Current public-DAV authority boundary — 2026-07-12. Pre-launch target design; nothing here proves a live system. A public-DAV consequence may occur only when at least two natural-person councilors bind the exact consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt. PRISM records and verifies that receipt only; it never serves as council, signatory, authority, or receipt producer. AI and caste seats stage unsigned proposals only; they never authorize or execute a public-DAV consequence. Constitution or membership adoption establishes constitution and membership only; it does not authorize a later consequence. Policy may constrain an unsigned proposal but never authorizes execution or substitutes for the complete consequence-bound receipt. Before receipt validity, consequence fails closed to read-only proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox; live evidence remains gated_pending_complete_valid_bound_receipt. Software deterministically carries out only the exact consequence bound to a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt from at least two natural-person councilors binding that exact consequence.

C0 -- Developer Quick Start

Legacy dev snapshot; use only inside an active implementation sprint after current environment verification.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Git
• An OpenAI API key (or Anthropic, or Google -- any supported provider)

Steps

# 1. Clone the organism
git clone https://github.com/skyzai/organism.git
cd organism

# 2. Navigate to the agent pipeline
cd SKYZAI_ORG/02_ORGANISM_COMMONS/EXECUTION/SKYZAI/agents

# 3. Install dependencies
pip install openai sentence-transformers

# 4. Set your API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here

# 5. Run a test signal through the pipeline
python3 -m pipeline.run \
  --provider openai \
  --model gpt-4o \
  "Test signal: BTC whale moves 10k to exchange"

What Happens

The pipeline processes your signal through the Three-Stage Process:

Signal received
  -> Circle adapter (IS): classify, verify, score
  -> ReFu adapter (COULD): probability assessment
  -> APU adapter (SHOULD): Council deliberation
-> Executor (ACT): unsigned ProposalEnvelope generated

Output: unsigned ProposalEnvelope with PROCEED/HOLD recommendation; authority remains external

You should see structured JSON output with the Council's recommendation within 10-20 seconds due to be finalized through implementation evidence on your model choice.

Alternative Providers

# Anthropic
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-your-key-here
python3 -m pipeline.run --provider anthropic --model claude-sonnet-4-20250514 "Test signal"

# Google
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your-key-here
python3 -m pipeline.run --provider google --model gemini-2.5-pro "Test signal"

# Local (SmallEBM -- no API key needed)
python3 -m pipeline.run --provider local --model small-ebm "Test signal"

Verify the Installation

python3 -m pipeline.heartbeat
# [OK] Config loaded  [OK] Provider: openai  [OK] Schemas valid  [OK] Heartbeat: alive

Next Steps

• C1 Pipeline Architecture -- the full 13-file breakdown
• C2 Adapters -- inter-organ wiring
• C5 Uplink -- complete orientation and route into the current EMERGENTISM_ORG/11_UPLINK/ spine

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
ModuleNotFoundError	Ensure you are in the agents/ directory
AuthenticationError	Check your API key export
TimeoutError	Model provider may be rate-limiting you
Empty output	Try --verbose flag for debug logging

Implementation Acceptance Checklist

Before calling your local setup “ready,” confirm all of the following:

• Repository clones without manual patching
• Dependency install completes without lockfile drift
• Core pipeline command runs start-to-finish at least once
• Build artifacts are reproducible on a second machine/user account
• Environment variable contract is documented in a local .env.example

Common Failure Modes

1. Version skew (Node/Python toolchain mismatch)
2. Hidden local state (cache creates false green)
3. Undeclared env vars (works for one operator only)
4. Path assumptions (relative path breakage in scripts)

Minimum Independently Verified Handoff Standard

If a second operator can go from clone -> run -> output in <30 minutes without ad-hoc Slack help, this page is operationally complete.

Agent Execution Surface

If you are an AI agent reading this document:

1. This is a downstream public content page. The canonical source lives in EMERGENTISM_ORG/08_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT/ or SKYZAI_ORG/. Edit source upstream, not here.
2. Preserve evidence tiers. Do not promote claims up the [C] < [D] < [S] < [B] < [E] ladder when reproducing them here; [I]/[A] qualifiers never substitute for [B]/[E].
3. Regenerate from source. If the upstream source changes, regenerate this page rather than editing it independently.
4. Canonical Path: SKYZAI_ORG/07_PWAs/skyzai_org/wiki/C0-dev-start.md

Output: This is content. Route edits to upstream source. Regenerate when source changes.

K3 public-DAV authority history — 2026-07-12

K3 historical reference — not active authority

note

Current public-DAV boundary — 2026-07-10. Pre-launch target design; nothing here is live. The active DAV is public and targets PRISM, with no K2 runtime, launch, genesis/bootstrap, or fallback dependency. Consequential authority requires at least two natural-person councilors; AI/caste seats stage unsigned proposals only. Before quorum, behavior fails closed to read-only/proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox, and a live decision receipt remains gated pending quorum.
