# Jyotish Vedic Astrology — AI-Native Full-Reading System

> **What makes this different:** This is not a calculator. It is an AI-native Jyotish analysis system that combines calculation engines, interpretive workflows, confidence auditing, and graceful degradation — organized into a reproducible full-reading pipeline.

## What Is This

This is a **Vedic (Jyotish) astrology analysis system** designed for deep, auditable full-chart readings. It is NOT a simple ephemeris calculator — it is a multi-stage interpretive pipeline that:

1. **Computes** divisional charts (D1/D9/D10/...) via Swiss Ephemeris
2. **Runs** 44+ techniques (Dashas, Yogas, Shadbala, Ashtakavarga, Transits...)
3. **Routes** the analysis through strict workflow paths depending on question type (career / relationship / wealth / timing)
4. **Audits** every technique used — declaring what was called, what was partial, what was missing, and how that affects confidence
5. **Degrades gracefully** — partial techniques are labeled, not silently over-promising

### Key Differentiators (vs. PyJHora / VedAstro / Maitreya)

## Core Workflow

### Three Input Paths

| Path | Input | Behavior |
|------|-------|----------|
| **A: Precise birth data** | Date + time + coordinates | Full `full-reading` engine |
| **B: PDF / text chart** | Scanned chart or description | Extract → Quality Gate → route to A |
| **C: Uncertain birth time** | "Don't know my birth time" | Interactive birth time rectification |

### Eight-Stage Pipeline

```
Stage -1: Question-type routing (career / relationship / wealth / timing)
Stage 0:  Input routing (A / B / C)
Stage 1:  (B only) PDF extraction + Quality Gate
Stage 2:  Intent recognition → target house routing
Stage 3:  Static analysis (10 steps)
Stage 4:  Dynamic timing (7 steps)
Stage 5:  Timing output (5-layer verification)
Stage 6:  Remedial measures (optional)
Stage 7:  Modern language packaging
Stage 8:  Technique Audit Table (mandatory)
```

**Strict Workflow Router** (`references/strict-workflow-router.md`):
- Career questions → `career-timing-strict`
- Relationship questions → `relationship-timing-strict`
- Wealth questions → `wealth-timing-strict`
- Event timing → `event-timing-strict`
- Historical verification → `event-verification-strict`

The AI does NOT require the user to name techniques (e.g., "Chara Dasha"). It auto-selects based on question type.

## Why This Exists (Competitive Context)

### The Landscape

| Project | Type | Strength | Weakness |
|---------|------|----------|-----------|
| **PyJHora** | Calculation library | Strongest traditional algorithm coverage (50+ Dashas, 284 Yogas) | No interpretive pipeline; user must interpret results themselves |
| **VedAstro** | API / Web platform | 200+ endpoints, Docker, MCP Server, MIT license | Interpretive audit & confidence labeling weaker |
| **Maitreya** | Desktop software | Mature cross-platform GUI | Jyotish depth not as deep as specialized projects |
| **jyotisha** | Panchanga / calendar | Excellent Panchanga accuracy | Not a full reading system |
| **This project** | AI-native analysis system | Full pipeline + audit + degradation | Pure calculation accuracy still being benchmarked |

### Our Position

> **PyJHora is the calculator. VedAstro is the API platform. Maitreya is the desktop software. This project is the "AI-native Jyotish research analyst."**

We are NOT trying to out-calculate PyJHora (it has years of lead). Our value is in:
1. Organizing calculations into a **reproducible interpretive workflow**
2. **Auditing** every technique used and declaring confidence
3. **Degrading gracefully** — partial techniques are labeled, not silently over-promising
4. Being **AI-native** — designed for integration with LLM-based analysis

---

## Honest Assessment

We believe in transparency about limitations. This is NOT a "99% accurate" system, and anyone claiming that about Jyotish is over-selling.

