World First

Novelty and superlative-claim guardrail for Claude Code + Grok — the moment a turn asserts a first/fastest/novel/record, it fires the invention discipline so the claim ships proven or scoped, never asserted.

World First is a Claude Code plugin for invention discipline and novelty-claim guardrails. A SessionStart hook primes the posture once. A UserPromptSubmit hook fires only when a turn actually makes a first/fastest/novel/record/"nobody has done this" claim — the moment overclaim risk appears — and stays silent otherwise. Detection is a claim-shape match in hooks/lib/detect.py; false positives cost one line, a miss lets an unproven "first" ship.

Built for AI-agent, research, and benchmarking workflows where a novelty or superlative claim must survive review before it is committed, published, or sent externally.

Install

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add 88plug/claude-code-plugins
/plugin install world-first@88plug

Grok Build

grok plugin marketplace add 88plug/claude-code-plugins
grok plugin install world-first@88plug --trust

No extra wiring: the hooks and the bundled world-first skill load automatically from the manifest. install.sh is a no-op that says so.

What it enforces

An invention is a measured delta past a confirmed limit, proven novel against a searched corpus, and reproducible by someone who is not you. The plugin makes each clause true before the word "first" is used.

  1. Confirmed limit first — entry is a measured wall, never a hunch.
  2. Removed-constraint test — if the claim beats an incumbent, prove the incumbent structurally cannot express the mechanism. If a lock/GIL-bound engine could express it too, it is not your first.
  3. Refute, then measure vs a tuned baseline — a fresh-context refuter, the incumbent's best config, ablate which element carries the win.
  4. Provenance search — no unsearched mechanism is called new; name the canonical prior art and scope the claim to the measured delta.
  5. Certify on a re-runnable artifact, not prose.

Kills the failure modes: unscoped superlative, reinventing prior art, solving a non-problem, novel-but-perf-neutral, premature-first-before-refute, strawman baseline.

Hooks

Hook Event What it does
prime.sh SessionStart Sets the invention-discipline posture once per session
nudge.sh UserPromptSubmit Fires only when a novelty/superlative/record claim appears

The skill

The full playbook is in the bundled world-first skill: TRIZ contradiction→separation ideation, the removed-constraint test with the dogma-mining move (mine incumbent issues/PRs/RFCs for admitted walls), the candidate-first template, the provenance protocol, and the certification ladder. It composes with scientific-method's invent.md and requires read-the-damn-docs before any API/kernel/FFI code.

Composes with

  • break-dogma — a broken dogma is often the incumbent's removed constraint (the wall to invent past).
  • scientific-method — the confirmed-limit entry and the measure-vs-tuned-baseline gate.
  • read-the-damn-docs — required before any API/kernel/FFI code in the build.
