The Builder's Statute Book: Extracting Anthropic's Design Canon from Published Artefacts

We disclose 134 named design rules (Exchange Principles, EXP-001 to EXP-134) extracted from Anthropic's publicly available npm artefacts: cli.js (16,824 lines), sdk-tools.d.ts (2,723 lines), and package.json. No leaked source was used. These rules constitute the unconscious design DNA transferred by Claude Code to every system it builds. Five second-order meta-laws emerge from the corpus (Large Output Escape, Destructive Consent, Before/After State, Telemetry Minimum, Human Agency Observable). The rule algebra generates 17,956 rule intersections (YUKTI) and 322,416,736 pre-computed implications (VIVEKA) from the 134 base statutes — the same self-expanding structure as common law over 800 years. Six builder harmonization laws (CA-000 to CA-005) are derived from the meta-laws and encoded as a 5-bit compliance mask (claude_ankr_mask) in the ANKR service codex. IP claim: the extraction methodology, the 134 EXP corpus, the five meta-laws, the rule algebra, and the CA builder harmonization framework are hereby disclosed as prior art.
