artifact.scaffold

Generate new artifact templates automatically from metadata inputs.

Overview

The artifact.scaffold skill creates fully compliant artifact descriptors in one call. It generates valid .artifact.yaml files, assigns auto-incremented versions starting at 0.1.0, and registers artifacts in the artifacts registry.

Features

Automatic Generation: Creates artifact YAML files from metadata inputs
Schema Definition: Supports field definitions with types, descriptions, and required flags
Inheritance: Supports extending from base artifacts
Registry Management: Automatically registers artifacts in registry/artifacts.json
Validation: Optional --validate flag to validate generated artifacts
Version Management: Auto-assigns version 0.1.0 to new artifacts

Usage

Basic Example

python3 skills/artifact.scaffold/artifact_scaffold.py \
  --id "new.artifact" \
  --category "report"

With Field Definitions

  --id "new.artifact" \
  --category "report" \
  --fields '[{"name":"summary","type":"string","description":"Summary field","required":true}]'

With Inheritance and Validation

python3 skills/artifact.scaffold/artifact_scaffold.py \
  --id "new.artifact" \
  --category "report" \
  --extends "base.artifact" \
  --fields '[{"name":"summary","type":"string"}]' \
  --validate

Custom Output Path

python3 skills/artifact.scaffold/artifact_scaffold.py \
  --id "new.artifact" \
  --category "report" \
  --output "custom/path/artifact.yaml"

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`--id`	string	Yes	Unique identifier for the artifact (e.g., "new.artifact")
`--category`	string	Yes	Category/type of artifact (e.g., "report", "specification")
`--extends`	string	No	Base artifact to extend from
`--fields`	JSON array	No	Field definitions with name, type, description, and required properties
`--output`	string	No	Custom output path for the artifact file
`--validate`	flag	No	Validate the artifact after generation

Field Definition Format

Fields are provided as a JSON array with the following structure:

[
  {
    "name": "field_name",
    "type": "string|number|boolean|object|array",
    "description": "Field description",
    "required": true|false
  }
]

Output

The skill outputs a JSON response with the following structure:

{
  "ok": true,
  "status": "success",
  "artifact_id": "new.artifact",
  "file_path": "/path/to/artifact.yaml",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "category": "report",
  "registry_path": "/path/to/registry/artifacts.json",
  "artifacts_registered": 1,
  "validation": {
    "valid": true,
    "errors": [],
    "warnings": []
  }
}

Generated Artifact Structure

The skill generates artifact YAML files with the following structure:

id: new.artifact
version: 0.1.0
category: report
created_at: '2025-10-26T00:00:00.000000Z'
metadata:
  description: new.artifact artifact
  tags:
  - report
extends: base.artifact  # Optional
schema:
  type: object
  properties:
    summary:
      type: string
      description: Summary field
  required:
  - summary

Registry Management

Artifacts are automatically registered in registry/artifacts.json:

{
  "registry_version": "1.0.0",
  "generated_at": "2025-10-26T00:00:00.000000Z",
  "artifacts": [
    {
      "id": "new.artifact",
      "version": "0.1.0",
      "category": "report",
      "created_at": "2025-10-26T00:00:00.000000Z",
      "description": "new.artifact artifact",
      "tags": ["report"],
      "extends": "base.artifact",
      "schema": { ... }
    }
  ]
}
