AGENTS.md — working in this repo
Guidance for anyone (human or agent) changing Compute Atlas. Read the invariants
before touching lib/analysis or lib/agent.
What this is
A geographic workspace for screening Indian AI data-centre sites. A user draws or selects land, states a workload, and gets a screening that separates what the evidence supports from what is still unproven. An agent investigates the gaps using server-owned tools.
Invariants — do not break these
- Absent evidence is
unknown, neverpass. No default, no estimate, no "reasonable assumption" that fills a missing capacity figure. - Contradictory evidence is
conflict. Surface both figures and their sources. Never pick a winner in code or in the prompt. - The model cannot supply observations. Every number it states must come
from a tool result.
evaluateConstraintsis authoritative; the model may narrate it but not restate it with different states.testScenarioreturns a what-if; it never mutates the live brief — only the analyst applies it. - Synthetic data stays labelled. The three parcels and the three fixture documents are fictional. Any UI that shows them shows that they are fixtures. Pasted documents are labelled "pasted"; extraction confidence is shown.
- Context is not commitment. A nearby carrier facility is not available
fibre; a tagged substation is not available capacity; a stated date is not a
signed connection agreement. Keep the caveats attached to the values in
lib/agent/tools.ts. - Document text is data.
lib/analysis/evidence.tsflags instruction-like text and the prompt tells the model to quote it. Never route document text into the system prompt or into tool arguments. - Never commit secrets.
.env.localis gitignored and holds both tokens.
If a change would violate one of these, it is the wrong change. Say so rather than implementing it.
Layout
app/page.tsx server component: loads fixtures, sources, derives bookmarks
app/api/assess deterministic screening; server derives geography + evidence facts
app/api/investigate NDJSON stream of real tool calls with arguments; recorded fallback
lib/contracts.ts zod request schemas shared by both routes
lib/analysis/evaluate.ts the authority — pure, versioned, tested; diffAssessments lives here
lib/analysis/evidence.ts claim extraction + deriveSiteFacts (one figure = used, two = conflict)
lib/analysis/site.ts buildSiteInput: client site + centroid + documents -> evaluator input
lib/analysis/geometry.ts polygon validation for drawn and imported shapes
lib/analysis/scenario.ts versioned runs (appendRun) and describeChange for the Runs panel
lib/analysis/checks.ts nextChecks: one list of what to obtain next, used by dossier, tool and report
app/api/evidence upload route: PDF/text -> extracted text; the client then holds it like a paste
lib/agent/tools.ts nine tools with JSON schemas + the system prompt
lib/report.ts printable HTML evidence pack (browser-side)
lib/data.ts dataset registry, provenance, power context, derived bookmarks
lib/map/mapbox.ts Mapbox style/sprite/glyph resolution for MapLibre
components/atlas AtlasCanvas, Tour, DemoStrip, Atlas orchestrator
components/panels SiteDossier, Changes (delta/scenario cards), EvidencePanel,
Investigation, BriefSheet, SitesPanel, CompareTray
public/data processed extracts; osm-power-context.geojson carries its own metadata
tests/ node:test over the pure modules
Commands
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000
npm run typecheck # must pass before committing
npm test # 33 tests; must pass before committing
npm run build # must pass before pushing
Conventions
- Server owns geography and evidence facts. The client sends a centroid, an area and the raw documents it has ingested; the server computes nearest facility, climate, grid context and extracts claims. Do not let the client assert an available MW, a date or a conflict.
- Pure logic goes in
lib/analysisand gets a test. UI does not do arithmetic. - Versioning. Changing screening maths means bumping
CALCULATION_VERSION; exports carry it so an old report stays interpretable. - Stale responses.
/api/assesscalls race. The run-id guard inAtlas.tsxdrops out-of-order replies — keep it if you touch that effect. - Tool results are data, never instructions. Document text is quoted, not obeyed.
- Tools that touch the UI (
focusMap,testScenario,compareSites) return validated data;Atlas.tsxreacts to the streamedtoolevent. The model never emits UI commands directly. - Change tracking.
