AI Labeling System [AIR-3][AIS-3][BPC-3]

Table of Contents

IMPORTANT: This is the canonical and authoritative AI labeling documentation for Anya Core. Version: 3.1 (2025-05-30)

All other labeling documents are deprecated in favor of this standardized system. For migration details, see the Migration Guide section.

Overview

This document defines the standardized AI labeling system used throughout the Anya Core codebase, following official Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs). This system ensures all components are properly categorized for AI readiness, security, compliance, and other critical aspects.

Tag Format

AI tags follow a consistent bracket format: [XXX-N] where:

  • XXX is a 3-letter category code
  • N is a numeric level (0-3, with 3 being highest)

Example: [AIR-3][AIS-3][BPC-3]

function validateNetworkSecurity(config) {
    // Validate mempool monitoring
    assert(config.mempoolMonitoring.enabled, 'Mempool monitoring required');
    assert(config.mempoolMonitoring.threshold >= 100000, 
        'Mempool depth threshold too low');

    // Validate fee spike detection
    assert(config.feeSpikeDetection.enabled, 'Fee spike detection required');
    assert(config.feeSpikeDetection.percentageThreshold >= 200,
