tension-detect

Detect contradictions in your AI rules and generate judgment boundaries.

Your CLAUDE.md says "Write readable code" AND "Keep it DRY." Which one wins?

tension-detect finds the contradictions and helps you define when each rule applies.

Install

pip install tension-detect

Usage

MCP Server (recommended)

claude mcp add tension-detect -- python -m tension_detect.server

Then ask your AI: "Analyze my CLAUDE.md for contradictions and generate judgment boundaries"

CLI (detection only)

tension-detect .claude/CLAUDE.md

How it works

Most tools detect contradictions and try to resolve them. tension-detect turns them into judgment boundaries:

Rule A: "Write readable code"
Rule B: "Keep it DRY"
  -> Boundary: 3 lines or less -> readability. More -> DRY.
  -> Signal: Count the duplicated lines.

Architecture

Zero-LLM server. The MCP server does detection. The client LLM generates boundaries at zero cost.
