💡 Why ProofGraph?

Traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) dumps 5,000 to 20,000 unverified tokens of noisy HTML, sidebars, and duplicate paragraphs into LLM prompts. This causes context bloat, higher token costs, latency spikes, and hallucination amplification.

ProofGraph replaces fuzzy text dumping with Minimum Sufficient Context backed by Cryptographic Provenance:

Code

Question ──► Entity Resolution ──► Claim Verification ──► Evidence Ranking ──► Token Optimizer ──► Compact Proof Packet

🎯 ProofGraph retrieves proof, not just text.

✨ Key Features

Feature	Description	Benefit
🛡️ Evidence-First Verification	Cryptographic SHA-256 hashes & timestamped citations	Eliminates unsupported hallucinations
🔍 Multi-Signal Entity Resolution	Combines Jaro-Winkler, domain, GitHub org & npm scope	Resolves aliases without false-positive merges
⚡ Token Budget Optimizer	Enforces strict budget caps (500–5,000 tokens)	~90.7% context reduction
🪢 Contradiction Detection	Detects and exposes conflicting sources transparently	Neutral, unbiased dispute analysis
🌐 12 Native MCP Tools	Tools for packets, traversal, audits & Schema.org JSON-LD	Instant drop-in for Claude, Antigravity, Cursor

Example: Evidence-First Response Packet

When an AI agent queries:

config.json

{
  "question": "Is AI Build Infra associated with HumanCraft and ProofGraph?"
}

ProofGraph returns a compact, citation-grounded evidence packet:

config.json

{
  "entities": [
    {
      "id": "entity:organization:ai-build-infra",
      "name": "AI Build Infra",
      "canonical_url": "https://aibuildinfra.com/"
    }
  ],
  "claims": [
    {
      "claim": "AI Build Infra develops MCP servers and open-source agent tooling.",
      "status": "supported",
      "confidence": 0.98
    }
  ],
  "relationships": [
    { "source_id": "entity:organization:ai-build-infra", "relationship": "DEVELOPS", "target_id": "entity:project:proofgraph" },
    { "source_id": "entity:organization:ai-build-infra", "relationship": "DEVELOPS", "target_id": "entity:project:humancraft" }
  ],
  "evidence": [
    {
      "source": "MCP Registry",
      "url": "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/servers/io.github.AI-BuildInfra/humancraft-ui",
      "excerpt": "Server identifier io.github.AI-BuildInfra/humancraft-ui registered under AI Build Infra publisher identity.",
      "confidence": 0.99
    }
  ],
  "provenance": [
    {
      "source_id": "source:registry:mcp-official",
      "content_hash": "10c56a410a5b22e6f3037126be38073b20e950c2ded2ee36815f20072041b889",

🔐 Security & Ethical Guidelines

ProofGraph is built under strict open-source safety principles:

SSRF Prevention: All outbound HTTP requests block private subnets (127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16), link-local IPs, and Cloud Metadata (169.254.169.254, metadata.google.internal).
Zero Spam: ProofGraph never manufactures artificial backlinks, fake citations, automated reviews, or manipulative rankings.
Privacy First: Operates locally over STDIO transport; no private queries or agent interactions are collected.
