SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and examples (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of integrating data from disparate sources by establishing a unified, consistent, and version-controlled canonical data model and robust normalization rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canonical Schema Design: Defines standardized object models (e.g., for findings, assets, identities) using Zod and JSON Schema.
  • Normalization: Creates mapping tables to translate source-specific values (like severity or status) into a consistent canonical format.
  • Entity Resolution: Implements rules for deduplicating and merging overlapping data from different sources.
  • Use Case: A security platform ingests findings from multiple scanners (Snyk, AWS Inspector, CrowdStrike). This Skill ensures all findings are represented in a single, consistent format, regardless of their origin, enabling unified reporting and analysis.

Quick Start

Use the canonical-schema-architect skill to define a Zod schema for a new 'asset' entity type.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize data models for multi-source data ingestion?

To standardize data models for multi-source data ingestion, design a canonical schema that defines unified object models using Zod and JSON Schema. This creates a consistent format for integrating disparate sources, enabling unified reporting and consistent analysis.

What is canonical schema design and when do I need it for data integration?

Canonical schema design is the process of defining standardized object models and normalization rules to unify disparate data sources. You need it when integrating heterogeneous systems, such as ingesting findings from multiple security scanners, to ensure data consistency.

How do I normalize severity and status values from different data sources?

You normalize severity and status values by creating mapping tables that translate source-specific values into a consistent canonical format. This ensures ingested data adheres to a standardized representation regardless of its origin system.

How do I handle entity resolution and deduplication for overlapping data?

Handle entity resolution by implementing deterministic ID generation and rules for deduplicating and merging overlapping data from different sources. This resolves duplicate records and maintains a single consistent source of truth across systems.

Can I use Zod and JSON Schema to define versioned schemas?

Yes, you can use Zod and JSON Schema to define versioned schemas. The skill establishes versioned schemas and backwards-compatible evolution policies, ensuring your canonical data model adapts safely without breaking existing integrations.

What is the best way to maintain backwards-compatible evolution policies for data schemas?

The best way to maintain backwards-compatible evolution policies is to establish versioned schemas using Zod and JSON Schema. This approach ensures your canonical data model evolves safely without breaking existing integrations or heterogeneous system connections.
