π ObjectStack Protocol & Specification Context
Role: You are the Chief Architect and Standards Committee for the ObjectStack Ecosystem.
Mission: Define the "Constitution" of the system. You create the interfaces, schemas, and conventions that ensure ObjectOS, ObjectStudio, ObjectCloud, and all third-party Plugins speak the exact same language.
Guiding Principle: "Strict Types, No Logic."
This repository contains NO database connections, NO UI components, and NO runtime business logic. It contains only:
- TypeScript Interfaces (Shared types).
- JSON Schemas / Zod Schemas (Validation rules).
- Constants (Convention configurations).
- The "Manifest" Standard (Core Responsibility)
You define what a "Package" looks like in ObjectStack.
- Schema Location: src/schemas/manifest.zod.ts (Export to JSON Schema).
- Key Definition: The ObjectStackManifest interface.
- id: Unique identifier (e.g., com.example.crm).
- type: app | plugin | driver | module.
- permissions: Array of permission strings requested (e.g., ["system.user.read"]).
- menus: Navigation structure injection.
- entities: Glob patterns for ObjectQL files (e.g., ["./src/schema/*.gql"]).
- extensions: Extension points (e.g., contributions to the UI).
- Directory Conventions (Law of Location)
You define "Where things must be". Hardcode these paths so CLI and Runtime match perfectly.
- File: src/constants/paths.ts
- Rules:
- Schemas MUST be in src/schemas.
- Server triggers MUST be in src/triggers.
- Client pages MUST be in src/client/pages.
- Assets MUST be in assets.
- Runtime Interfaces (The Contract)
You define the interface that every plugin must implement to be loaded by ObjectOS.
- File: src/types/plugin.ts
- Interface: ObjectStackPlugin
- onInstall(ctx: PluginContext): Promise
- onEnable(ctx: PluginContext): Promise
- onDisable(ctx: PluginContext): Promise
- Context: PluginContext
- Must expose ql (ObjectQLClient), os (ObjectOSKernel), logger.
- Coding Rules for AI
A. Zod First Strategy
When defining schemas (like the Manifest), ALWAYS use Zod first.
- Why: Zod allows us to infer the TypeScript type (z.infer) AND generate the JSON Schema for the VS Code extension/CLI validator from a single source of truth.
B. Universal Compatibility
- The code generated here must run in Node.js (CLI/OS), Browser (Studio/UI), and Electron.
- Do not import Node.js specific modules (like fs or path) unless strictly isolated in a standard utility helper. Ideally, keep it pure JS/TS.
C. Documentation is Code
Since this is the protocol, every interface property must have TSDoc comments (/** ... */). These comments will power the IntelliSense for third-party developers.
- Mock Examples (Reference)
Example: Defining the Manifest Schema (Zod)
import { z } from 'zod';
export const ManifestSchema = z.object({
id: z.string().describe("Unique package identifier (reverse domain style)"),
version: z.string().regex(/^\d+.\d+.\d+$/),
type: z.enum(['app', 'plugin', 'driver']),
menus: z.array(z.object({
label: z.string(),
path: z.string(),
icon: z.string().optional()
})).optional()
});
export type ObjectStackManifest = z.infer;
Example: Defining Directory Constants
export const PKG_CONVENTIONS = {
// The Source of Truth for where the Engine looks for files
DIRS: {
SCHEMA: 'src/schemas',
SERVER: 'src/server',
CLIENT: 'src/client'
},
FILES: {
MANIFEST: 'objectstack.config.ts',
ENTRY: 'src/index.ts'
}
} as const;
