instr-core: a safety layer between AI agents and SCPI instruments

instr-core checks each SCPI command an agent plans against the instrument's schema and dry-runs the plan before anything touches hardware. Checks cover ranges, compliance settings, output state and command order, and real VISA runs need explicit confirmation. The first workflows are IV sweeps on a Keithley 2600, one paired with a DMM6500. The README shows no measurements.

Briefing

Each instrument's limits live in YAML or JSON schemas instead of a PDF manual the model has to read. instr-core parses a request such as a 0 to 5 V sweep with 10 mA compliance into a structured plan, validates it, and fails closed when no trusted schema matches the connected instrument.

The same core is exposed through MCP, a FastAPI service and a Tauri desktop app. Agent plans start in dry-run mode, and execution needs both a confirmation flag and a valid dry-run result. The project is marked pre-release.
