Zulip Cogen Skill 🐸⚡

Trit: +1 (PLUS - Generator) GF(3) Triad: dynamic-sufficiency (-1) ⊗ proof-of-frog (0) ⊗ zulip-cogen (+1) = 0

Overview

Code generator from Category Theory Zulip knowledge base with dynamic sufficiency gating. Transforms 121k messages into executable artifacts only when sufficient context is verified via ε-machine coverage.

"No generation without sufficient witness. The ε-machine observes, the gate permits."

Example Generations

Proof Mode

Input: Discussion about "left adjoints preserve colimits"
Output:
```lean
theorem left_adjoint_preserves_colimits 
    {C D : Category} (F : Functor C D) (G : Functor D C)
    (adj : F ⊣ G) : PreservesColimits F := by
  intro J K c hc
  exact adj.leftAdjointPreservesColimits c hc

Diagram Mode

Input: "The Yoneda embedding is fully faithful"
Output:
```mermaid
graph LR
    C[C] -->|y| PSh["[Cᵒᵖ, Set]"]
    subgraph "Yoneda"
        y["y: C → Hom(-, C)"]
    end
    style y fill:#08bed5

Implementation Mode

Input: Discussion on "computing left Kan extensions"
Output:
```julia
function left_kan(F::Functor, K::Functor)
    # Lan_K(F)(d) = colim_{(c,k) ∈ (K↓d)} F(c)
    d -> begin
        comma = comma_category(K, d)
        colimit(c -> F(c.source), comma)
    end
end

Pipeline

class ZulipCogen:
    def __init__(self, db_path: str):
        self.db = duckdb.connect(db_path)
        self.gay_seed = 0x6761795f636f6c6f
    
    def generate(self, mode: str, query: str, **kwargs) -> str:
        # 1. Retrieve relevant messages
        context = self.retrieve(query, kwargs.get('pond'))
        
        # 2. Extract structure
        structure = self.extract_structure(context, mode)
        
        # 3. Generate artifact
        return self.synthesize(structure, mode, kwargs.get('lang'))
    
    def retrieve(self, query: str, pond: str = None) -> List[Message]:
        sql = """
            SELECT content, sender, color 
            FROM ct_zulip_messages m
            JOIN ct_zulip_streams s ON m.stream_id = s.id
            WHERE m.content LIKE ?
        """
        if pond:
            sql += " AND s.name LIKE ?"
        return self.db.execute(sql, params).fetchall()

Dynamic Sufficiency Integration

ε-Machine Gating

Before ANY generation, verify sufficient context:

def pre_generation_gate(query: str, mode: str) -> Verdict:
    """Gate generation on sufficient Zulip context."""
    messages = retrieve(query)
    coverage = compute_coverage(query, messages)
    
    if coverage.score >= 0.7:  # 70% threshold for generation
        return Verdict.PROCEED
    elif coverage.score >= 0.3:
        return Verdict.WARN(f"Low coverage: {coverage.score:.0%}")
    else:
        return Verdict.ABORT(f"Insufficient context: {len(messages)} msgs")

Causal States for Generation

Causal State	Required Coverage	Artifact
`PROOF_READY`	3+ math discussions	Lean4 theorem
`DIAGRAM_READY`	2+ structural mentions	Mermaid
`IMPL_READY`	5+ code references	Julia/Python
`SCHEMA_READY`	3+ type discussions	ACSet

Variational Bound

min(sufficiency) ≤ generation ≤ max(fanout)

dynamic-sufficiency GATES: Prevents generation without context
zulip-cogen GENERATES: Synthesizes artifacts from sufficient context

Frog Lifecycle as Cogen Pipeline

Stage	Trit	Cogen Phase	Sufficiency Check
🥒 TADPOLE	-1	Retrieve context	ε-machine inference
🐸 FROGLET	0	Extract structure	Coverage ≥ 0.7
🦎 MATURE	+1	Synthesize artifact	Generate if sufficient

Gay.jl Coloring

Each generation gets deterministic color based on query hash:

def generation_color(query: str, mode: str) -> str:
    h = fnv1a(f"{query}:{mode}")
    seed = splitmix64(GAY_SEED ^ h)
    return seed_to_color(seed)
