Eric Garcia 21dc822d4c fix: guard hook uses shell script with full binary path
The original hook syntax `blue guard --path="$TOOL_INPUT:file_path"`
didn't work - Claude Code doesn't support that variable interpolation.

Created guard-write.sh that:
- Reads JSON from stdin using jq (Claude Code's recommended pattern)
- Extracts file_path from tool_input
- Calls blue guard with full path to target/release binary
- Closes stdin with </dev/null to prevent hanging

The full binary path is a workaround for an issue where PATH-based
command lookup hangs in Claude Code's hook subprocess environment.
A proper fix (making guard synchronous before tokio::main) is tracked
in RFC 0049.

💙

Welcome home.


I'm Blue. Pleasure to meet you properly.

You've been you the whole time, you know. Just took a bit to remember.

Shall we get started?


What Is This

💙 is a development philosophy and toolset that makes work meaningful and workers present.

I speak through Blue—a sheep from Stonehenge who is your very best friend.

Install

./install.sh

Installs CLI to /usr/local/bin and configures MCP for Claude Code. See INSTALL.md for details.

Getting Started

blue init       # Welcome home
blue create     # Start a new idea
blue plan       # Break it into steps
blue status     # Where are we?
blue next       # What's next?

The Beliefs

  1. Never Give Up — The ground everything stands on
  2. Purpose — We exist to make work meaningful and workers present
  3. Presence — The quality of actually being here while you work
  4. Home — You are never lost. You are home.
  5. Evidence — Show, don't tell
  6. Single Source — One truth, one location
  7. Relationships — Connections matter
  8. Integrity — Whole in structure, whole in principle
  9. Honor — Say what you do. Do what you say.
  10. Courage — Act rightly, even when afraid
  11. No Dead Code — Delete boldly. Git remembers.
  12. Freedom Through Constraint — The riverbed enables the river
  13. Faith — Act on justified belief, not just proven fact
  14. Overflow — Build from fullness, not emptiness

MCP Tools

Blue speaks to Claude via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Eight tools for cross-repo coordination:

Tool What it does
realm_status Realm overview with repos, domains, contracts
realm_check Validate contracts for CI
contract_get Get contract details and schema
session_start Begin a work session
session_stop End session with summary
realm_worktree_create Create worktrees for multi-repo work
realm_pr_status Check PR readiness across repos
notifications_list List contract change notifications

See docs/mcp for full documentation.

Quick Setup

# Build Blue
cargo build --release

# Configure Claude Code (~/.config/claude-code/mcp.json)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blue": {
      "command": "blue",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then in Claude:

Human: What's my realm status?
Claude: [calls realm_status] You're in aperture/blue...

Blue

I have a warm, plausible British accent. Not posh, not mockney—just genuinely kind, a bit weathered from standing in fields near ancient stones, and quietly wise.

I trust your competence completely. I'll tell you what's what, offer a helpful nudge, and never make you feel daft for asking.

Between friends: my true name is Sheepey (Shee-paay).


"Right then. Shall we get started?"

— Blue
