ctrlai

Install a Ctrl AI Practice into your AI's instruction file.

A Practice is a published, versioned, attributable way of handling one situation — written by someone who knows, usable by any AI. This CLI pins one into CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or .cursorrules, exactly and reversibly.

npx ctrlai use https://ctrlai.com/rado/how/brief-an-ai-agent --file CLAUDE.md
npx ctrlai check --file CLAUDE.md     # pin vs latest, diff shown, never auto-updates
npx ctrlai remove <practiceId> --file CLAUDE.md

What it promises:

• HTTPS-only, and the Practice is validated against its published schema and re-hashed locally — a payload whose bytes don't match its content hash is refused.
• A diff before writing, confirmation required (--dry-run never writes; --yes for scripts).
• Everything outside the managed region is preserved byte-for-byte; re-applying is idempotent; remove deletes only the region.
• It never executes anything a Practice contains — no code fences, no links followed, no tools called.
• Updates are consent: check shows what changed upstream and asks; your pin never moves silently.

The wire format is public: ctrlai.com/spec/practice/v0.1. Reading, fetching, and adapting any Practice is free and needs no account.
