rcf-cli 1.2.1

A command-line tool for RCF protocol compliance verification.

RCF Protocol — Python CLI & SDK

The official Python Command Line Interface for the RCF (Restricted Correlation Framework) Protocol.

RCF is an author-defined licensing protocol designed to protect intellectual property in the age of automated extraction and AI/ML mass replication. It creates a clear legal and technical boundary between Visibility and Usage Rights.

Installation

Install via PyPI:

pip install rcf-cli

Features

• Project Initialization: Instantly generate NOTICE.md and .rcfignore files to protect your project.
• Automated Scanning: Quickly scan projects for RCF compliance and extract markers.
• Header Validation: Ensure files have the required NOTICE: This file is protected under RCF-PL v1.1 header.

CLI Usage

1. Initialize RCF in your project

Run this in your project's root directory to generate the legal notice:

rcf-cli init --project "My awesome app" --author "John Doe"

2. Scan your project

# Scan the current directory
rcf-cli .

# Output scan results as JSON
rcf-cli . --format json

# Print summary only
rcf-cli . --summary

Markers Reference

RCF uses semantic markers to define protection levels at the block or file level. Place these inside code comments:

• [RCF:PUBLIC] — Architecture and public concepts. Safe to discuss.
• [RCF:PROTECTED] — Core methodology. Visible but not replicable.
• [RCF:RESTRICTED] — Highly sensitive implementation. Minimal rights.
• [RCF:NOTICE] — Triggers requirement for adjacent legal notice.

Example header for protected files:

# NOTICE: This file is protected under RCF-PL v1.1
# [RCF:PROTECTED]
