Packaging Contracts

cross_packager.py is not just an export helper. It defines and validates platform contracts.

Current Targets

  • openai
  • claude
  • generic

Contract Shape

Each target contract defines:

  • required output fields
  • required output files
  • field mapping from the neutral source metadata
  • portable execution metadata
  • trust-boundary metadata
  • degradation strategy metadata

Failure Handling

When --expectations is provided:

  • missing required files cause exit code 2
  • missing required fields cause exit code 2
  • validation failures are emitted in the JSON report

Source Of Truth

The neutral source remains:

  • SKILL.md
  • agents/interface.yaml

Target-specific metadata is generated at packaging time.

Portability Model

The packaging layer now preserves four portable semantics from the neutral source:

  • activation
  • execution
  • trust
  • degradation

This means portability is not just "can it export a file?" but also "does the exported target preserve the source package's activation and safety assumptions?"
