SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured process for managing and updating WebAssembly Interface Types (WIT) files, ensuring consistency across different Golem components and sub-projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

Centralized WIT Management: Defines a single source of truth for all WIT definitions in the root wit/ directory.
Automated Synchronization: Uses cargo make wit to copy WIT definitions to various sub-projects, preventing manual edits in synchronized copies.
Verification: Includes cargo make check-wit to ensure synchronization integrity and cargo make build for comprehensive verification.
Use Case: When a new capability is added to a Golem host interface, this Skill guides the developer through updating the core .wit file, synchronizing it across all dependent projects, and rebuilding the system to reflect the changes.

Quick Start

Update the host.wit file and then run cargo make wit to synchronize changes.

FAQPage Schema

How do I update WebAssembly Interface Types (WIT) definitions in a Golem project?▼

To update WebAssembly Interface Types (WIT) definitions, modify the core `.wit` file in the root `wit/` directory and run `cargo make wit` to automatically synchronize the changes across all dependent sub-projects.

What is the best way to synchronize WIT files across distributed Golem components?▼

The best way to synchronize WIT files is using the `cargo make wit` build process, which copies definitions from a centralized root `wit/` directory to various sub-projects, preventing manual edits in synchronized copies.

How can I verify that my WIT dependencies are synchronized correctly?▼

You can verify WIT dependencies are synchronized correctly by running `cargo make check-wit` to ensure synchronization integrity, followed by `cargo make build` for comprehensive system verification.

Why should I avoid manually editing WIT files in individual Golem sub-projects?▼

You should avoid manually editing WIT files in sub-projects because the root `wit/` directory serves as the single source of truth, and `cargo make wit` automatically overwrites synchronized copies during the build process.

Do I need to update deps.toml when adding new WIT dependencies?▼

Yes, updating WIT dependencies via `deps.toml` is required when managing WebAssembly Interface Types in Golem, ensuring consistent interface definitions across distributed components during the synchronization process.

When do I need to modify WebAssembly Interface Types for Golem components?▼

You need to modify WebAssembly Interface Types when adding a new capability to a Golem host interface, which requires updating the core `.wit` file, synchronizing it across dependent projects, and rebuilding the system.
