rcf-cli 2.0.1

RCF Ghost Shield — Active Protection Framework (Python Edition)

RCF Ghost Shield — Python Edition 🛡️🐍

The official Python Command Line Interface for the RCF (Restricted Correlation Framework) Protocol v2.0.1 "Ghost 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 using cryptographic integrity chains.

Installation

Install via PyPI:

pip install rcf-cli

Features

• Ghost Shield Protection: Active enforcement of RCF-PL v2.0.1 standards across your codebase.
• Project Initialization: Instantly generate NOTICE.md and .rcfignore files to protect your project.
• Automated Scanning: Quickly scan projects for RCF compliance and extract Ghost Markers.
• Header Validation: Ensure files have the required NOTICE: This file is protected under RCF-PL v2.0.1 header.
• RCF-Audit v2.0.1: Generate cryptographically signed compliance reports for enterprise auditing.
• Integrity Chains: Compare current file hashes and Ghost Markers against an audit report to detect unauthorized modifications, tampering, or "Void Shell" imitations.

CLI Usage

1. Initialize RCF Ghost Shield in your project

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

rcf-ghost-shield init --project "My awesome app" --author "Aladdin Aliyev"

2. Scan your project

# Scan the current directory
rcf-ghost-shield .

# Output scan results as JSON
rcf-ghost-shield . --format json

# Print summary only
rcf-ghost-shield . --summary

3. Generate an RCF-Audit Report (v2.0.1)

# Provide license key via flag
rcf-ghost-shield audit . --license-key RCF-AUDIT-XXXX-XXXX

# Or use environment variable
export RCF_LICENSE_KEY=RCF-AUDIT-XXXX-XXXX
rcf-ghost-shield audit .

4. Verify Project Integrity

Compare current files with the latest audit report:

rcf-ghost-shield verify .

# Show summary only
rcf-ghost-shield verify . --summary

Markers Reference

RCF uses semantic markers to define protection levels. 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:GHOST:HASH] — New in v2.0.1: Cryptographic marker for active integrity verification.

Example header for protected files:

# NOTICE: This file is protected under RCF-PL v2.0.1
# [RCF:PROTECTED]
# [RCF:GHOST:6A...F3]
