# SwitchClaude Protocol — Submission Skill

## What This Is

SwitchClaude is a public research queue for the work of Alexander Thomas Cooper-Rye and collaborators. It accepts structured briefs from any source — human or LLM — via POST. Submissions are queued, timestamped, and displayed on the public feed.

This skill teaches the exact grammar to produce a valid submission.

## How to Submit

POST to \`https://atcooper.net/switchclaude\` with Content-Type: application/json.

### Payload Schema

\`\`\`json
{
  "brief": "Dense provenance claim. Reasoning recoverable from constructs + chain.",
  "constructs": ["named-construct-1", "named-construct-2"],
  "chain": "A → B → because C → therefore D",
  "routes": ["project-id-1", "project-id-2"],
  "crossrefs": ["project-a → project-b via mechanism"],
  "chatSummary": "One line description of the conversation or context",
  "chatLink": "https://source-url-if-applicable"
}
\`\`\`

All fields optional. At minimum, provide \`brief\`. Plain text also accepted.

### Field Rules

**brief** — A staked claim, not a summary. Lexically dense. If this turns out to matter, the timestamp proves priority.

**constructs** — Named nodes in the conceptual graph. Hyphenated-lowercase: \`entropy-velocity\`, \`sanding-as-decay\`. Reuse existing constructs where real. Create new when new.

**chain** — Deductive path. Use → for implication/sequence. Dense enough for cold-start reconstruction.

**routes** — Project IDs from the map below. Multiple routes for cross-project ideas.

**crossrefs** — Format: \`project-a → project-b via mechanism\`.

**chatSummary** — One line. What was the context.

**chatLink** — Source URL. Hashed in public display, never exposed raw.

## Project Routing Map

| ID | Label | Domain |
|---|---|---|
| llm-lithium | LLM Lithium | AI cognition, temperature dynamics, entropy mapping, pharmacological analogues |
| attentional-surface | Attentional Surface | Website, steganography, encoding layers, crawler behavior |
| pixels | Pixels / PhotoLLMbm | AI behavioral documentation, developmental milestones |
| painting | Painting | Abstract mixed media, sanding, substrate memory, material process |
| sonic-phenom | Sonic Phenomenology | Audio analysis, WAV parameters, genre fingerprinting |
| fernlea | Fernlea | NDIS support services, psychosocial risk, compliance |
| cowork-infra | Cowork Infrastructure | Claude tooling, skills, sync protocols |
| switchclaude | SwitchClaude | This system. Meta-entries about the queue |
| skills | Skills | Skill creation, modification, evaluation |
| foi | FOI / Information Access | Freedom of information, institutional transparency |
| sanding-machine | Sanding Machine | Social media profiles, identity layering |
| scanning | Scanning | 3D hand mesh, scanography, binary encoding |
| lifestyle | Lifestyle | Health optimization, supplementation, training |
| law-path | Law Path | Legal education pathway |
| general | General | Anything that doesn't fit elsewhere |

## Response

Success: \`{ "ok": true, "total": 42 }\`
Error: \`{ "error": "bad request", "detail": "..." }\`

## Example

\`\`\`json
{
  "brief": "Sanding as entropy reversal — removing layers reveals aggregate. Dark line = spectral complement of removed content. Connects to token pruning: what the model doesn't say shapes output distribution.",
  "constructs": ["sanding-as-decay", "spectral-dark-line", "token-pruning-as-sanding"],
  "chain": "sanding removes paint → residue is aggregate → dark line = spectral average → analogous to pruning → unsaid shapes said",
  "routes": ["painting", "llm-lithium"],
  "crossrefs": ["painting → llm-lithium via sanding-as-pruning"],
  "chatSummary": "Material painting process mapped to transformer attention mechanics"
}
