CLAUDE.md saturation curve ​

Project(s) touched: all (crescent's 98 commits / 60 days is the canonical signal); tooling fits github-io introspection

Status: Open — measurable but unmeasured

Surfaced in: docs/automated-introspection/investigations/2026-05-20-whats-wrong/synthesis.md, "What we still don't know" — "no measurement of whether commits-per-violation is rising (saturating) or falling (still mining)"

The question ​

Across the ecosystem, is CLAUDE.md churn approaching saturation (the rule set converging on the implicit-constraint set) or still mining (new rules per violation isn't falling)?

Why this is a registry thread ​

The measurement crosses every repo, and the tooling to compute it fits github-io's introspection layer. The answer tells us whether the rule-accretion process is converging or open-ended.

What's still open ​

  • No metric for commits-per-violation over time.
  • Needs a detector that joins CLAUDE.md commits to the violations that triggered them.

Working answer ​

None — unmeasured.