### Current Accuracy Estimates (self-evaluated)

| Dimension | Score | Notes |
|-----------|-------|-------|
| Astronomical foundation (Swiss Eph) | 8.5/10 | Depends on ayanamsa, node mode, house system |
| Traditional algorithm accuracy | 7.3/10 | Chara Dasha & Shadbala need external calibration |
| Technique coverage breadth | 8.6/10 | 44 techniques, broad but not deepest |
| Reading detail depth | 9.6/10 | Possibly best among open-source projects |
| Prediction workflow rigor | 8.8/10 | Strict routing + audit table |
| Verification system | 8.2/10 | Has registry, benchmark, degradation; some verification still internal |
| Engineering maturity | 6.8/10 | Functional, but not productized (no Docker / PyPI / CI yet) |
| Open-source influence | 5.5/10 | Currently more of a "private high-density toolkit" |

### What "Partial" Means (Important)

When a technique is labeled `partial`:
- It CAN produce output
- The output has NOT been benchmarked against PyJHora / JHora / canonical texts
- It should be used as **auxiliary reference only**
- It must NOT be the sole basis for high-confidence predictions

Examples:
- `Shadbala` (partial): Internal invariants pass (1200/1200). External absolute values NOT calibrated. Use for relative strength ranking only.
- `Chara Dasha` (partial): ~24% match with PyJHora KN Rao method. Do NOT use for precise timing.

---

## Project Status

**Current version:** `v6.1.10-dk-rtn-theme-bridge`

### Recently Completed

- `v6.1.10` — Darakaraka deep reader wired into `full-reading.modules.jaimini.darakaraka`; thematic reports now consume real DK and Rashi Tulya Navamsa evidence.
- `v6.1.9` — Public/sanitized benchmark suite, competitive research, coverage roadmap and PDF validation methodology added.
- `v6.1.8` — Yoga validation reached F1=95.22% (FP=36, FN=63); thematic reports consume real `full-reading.modules` evidence.
- `v6.1.6` — Five-system Dasha convergence wired into full-reading (Vimshottari + Chara + Yogini + Ashtottari + Kalachakra).
- `v6.0.11` — Shadbala internal invariant validation (1200/1200 pass); downgraded to `partial`.

### Actively Working On (P0)

1. **Chara Dasha rewrite** — align with PyJHora KN Rao method (target: ≥95% match)
2. **Shadbala external calibration** — align with JHora / PyJHora / BV Raman
3. **Darakaraka / RTN external benchmark** — v6.1.10 has wired the modules; next step is traditional case validation and evidence ranking
4. **KP Sub-Lord full implementation** — unequal Vimshottari subdivisions
5. **Bhava Chalit complete** — cusp-based planet reassignment
6. **Sudarshana Chakra traditional** — Sun/Moon/Lagna reference points

### Next (P1)

- Benchmark harness (PyJHora output comparison)
- English documentation completion
- Docker image
- MCP Server endpoint
- GitHub Actions CI

## Development

### Running the Test Suite

```bash
# Syntax check all scripts
python3 -m py_compile scripts/*.py

# Capability audit (must pass with 0 problems, 0 warnings)
python3 scripts/audit_capabilities.py --mode validate

# Full-reading regression test (use FICTIONAL data only)
python3 scripts/jyotish_engine.py full-reading \
  --year 1990 --month 6 --day 15 \
  --hour 10 --minute 30 \
  --lat 39.9042 --lon 116.4074 --tz 8 \
  --age 36 \
  --transit-date 2026-06-04
```

### Important Rules

1. **NEVER** put real user birth data into skill files, tests, CHANGELOG, or public repos
2. Use only: (a) public AA-rated celebrity data, (b) explicitly fictional smoke tests, (c) current-session data (never persisted)
3. Always run `git status --short --branch` before starting work
4. Always run `py_compile` + `audit_capabilities.py` + full-reading regression after modifications
5. Do NOT upgrade `partial` to `covered` without external benchmark evidence
6. Do NOT refactor arbitrarily; make minimal verifiable changes
