SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Jido-signal provides builder-oriented guidance to define, validate, and bound signals for the upstream jido_signal package, helping teams create stable event contracts and clear interface boundaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define signal contracts that specify intent, source, and payload structure.
  • Build routing and dispatch flows to PubSub, queues, or webhooks.
  • Review boundaries between jido_signal, jido, and adapters, and turn docs into runnable examples.

Quick Start

Create a simple signal contract and a runnable example demonstrating a producer, a signal payload, and a consumer.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define signal contracts for event schemas and boundaries?

Signal contracts are defined using builder-oriented guidance to specify intent, source, and payload structure, ensuring stable event schemas and clear interface boundaries across producers and consumers.

What is the best way to route and dispatch events to PubSub or queues?

Routing and dispatch flows are built by bridging validated signal contracts to transport layers like PubSub, queues, or webhooks, clarifying the separation of concerns between the signal and its adapters.

When do I need explicit signal shape validation for event dispatch?

Explicit signal shape validation is needed when establishing stable interfaces between producers and consumers, ensuring structured payloads govern event schemas before dispatching to external boundaries.

Does jido_signal work with webhook and queue adapters?

Yes, jido_signal bridges signals to PubSub, queues, or webhooks by defining contracts that clarify the boundaries between the core signal and its transport adapters.

How do I separate concerns between signal producers, consumers, and transport layers?

Concerns are separated by validating structured signal contracts that govern event schemas, explicitly defining the boundaries between producers, consumers, and the transport layers dispatching the events.
