## ⚡ The Ironclad Proposition
Most AI-generated code is unmaintainable "vibe-coding" slop. **Ironclad** is the world's first **Autonomous Precision Layer** that forces LLMs to adhere to high-performance engineering standards (DDD, TDD, SPARC) with a mandatory **0.95 Truth Factor**.

## 🍱 The God-Tier Bento Box

| 🧠 Omni-Model Governance | 🛡️ Truth-First Audit | 🎨 Cinematic Design |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| One set of mandates for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and Gemini. | Real-time "Slop Detection" and hallucination termination. | Integrated MCPs for high-end MagicUI/Shadcn components. |
| **[Learn More](./docs/ORCHESTRATION.md)** | **[View Metrics](./docs/SCORING.md)** | **[See Components](./docs/DESIGN.md)** |

| 📉 Context Compression | 🤖 Swarm Orchestration | 💾 AgentDB Memory |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Save 32% in tokens with "Caveman Mode" AST stripping. | 15-agent hierarchical mesh for parallel task execution. | Persistent, HNSW-indexed business memory for amnesia-free AI. |

## 🎬 See It In Action
![Ironclad Demo GIF](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scream687/Ironclad-Master-Framework/main/assets/demo_god_tier.gif)
*Watch Ironclad detect a hallucination, activate the Escape Protocol, and self-correct to a 1.00 ⭐ Truth Score.*

## 🚀 Quickstart

Install the global engine and "Ironclad" any project in seconds.

```bash
# Install globally
npm install -g ironclad-master-framework

# Initialize framework in your current repo
ironclad init

# Start the MCP server for your AI assistant
ironclad mcp
```

## 🏛️ The God-Tier Operational Loop (MANDATORY)

Every task MUST progress through the **Universal Synthesis Loop**. Failure to comply results in terminal slop rejection.

1.  **Understand**: Map architectural dependencies via `Understand-Anything`.
2.  **Plan**: Draft strategic SPARC specifications in `plans/`.
3.  **Delegate**: Spawn parallel agent swarms for multi-file implementation.
4.  **Implement**: Apply cinematic frontend standards & Karpathy-simplicity logic.
5.  **Verify**: Autonomous visual QA and Truth Factor validation.

## 🛠️ Global Command Center

| Command | Action |
| :--- | :--- |
| `ironclad audit` | Run a cinematic Truth Score verification on your codebase. |
| `ironclad plan` | Generate a strategic SPARC specification for any goal. |
| `ironclad brainstorm` | Access the Intelligence Hub for creative strategic ideation. |
| `ironclad mcp` | Launch the Model Context Protocol server for AI assistant integration. |
| `ironclad upgrade` | Perform self-evolution (Audit -> Distill -> Upgrade). |
