SYNAPSE Context Engine

Overview

SYNAPSE (Synkra Adaptive Processing & State Engine) is the unified context engine for AIOX. It injects contextual rules into every prompt via an 8-layer processing pipeline, adapting to context window usage through bracket-aware filtering.

What it does:

• Injects rules per-prompt via Claude Code's UserPromptSubmit hook
• Processes 8 layers (L0 Constitution through L7 Star-Commands) sequentially
• Adapts injection volume based on context brackets (FRESH/MODERATE/DEPLETED/CRITICAL)
• Integrates with agent state (active agent, workflow, task, squad)
• Outputs <synapse-rules> XML block appended to each prompt

What it replaces: SYNAPSE replaces the legacy CARL system with full feature parity plus 8 new capabilities including agent-scoped domains, workflow activation, and CRUD management commands.

Architecture model: Open Core — the 8-layer engine lives in aiox-core (open source), memory integration is feature-gated in aiox-pro.
