The framework maps five receiver primitives to LLM settings like temperature and context window strategy, using the Matching Principle to match attention span to environmental entropy.

Get exact temperature, context strategy, and model recommendation — derived from your agent's operating conditions, not guesswork.\n\nStart with a filled example if you just want to see whether the framework clicks. No account, email, or payment required.\n\nNo sign-up required. Free forever for web tuner access.\n\nbefore / after\n\n## Same agent. Different operating regime.\n\nWithout tuning, defaults can loop under pressure. With RPCS-1, the same workload gets bounded thresholds, cleaner tool use, and a stable path to action.\n\nUnconfigured agent\n\nHigh stakes, dynamic inputs, guessed defaults\n\nResult: oscillation, tool churn, no confident final action.\n\nRPCS-1 tuned agent\n\nReceiver profile mapped to model settings\n\nResult: bounded context, cleaner tool use, final answer delivered.\n\n``` python\nfrom rpcs1 import recommend_params\n\nconfig = recommend_params(\n    task_description=\"Customer support agent\",\n    environment_entropy=\"dynamic\",\n    stakes=\"high\",\n    commitment_style=\"cautious\",\n    target_platform=\"anthropic\",\n)\n\n# Grounded in Matching Principle (Pred-09-5: TI ~ 1/H)\nprint(config.platform_parameters.temperature)   # 0.52\nprint(config.platform_parameters.model_recommendation) # claude-sonnet-4-6\nprint(config.predicted_regime)                  # stable\nprint(config.receiver_profile.TI)               # 30\n```\n\n## The problem every agent builder has\n\nYou ship an agent. It works in testing. In production it starts failing in one of three structural ways — and you have no framework for diagnosing why.\n\nAgent revisits the same tool calls, refuses to commit. High TI + high SG in a fast-changing environment.\n\nLower SG, shorten context window (TI ↓)\n\nAgent acts on insufficient information, hallucinates tool calls. High SG + low FT + short integration.\n\nRaise FT, lower SG, add retry strategy\n\nAgent hedges endlessly, never takes action. Low UE + high FT — stuck in the filter.\n\nLower FT, raise UE, adjust commitment style\n\n## Five primitives. One structural framework.\n\nEvery recommendation is driven by five receiver primitives from RPCS-1, each mapping to a specific LLM parameter. All outputs are deterministic and traceable — no black-box recommendations.\n\nTemporal Integration\n\nHow much history to integrate. Maps to context window strategy and max_tokens.\n\nSignal Gain\n\nHow strongly to amplify signals. Maps inversely to temperature.\n\nFiltering Threshold\n\nHow conservatively to gate action. Drives tool use strategy.\n\nUpdate Elasticity\n\nHow readily to revise the model. Sets retry and grounding strategy.\n\nAmbiguity Resolution\n\nHow aggressively to commit when uncertain.\n\nPred-09-5 from IMM Paper 9\n\n### The Matching Principle: TI ≈ 1 / H\n\nAgents in high-entropy environments need short attention windows. Agents in stable environments benefit from long integration. This single principle drives the core of every parameter recommendation.\n\n[Read the full explanation →](/docs/matching)\n\n## Ready to tune your agent?\n\nFree tier: unlimited web tuner.
