SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams design and validate signal contracts for the Jido workflow ecosystem. It clarifies the boundaries between signal definitions and transport logic, enabling consistent event schemas across producers and consumers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define signal schemas with a stable payload contract to ensure interoperability across Jido components.
  • Route, dispatch, and bridge signals to PubSub, webhooks, or other buses without leaking transport details into the core signal contract.
  • Review and enforce boundaries to keep agent planning and execution separate from transport adapters.

Quick Start

Design a signal contract for a new event and validate its shape against the defined signal boundaries.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define and validate signal contracts for Elixir workflows?

To define signal contracts in Elixir, you establish an explicit signal shape with a stable payload contract, then validate event schemas against those defined boundaries to ensure interoperability across producers and consumers.

How do I route Jido signals to PubSub or webhooks without leaking transport details?

You route Jido signals to PubSub or webhooks by using transport adapters that bridge events while keeping the core signal contract separate, ensuring transport logic does not leak into signal definitions.

What is the best way to keep event schemas consistent across Jido components?

The best way to maintain consistent event schemas across Jido components is to enforce explicit signal shapes and stable payload contracts, clarifying boundaries between signal definitions and transport logic.

Why should I separate signal definitions from transport adapters in Elixir event routing?

Separating signal definitions from transport adapters in Elixir event routing prevents transport details from leaking into the core signal contract, enabling consistent event schemas and clear boundaries between producers and consumers.

Can I dispatch events to multiple buses using a single Elixir signal contract?

Yes, you can dispatch events to multiple buses using a single signal contract by bridging signals to PubSub, webhooks, or other transports through adapters while maintaining the stable payload contract.
