CIC — Compact Instruction Compiler

The first prompt compiler: compact, lint, fuzz, and scan instruction files for malware before they reach your agents.

CIC turns verbose Markdown instruction files into compact, verifiable programs. It parses .md into a line-oriented PIR intermediate, compiles back to compact .md, and runs security, lint, and semantic regression checks before install. The pipeline detects prompt injection, stealth directives, exfiltration, leaked secrets, XSS, malware, untrusted external instructions, and over-privileged commands mapped to the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10. It validates frontmatter, heading structure, naming conventions, and CommonMark syntax across skills, workflows, abilities, rules, memories, plans, and AGENTS.md. A native `cic` executable and Linux system command are scheduled for release by end of week.

The native `cic` executable and Linux system command are scheduled to ship by the end of this week. Pre-order now to lock in the $19.99/mo per-seat rate, get lifetime updates, weekly rule drops, and early access to the PIR toolchain.

How It Works

Scan

Run cic-sec and cic-lint over any markdown instruction file or directory.

Parse

Lower .md into PIR with frontmatter, headings, bullets, code, and tables preserved.

Compile

Emit compact .md or transform PIR to other agent instruction targets.

Guard

Verify frontmatter, code blocks, command tokens, and paths are unchanged.

Install

Write the compact, verified output back to the source tree.

Market comparison

Prompt security and compression are usually split across separate tools. Open-source linters and scanners are free but require custom integration. Cloud prompt-security APIs such as Prompt Armor or Lakera charge $0.001-$0.01 per request, which scales quickly for agent teams. A dedicated compiler with a predictable per-seat license typically runs $20-$50/month for small teams and $100+/seat/month for enterprise with audit logs and SSO.
