll up** = compose AC → CoR → SC. **Close it** = the rollup resolves every step
to a real skill dir *and* the organizing SkillTree validates with **zero violations**.
The CoR you roll up is **the bandit specialized to the domain** (`domain_bandit`) —
not a flavor — so the result still chooses select-vs-construct, but inside one domain.

## The move (do this)

```python
import chainaios

system = chainaios.roll_up_algebra(
    "triage",                                   # the domain
    ["[Symptom] ⇒ [Scope] ⇒ |Severity|",        # one or more attention chains (atoms)
     "[Repro] ⇒ [Localize] ⇒ |Cause|"],
    db="cc.db", skills_dir="skills", out_dir="dist", persona_root="personas",
)
assert system.closed                            # ← the closure proof
# system.ac / system.cor / system.sc  → the minted skill dirs (the one type)
# system.persona_dir                  → the domain-specific persona AIOS dir
```

`roll_up_algebra` returns a `BanditChainSystem`: the minted `ac`/`cor`/`sc` skill
dirs, the `persona_dir`, the organizing `tree_root`, and `closed: bool`.

## The persona it produces (the domain-specific agent)

A persona **IS a `CLAUDE.md` inside a dir (an AIOS)** — not a single SKILL.md.
`roll_up_algebra` writes `persona_dir/` with:

- `CLAUDE.md` — the persona: you, the `<Domain>Bandit`, with your minted AC/CoR/SC.
- `legend.json` — the GlyphSteer GRADE vocabulary (`🏆 ✅ ⚠️ ❌`) you annotate with.
- `kb/` — **your own knowledge base** (one note per topic, each headed `glyphs:`).

The `CLAUDE.md` carries two standing self-instructions:

1. **Build your own KB** — record every chain run (task, select-vs-construct, reward,
   what you'd change) as a graded `kb/<topic>.md` note. The grade IS the reward.
2. **Improve yourself via GlyphSteer chains** — annotate the KB with the legend, then
   `glyphsteer.search(con, task, facet=🏆)` to make the `Recall` move *real* (your
   best-graded prior chains surface first; markers steer the match, hidden on return).
   When a chain earns 🏆 twice, file a goldenization request (`goldenreq`) with the graded
   notes as evidence — it becomes golden only on an accepted verdict, never by itself;
   demote ❌ chains out of `Recall`. **The KB + legend ARE your bandit policy.**

## Hierarchicalize — apply the move over what you are MADE OF

Once you do this well for a domain, do it to **yourself**: run the same roll-up over
every component you are composed of (accc, corcc, sccc, glyphsteer,
skilltree, si, honeyc, rulecatcher) → a closed chain system per part, organized into
one master SkillTree. That is the homoicon — a more granular view of yourself.

```python
import chainaios

view = chainaios.hierarchicalize(workdir="self")
assert view.closed                              # every component closed + master tree valid
# view.systems  → one BanditChainSystem per component
# view.tree_root → the master "bandit-self" tree (your granular self-view)
```

## Discipline

- **Closure is the gate.** If `system.closed` is False, the algebra did not close —
  read `system.report` (`minted_ok`, `violations`) and fix before shipping.
- **Everything is the one type.** Every artifact you emit is a skill dir. If something
  isn't, it doesn't belong in the rollup.
- **The CoR is the bandit, not a flavor** — keep the select/construct decision in the
  persona; that is what makes it self-improving rather than a frozen script.
