Skillset Schema Development

Keep One Contract Owner

Read docs/project/tenets.md, relevant ADRs, and docs/development/schema-contracts.md.
Confirm the field represents a real adaptive source meaning. Keep provider-only contracts under explicit provider blocks.
Change packages/schema/src/contracts.ts and shared value contracts before teaching compiler, Workbench, CLI, or documentation another shape.
Add structural diagnostics in packages/schema/src/validate.ts; keep path resolution, destination policy, graph semantics, and rendering behavior in Core.
Route all consumers through @skillset/schema instead of maintaining parallel allowed-key lists.

Read references/contract-workflow.md for the artifact, validation, example, and release checklist.

Verify The Contract

Extend schema descriptor, validation, and maximal-example coverage.
Run bun run schema:generate, inspect generated schemas and examples, then run bun run schema:check.
Run focused schema and affected-consumer tests with bun run test:focused -- <test-files...>.
Add a package Changeset for package-facing schema changes and a Skillset change entry when the self-hosted source contract or generated-output promise changes.
Rebuild and check self-hosted output when canonical .skillset/ source changes.
Run bun run typecheck and bun run check before handoff.

Do not document a field that the schema package does not own, hand-edit generated schema artifacts, or use provider spelling as a second portable key for the same meaning.
