Schemas

SMALL schemas define the valid shape of each artifact.

Artifact schemas

  • intent
  • constraints
  • plan
  • progress
  • handoff

Why schemas exist

  • Prevent drift and "AI vibes"
  • Enable validation in CI
  • Make handoffs portable across tools

Where to find them

  • In the protocol repo under the spec directory.
  • This site also serves the compiled schema registry used by the docs playground.
