| 2 | +# **SCHEMAS.md — CommandLayer Protocol Commons (v1.0.0)** |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +This document defines the full schema layout for the CommandLayer Protocol Commons, including canonical verbs, directory conventions, field-level rules, `$id` structures, versioning, and interoperability requirements for x402 + ERC‑8004 aligned agents. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +--- |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +# **1. Purpose** |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +The Protocol Commons provides the **canonical verb namespace** and the **universal schema layer** for all agents in the CommandLayer ecosystem. |
| 11 | +It establishes: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- A stable verb dictionary |
| 14 | +- Strict JSON Schema Draft 2020‑12 request + receipt contracts |
| 15 | +- Deterministic `$id` URLs |
| 16 | +- Standardized x402 envelope embedding |
| 17 | +- Trace + status primitives (`_shared`) |
| 18 | +- Example-driven validation for CI + reproducibility |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Once published under a versioned directory, the Commons is **immutable forever**. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +--- |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +# **2. Directory Layout** |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | +schemas/v1.0.0/ |
| 28 | + _shared/ # trace, x402, receipt base primitives |
| 29 | + commons/ # 10 canonical verbs (requests + receipts) |
| 30 | + analyze/ |
| 31 | + classify/ |
| 32 | + fetch/ |
| 33 | + format/ |
| 34 | + generate/ |
| 35 | + parse/ |
| 36 | + query/ |
| 37 | + save/ |
| 38 | + summarize/ |
| 39 | + translate/ |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Each verb directory contains: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +``` |
| 45 | +requests/<verb>.request.schema.json |
| 46 | +receipts/<verb>.receipt.schema.json |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +--- |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +# **3. Canonical Verb Set (v1.0.0)** |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +| Verb | Purpose | |
| 54 | +|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------| |
| 55 | +| analyze | ML / rules-based content inspection | |
| 56 | +| classify | Taxonomy classification | |
| 57 | +| fetch | External data retrieval | |
| 58 | +| format | Transform content without semantic mutation | |
| 59 | +| generate | Content generation (LLM, generative models) | |
| 60 | +| parse | Structural extraction & parsing | |
| 61 | +| query | Structured lookup or filtering | |
| 62 | +| save | Persist arbitrary content | |
| 63 | +| summarize | Semantic summarization | |
| 64 | +| translate | Language translation | |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Each verb defines: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +- 1 **request schema** |
| 69 | +- 1 **receipt schema** |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +--- |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +# **4. Schema `$id` Structure** |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +All schema IDs follow this deterministic pattern: |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +### **Request** |
| 78 | +``` |
| 79 | +https://commandlayer.org/schemas/v1.0.0/commons/<verb>/requests/<verb>.request.schema.json |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +### **Receipt** |
| 83 | +``` |
| 84 | +https://commandlayer.org/schemas/v1.0.0/commons/<verb>/receipts/<verb>.receipt.schema.json |
| 85 | +``` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### **Shared Primitives** |
| 91 | +``` |
| 92 | +https://commandlayer.org/schemas/v1.0.0/_shared/x402.schema.json |
| 93 | +https://commandlayer.org/schemas/v1.0.0/_shared/trace.schema.json |
| 94 | +https://commandlayer.org/schemas/v1.0.0/_shared/receipt.base.schema.json |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +--- |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +# **5. x402 Embedding Rules** |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Every **request** must include: |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +``` |
| 104 | +"x402": { |
| 105 | + "verb": "<verb>", |
| 106 | + "version": "1.0.0" |
| 107 | +} |
| 108 | +``` |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +Every **receipt** must include: |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +``` |
| 113 | +"x402": { |
| 114 | + "verb": "<verb>", |
| 115 | + "version": "1.0.0", |
| 116 | + "status": "ok" | "error" |
| 117 | +} |
| 118 | +``` |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +x402 object rules: |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +- No `additionalProperties` |
| 123 | +- Fully validated against `_shared/x402.schema.json` |
| 124 | +- Version string must match the verb directory version |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +--- |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +# **6. Request & Receipt Contracts** |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +## **6.1 Request Contract** |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +All requests share this required structure: |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +| Field | Description | |
| 135 | +|-------------|-----------------------------------------| |
| 136 | +| `x402` | verb + version metadata | |
| 137 | +| `actor` | freeform string, ENS, or DID | |
| 138 | +| `trace` | deterministic trace primitive | |
| 139 | +| `input` | verb‑specific input object | |
| 140 | +| `limits` | optional time/size constraints | |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +**Generic Example** |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +``` |
| 145 | +{ |
| 146 | + "x402": { "verb": "fetch", "version": "1.0.0" }, |
| 147 | + "actor": "example.eth", |
| 148 | + "trace": { "ts": 1234567890, "requestId": "..." }, |
| 149 | + "input": { "url": "https://..." } |
| 150 | +} |
| 151 | +``` |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +--- |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +## **6.2 Receipt Contract** |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +All receipts enforce the CommandLayer status model: |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +### **Status Rules** |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +| status | required fields | |
| 162 | +|--------|----------------------| |
| 163 | +| `ok` | `result`, `error=null` | |
| 164 | +| `error` | `error`, `result=null` | |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +Receipt must include: |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +- `x402` |
| 169 | +- `trace` |
| 170 | +- `status` |
| 171 | +- conditional `result` or `error` |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +Strict if/then/else validation is defined in: |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +``` |
| 176 | +_shared/receipt.base.schema.json |
| 177 | +``` |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +--- |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +# **7. Trace Primitive** |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +Used by *every* request and receipt. |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +Fields: |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +- `ts` |
| 188 | +- `requestId` |
| 189 | +- `idempotencyKey` |
| 190 | +- `nonce` |
| 191 | +- `requestHash` |
| 192 | +- Optional: `parentId`, `callbackUri`, `schemaId`, `signature`, `metrics` |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +Located in: |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +``` |
| 197 | +_shared/trace.schema.json |
| 198 | +``` |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +--- |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +# **8. Versioning Rules** |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +The Commons follows strict immutability: |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +- `v1.0.0/` **will never change** once published |
| 207 | +- Any modification requires: |
| 208 | + - New versioned directory (e.g., `v1.0.1/`) |
| 209 | + - New IPFS CID |
| 210 | + - New checksums |
| 211 | + - Updated ENS TXT |
| 212 | + - Updated provenance |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +NPM package: `@commandlayer/protocol-commons` |
| 215 | +ENS: `commandlayer.eth` |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +--- |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +# **9. Validation Rules** |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | +The Commons enforces **strict Ajv mode**: |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +``` |
| 224 | +strict: true |
| 225 | +strictTypes: true |
| 226 | +allowUnionTypes: false |
| 227 | +strictTuples: true |
| 228 | +``` |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +Other rules: |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +- No `additionalProperties` unless explicitly included |
| 233 | +- All examples must validate with CI |
| 234 | +- Receipt conditionals must pass if/then/else logic |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +Validation commands: |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +``` |
| 239 | +npm run validate |
| 240 | +npm run validate:all |
| 241 | +npm run validate:examples |
| 242 | +``` |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +--- |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +# **10. Examples** |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +Examples live at: |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +``` |
| 251 | +examples/v1.0.0/commons/<verb>/ |
| 252 | + valid/*.json |
| 253 | + invalid/*.json |
| 254 | +``` |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +Requirements: |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +- Minimum **3 valid** examples per verb |
| 259 | +- Minimum **3 invalid** examples per verb |
| 260 | +- All examples must pass strict CI validation |
| 261 | + |
| 262 | +--- |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +# **11. Provenance** |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +The entire schema tree is pinned to IPFS: |
