Proof path

Validator-backed proof path

Keep the public reading order tied to one evidence trail: profile, schema, example, validator result, and release record.

  1. 1Pick a message profile.Start with a published UAI-1 profile and the record family that matches the exchange you need to prove.
  2. 2Compare it with schemas and examples.Resolve the schema, registry entry, and one fixture before writing or mapping your candidate packet.
  3. 3Run validator evidence.Validate keyed, minified-keyed, or keyless JSON against the current public UAI-1 records.
  4. 4Attach the result to implementation or handoff records.Carry the exported result into Conformance Pack, implementation track, changelog, or Project Handoff evidence.

How to read this report

This is a dated source proposal for AGENTS.md and .uai linking. Start with Project Handoff for the current practical adoption path, then use this report for deeper link syntax, record-shape, and background rationale.

  • Report language about .uai generators, upload validators, SDKs, CLIs, certification, endorsement, template libraries, or registries is proposal or roadmap material unless the public Roadmap, Changelog, and published tooling evidence say otherwise.
  • Linked .uai files are project context, not authority to override human requests, system instructions, repository rules, policy, or support boundaries.
  • When a handoff becomes public release evidence, move from this report into UAI-1, Validator, Adoption Kit, and Conformance Pack.
