SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Jido signals often require reliable bridging to external transports. This skill provides guidance to plan adapters, define delivery semantics, and keep boundaries explicit.

Core Features & Use Cases

Adapter design: Map Jido signals to target transports (queues, topics, pub/sub) with explicit serialization and headers.
Delivery semantics: Specify at-most-once, at-least-once, retry, and dead-letter strategies at the adapter boundary.
Package boundaries: Clarify what belongs in jido-messaging vs jido-signal vs application layer, to reduce coupling.

Quick Start

Design and validate a messaging adapter for a chosen external transport.

FAQPage Schema

How do I design messaging adapters for routing Jido signals to external queues?▼

Design messaging adapters by mapping Jido signals to target transports like queues or pub/sub with explicit serialization and headers. The boundary enforces delivery semantics, retry policies, acknowledgments, and error handling for reliable transport bridging.

What delivery semantics should I use when bridging Jido signals to a pub/sub broker?▼

Specify delivery semantics like at-most-once, at-least-once, retry, and dead-letter strategies at the adapter boundary. Defining these guarantees explicitly ensures reliable signal routing to queues, brokers, or pub/sub systems.

How do I separate package boundaries between jido-messaging and the application layer?▼

Separate package boundaries by clarifying what belongs in jido-messaging versus jido-signal or the application layer. Explicit boundary definitions reduce coupling and keep transport adapters distinct from core signal logic.

What is the best way to handle retry policies and dead-letter strategies for Jido signal transports?▼

Handle retry policies and dead-letter strategies by enforcing them directly at the adapter layer. Keeping these delivery semantics explicit at the boundary ensures failed signals are managed without leaking transport concerns into the application.

When do I need to define explicit serialization for Jido signal adapters?▼

Define explicit serialization when mapping Jido signals to external transports. Specifying serialization and headers at the adapter boundary ensures signals are correctly formatted for target queues, topics, or pub/sub systems before delivery.
