SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Publishing AT Protocol lexicons as com.atproto.lexicon.schema records and resolving them back to lexicon documents is a coordinated workflow that requires aligning DNS authority, DID binding, and on-chain publication. This skill codifies the end-to-end process and provides guardrails for correctness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Publishes new lexicons and revisions to a DID-based repo, including authority checks, CID validation, and monotonic revision management.
  • Resolves NSIDs to published lexicon records, detailing authority binding, DNS TXT records, and DID-to-PDS resolution, to help debugging and integration.
  • Supports end-to-end publishing workflows and resolution traces across the lexicon lifecycle, from authoring to network publication.

Quick Start

Publish a lexicon by wrapping your lexicon document as a com.atproto.lexicon.schema record and publishing it to the publishing DID's repo with putRecord (validation enabled).

Frequently Asked Questions about atproto-publish-lexicon

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I publish an AT Protocol lexicon to a DID repository?▼

Publish an AT Protocol lexicon by wrapping your document as a com.atproto.lexicon.schema record and writing it to a DID-based repository using putRecord with validation enabled.

How does DNS authority binding work for AT Protocol lexicons?▼

DNS authority binding for AT Protocol lexicons uses _lexicon TXT records to verify that a publishing DID is authorized to claim a specific NSID, ensuring secure resolution.

What is the best way to resolve an NSID back to a published lexicon document?▼

Resolve an NSID to a published lexicon document by tracing authority bindings, checking DNS TXT records, and performing DID-to-PDS resolution to locate the repository containing the schema.

How do I manage lexicon revisions and ensure CID canonicalization?▼

Manage lexicon revisions by enforcing monotonic revision sequencing and applying CID canonicalization to maintain consistent record integrity across updates in the DID repository.

Can I use this to debug lexicon resolution failures across the network?▼

Debug lexicon resolution failures by generating end-to-end resolution traces that detail authority binding, DNS TXT record verification, and DID-to-PDS routing for the target NSID.

What limitations exist when publishing AT Protocol lexicons with DNS authority?▼

Limitations include strict enforcement of record shape, authority binding via DNS, and monotonic revision sequencing, meaning out-of-order updates or mismatched DNS TXT records will fail publication.
