Mission
Turn Holmes from product doctrine into a working CLI/service controller skeleton.
Context
PR #1 bootstraps Holmes as the language intelligence fabric. This issue adds the first executable surface.
Required commands
Implement a holmes CLI with:
holmes --version
holmes doctor
holmes self-test
holmes emit-evidence
holmes analyze <path>
holmes search <query>
holmes graph <path>
holmes govern <path>
Behavior
doctor validates examples/holmes-surface.json and reports integration readiness.
analyze accepts a text file and emits deterministic JSON with basic counts, language-surface placeholder metadata, and evidence fields.
search, graph, and govern may be deterministic stubs that report delegation targets and required integrations.
emit-evidence emits tool version, platform, repo, and validated Holmes surface refs.
Product boundaries
- Sherlock Search remains the discovery/retrieval engine.
- Holmes orchestrates language intelligence but does not embed every model or dataset.
- Local lab execution belongs in
SociOS-Linux/nlplab.
- Platform runtime graduation belongs in
SocioProphet/prophet-platform.
Acceptance criteria
make validate passes.
make build produces a local holmes binary or executable.
holmes --version, holmes doctor, and holmes analyze examples/sample.txt work.
- Tests cover example validation and deterministic analyze output.
- README documents Homebrew future path:
brew install holmes and façade path: prophet holmes ....
Out of scope
- Do not implement full retrieval engine here.
- Do not call remote models.
- Do not add heavyweight NLP dependencies in this first pass.
- Do not duplicate Sherlock Search internals.
