@soulcraft/kit-schema

Shared kit manifest schema for the Soulcraft platform ecosystem.

Defines the contract between Soulcraft products (Venue, Workshop) and the domain-specific kits that configure them. A kit ships the branding, feature flags, AI personas, experience types, and content templates that turn a generic platform deployment into a polished, vertical-specific product.

What Is a Kit?

A kit is a directory containing:

my-kit/
├── kit.json    # Manifest — validated by this package
├── files/      # Template content (email HTML, waiver text, CMS seed data)
└── skills/     # AI skill definitions in SKILL.md format

The kit.json manifest describes:

Identity — id, name, description, version, author
Variables — configurable values ({{BUSINESS_NAME}}, {{LOCATION_CITY}}) substituted at deploy time
Product config block — venue, workshop, or academy — product-specific settings

Kit Types

`type` field	Product	Schema
`"venue"`	Soulcraft Venue	`VenueKitSchema`
`"content"`	Soulcraft Workshop	`WorkshopKitSchema`
`"app"`	Soulcraft Workshop	`WorkshopKitSchema`
`"academy"`	Soulcraft Academy (reserved)	`AcademyKitSchema`

The universal KitManifestSchema is a discriminated union that selects the correct schema based on type.

Installation

This package is a workspace dependency — it is not published to npm.

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@soulcraft/kit-schema": "workspace:*"
  }
}

Usage

Validate a `kit.json`

import { KitManifestSchema } from '@soulcraft/kit-schema';

const rawJson = JSON.parse(await Bun.file('kit.json').text());
const result = KitManifestSchema.safeParse(rawJson);

if (!result.success) {
  console.error('Invalid kit manifest:', result.error.format());
} else {
  console.log('Kit loaded:', result.data.name);
}

Load a Venue kit

import { loadVenueKit } from '@soulcraft/kit-schema';

const kit = await loadVenueKit('./kits/wicks-and-whiskers');
const { features, theme, experienceTypes } = kit.manifest.venue;

Load any kit (Workshop or Venue)

import { loadKitFromDirectory } from '@soulcraft/kit-schema';

const kit = await loadKitFromDirectory('./kits/novel-writing-system');
// kit.manifest.type === 'content' | 'app' | 'venue' | 'soulcraft' | 'academy'

Parse a skill file

import { parseSkillFile } from '@soulcraft/kit-schema';

const skill = await parseSkillFile('./kits/my-kit/skills/expert-editor.md');
// skill.name, skill.description, skill.trigger, skill.content

Substitute variables

import { substituteVariables } from '@soulcraft/kit-schema';

const html = substituteVariables(template, {
  BUSINESS_NAME: 'Wicks & Whiskers',
  LOCATION_CITY: 'Charlotte',
});

Workshop Kit `kit.json` Example

{
  "id": "novel-writing-system",
  "type": "content",
  "name": "Novel Writing System",
  "description": "Complete story development workspace for novelists",
  "version": "2.1.0",
  "author": { "name": "Soulcraft Labs" },

      { "label": "Outline act", "prompt": "Help me outline the next act of the story" }
    ]
  }
}

Publish Protocol (Workshop → Venue)

When a Workshop workspace publishes content to Venue, it sends a PublishPayload:

import type { PublishPayload } from '@soulcraft/kit-schema';

const payload: PublishPayload = {
  kitId: 'wicks-and-whiskers',
  title: 'Our Story',
  slug: 'our-story',
  version: '1.0.0',
  contentType: 'document',
  content: {
    body: '# Our Story\n\nWe started in 2019…',
    mimeType: 'text/markdown',
  },
  sourceWorkshopUserId: 'user-abc123',
  sourceWorkspaceId: 'workspace-xyz456',
  deployedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
};

The contentType discriminant selects one of five content shapes: document, visualization, slideshow, static, app.
