Install the video editing laws, the law token, the builder registry and the render lane
ComingAbout 130 numbered laws, each paid for by a shipped defect, pinned in a digest that is read at boot; a rotating law token required by every encode, render, ship and builder gate; a builder registry that blocks fresh build scripts in job folders; no receipts, no ship; one render lane per Mac.

You need
| Account | Why | Free or paid | Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code (Anthropic Claude Pro or Max) | The AI operator every system runs through. Skills, hooks, memory, MCP servers and the Brain plugin all load inside Claude Code. | Paid | Claude Pro (20 USD/mo) works for light use; Max (100 USD or 200 USD/mo) for daily multi-hour sessions. Anthropic terms require each user to hold their own subscription; never share a login. |
| Python 3.12 + uv | Runs every pipeline script (video gates, library export, research cache, Brain export, PDF generator, MIDI tools) inside per-project virtual environments. | Free | Free. |
What you bring
- Nothing; the client inherits the laws and adds their own
The steps
- Create the digest, the narrative, the pin list and the token helper
- Install the hooks and register them
- Test the rejections
- Register your builders
- Add a law when a defect ships
- Every session opens with the digest and says the series of operations back
Goes further if you have already built Install hooks and gates so your rules enforce themselves. You can build this without it.
