SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the core challenge of integrating Spytial spatial diagramming functionality with new host programming languages, eliminating the need for developers to reverse-engineer integration patterns from existing implementations or core documentation. It guides users through the four invariant subproblems of Spytial host integration to produce a concrete, working design before any code is written, reducing integration bugs and rework for both first-time and experienced integrators.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dual-mode guided workflow: Supports first-time integrators with a runnable starter example and default assumptions, and advanced designers with a full four-phase design questionnaire to accommodate different expertise levels.
  • Canonical doc fetching: Pulls the latest integration guidance, case studies, and interface contracts directly from the spytial-core repository to ensure recommendations stay in sync with the core library, avoiding stale training data.
  • Edge case guardrails: Addresses common integration pitfalls including runtime identity models for different language paradigms, idiomatic spec attachment mechanisms, ordering of relational elements, and correct handling of shared references and cycles.
  • Use Case: A developer building a Spytial binding for Haskell can use this Skill to design a hash-consing identity strategy for pure functional values, pick a type-class spec attachment seam, and scaffold a minimum viable JSON-emitting integration.

Quick Start

Use the integrate-language skill to design a Spytial integration for your target host language, starting with a runnable starter example if you are new to Spytial integration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate Spytial spatial diagramming with a new host programming language?

Integrate Spytial spatial diagramming by solving four invariant subproblems: runtime identity models, idiomatic spec attachment, relational element ordering, and shared reference handling, to produce a concrete design before writing code.

What are the common pitfalls when building Spytial bindings for functional languages like Haskell or OCaml?

Common pitfalls when building Spytial bindings include incorrectly mapping runtime identity models for pure functional values, choosing non-idiomatic spec attachment seams, and mismanaging shared references and cycles in relational data.

How do I design a Spytial host integration without reverse-engineering existing implementations?

Design a Spytial host integration using a guided four-phase design questionnaire or a runnable starter example, which pulls canonical integration guidance and interface contracts directly from the spytial-core repository.

Does the Spytial integration workflow support both beginner prototyping and advanced production design?

The Spytial integration workflow supports beginner prototyping through default assumptions and a runnable starter example, while accommodating advanced designers with a full four-phase questionnaire for production-grade integration.

What is the best way to scaffold a minimum viable JSON-emitting Spytial integration for Rust?

Scaffold a minimum viable JSON-emitting Spytial integration by defining a hash-consing identity strategy, selecting an idiomatic spec attachment seam, and following the fetched canonical interface contracts for your Rust environment.

When should I not use default assumptions for Spytial host language integration?

Avoid default assumptions for Spytial host language integration when designing advanced production-grade systems, opting instead for the full four-phase design questionnaire to properly address edge cases and language-specific paradigms.
