Disclaimer ​

Effective Date: June 2026 Last Updated: June 2026

General Disclaimer ​

REACH + OCTO ("we", "us", or "our") provides workflow automation framework documentation, DSL specifications, and educational resources for analytical and educational purposes only.

1. No Professional Advice ​

REACH + OCTO documentation is not professional business advice, technical consulting, or system architecture advice.

You are solely responsible for your implementation decisions, including:

  • Workflow design and automation scope
  • Data accessed via REACH sources (Outlook, SQL Server, git, browsers)
  • Actions taken via act arms and prompt gates
  • Security configuration of scheduled tasks and signal files

2. No Guaranteed Results ​

REACH + OCTO provides patterns and principles, but:

  • We cannot guarantee that REACH or OCTO will successfully automate your workflow
  • We are not responsible for outcomes from implementing REACH or OCTO patterns
  • Success depends on your environment, tooling, and organizational context

3. Framework Limitations ​

Platform Support ​

The REACH execution core (dotnet-script and the .NET/NuGet ecosystem) is cross-platform and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Some individual sources are platform-specific by nature — COM Interop, Windows Task Scheduler, and WinForms patterns require Windows — but this is a property of those particular sources, not a requirement of REACH or OCTO themselves.

Live System Access ​

REACH reaches into live systems — Outlook, SQL Server, git, browsers, desktop applications. You are responsible for ensuring REACH has appropriate access and that actions taken via act arms are reviewed before execution.

AI-Generated Code ​

REACH compiles .reach files to C# via Claude. All generated code should be reviewed before running in production environments, particularly for act arms that change system state.

4. No Affiliation ​

REACH + OCTO is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by:

  • Anthropic (Claude AI) or any AI provider
  • Microsoft or any tooling vendor
  • Cloudflare or any infrastructure provider
  • Any academic institution or research body

REACH + OCTO is an independent methodology developed by Semantic Intent.

5. Limitation of Liability ​

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Semantic Intent and its contributors are not liable for:

  • Unintended actions taken by REACH act arms
  • Data loss or corruption from automated reaches
  • System access issues arising from REACH source connections
  • Consequential, incidental, or punitive damages

Your use of REACH + OCTO is at your sole risk.
