Core Standard

What it defines

The v0.3.1 draft defines the core specification body, runtime-driving versus descriptive fields, runtime interpretation rules, conformance matrix, bounded action contract, and first-class AI runtime policy.

  • Normative runtime interpretation sequence
  • Publisher, validator, and runtime conformance rules
  • Bounded declarative action model with TypeScript implementation example
  • AI runtime policy for model-selection and evidence posture
Core Standard

Why it is different from earlier drafts

Earlier drafts made the standard more understandable. This draft is the one intended to be buildable by outside teams and governable by a committee.

Standards Motion

Use the public standard to shape governed runtime behavior.

The point of the standard is not documentation for its own sake. It is to make packages authorable, reviewable, validatable, and portable enough to drive governed execution.