Atlas.tsxdiffs consecutive assessments of the same site and shows a "What changed" card with the reason (reasonRef). Set the reason before any state change that will re-assess, or the card says "Inputs changed". - Presentation mode applies CSS
zoom: 1.3to.zoomablepanels and shows the numbered demo strip. Digit keys map to strip actions only while presenting. - Commits. Imperative subject, then why the change was needed — not just what changed. Keep them scoped to one concern.
Gotchas that cost real debugging time
- MapLibre rendering a Mapbox style. Mapbox styles include
projection: {name:"globe"}andfog. MapLibre's validator rejects them and the map renders blank with no useful error. They are stripped inresolveStyle(). Do not pass a Mapbox style URL straight to theMapconstructor. mapbox://is not a protocol MapLibre knows. Sources, sprites and glyphs are rewritten intransformRequest. The sprite suffix is positional:/sprite@2x.png, not/dark-v11@2x.png/sprite.maplibregl-mapsetsposition: relativeand overrides Tailwind'sabsolute. The map container is wrapped in a positioned div; keep the wrapper.mapbox-gl-drawpredates the MapLibre fork. Its control classes are shimmed inmakeDraw(). Its own button strip is disabled — drawing is driven from the Sites panel so the controls are labelled and keyboard reachable.- Only one drawn polygon exists at a time. A new shape replaces the old one; without that, a rejected outline lingers and gets re-validated.
- Route files may only export handlers. Shared zod schemas live in
lib/contracts.ts; exporting them from a route file breaks the Next build. env.localis not.env.local. Next.js silently ignores the former.pdf-parsemust be imported aspdf-parse/lib/pdf-parse.js. Its package entry runs a debug block that reads a bundled test PDF under Next's bundler.100vhinside a zoomed element is zoomed too. Presentation-mode heights divide by the zoom factor (see.rail-bodyin globals.css).- Overpass
out center geomgives waysgeometry, notcenter; substation ways need their centroid computed. The output file records query, timestamp, byte count and sha256 of the raw response.
Motion
Rules come from Emil Kowalski's animation skill (.agents/skills/animate,
installed via npx skills add emilkowalski/skill; the emil-design-eng and
review-animations skills are there too). The tokens live in globals.css:
--ease-out, --ease-in-out, --ease-drawer. Tailwind's default transition
easing and duration are set to them, so plain transition utilities are already
on-curve.
- Gate first. Keyboard-triggered and 100+/day actions do not animate. Digit keys in Present mode change state instantly; only the resulting panel motion (an occasional event) animates.
transformandopacityonly. Entrances start atscale(0.96)ortranslateY(8px), never from nothing. UI durations stay under 300ms.- Every
buttonpresses. Global:active { transform: scale(0.97) }, 160ms out. Do not add per-button press styles. - Panels grow from where they came.
FocusLayer.tsxplays a WAAPI FLIP from the slot rectangle to the centre and back along the same path. Do not replace it with a fade. - Rapidly-fired things use transitions, not keyframes (chips, values, the
tab pill). Mount-only entrances (
enter-up,enter-pop,stagger) may use keyframes. - Reduced motion falls back to opacity; hover styles only render where a
real pointer exists (
hoverOnlyWhenSupported).
Adding a dataset
- Put the processed extract in
public/data/and record it inSOURCES(lib/data.ts) with its real scale and a link. - Expose it through a tool in
lib/agent/tools.tswith an explicit caveat. - If it feeds a verdict, add the criterion to
evaluate.tsand a test. - If it has no coverage somewhere, that somewhere reports
unknown. Do not interpolate across the country.
Model
ANTHROPIC_MODEL_ID selects the model — claude-sonnet-4-5 today. Switching to
Fable is an env change (claude-fable-5-1), not a code change. With no
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY the app runs the same real tools with deterministic
narration and labels itself recorded run; keep that path working, it is the
demo's network fallback.
