Gsd-skill-creator dacp-interpreter

Load, validate, and use DACP bundles as structured execution context. Detects .bundle/ companion directories, validates integrity (manifest schema, fidelity, provenance), loads typed data, and builds ExecutionContext for receiving agents. Scripts are NEVER auto-executed. Use when processing incoming DACP bundles, interpreting .bundle/ directories alongside .msg files, validating bundle integrity, or building execution context from bundle payloads.

DACP Interpreter

Scripts in bundles are review-only references — the interpreter NEVER auto-executes any script (SAFE-01).

Summary

The DACP Interpreter handles receiving-side bundle processing. When a

.bundle/
directory appears alongside a
.msg
file, the interpreter detects, validates, loads, and integrates the bundle into a structured
ExecutionContext
.

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Bundle Companion

Look for a

.bundle/
directory alongside the
.msg
file. If found, prefer the bundle over raw
.msg
content.

Step 2: Validate Bundle

Call

validateBundle(bundlePath)
to check:

  • .complete
    marker exists (atomicity guarantee)
  • manifest.json
    parses and validates against Zod schema
  • Fidelity level matches actual directory contents
  • All referenced data and code files exist on disk
  • Size limits respected (50KB data, 10KB per script, 100KB total)
  • Data payloads validate against referenced JSON schemas
  • All scripts have provenance (source skill attribution)

Step 3: Load Bundle

Call

loadBundle(bundlePath)
to get a typed
LoadedBundle
with:

  • Parsed manifest object
  • Raw intent markdown
  • JSON data payloads as typed objects
  • Schema definitions
  • Script content loaded for review

Step 4: Build Execution Context

Call

buildExecutionContext(loadedBundle)
to get:

  • intentSummary
    -- what the sender wants done
  • intentMarkdown
    -- full instructions
  • typedData
    -- structured parameters you can use directly
  • scriptReferences
    -- scripts to review (NOT execute blindly)
  • assemblyRationale
    -- why the bundle was composed this way

Step 5: Review Scripts Before Use

For each script in

scriptReferences
:

  • Read the script content
  • Understand what it does
  • Decide: execute it, reference its logic, or skip it
  • NEVER execute without reviewing first

Step 6: Report Outcome

After completing the work, report the handoff outcome (intent alignment, rework needed, verification status) for drift tracking.

Error Handling

Invalid Bundles

If

validateBundle()
returns
valid: false
:

  • Check if a
    .msg
    fallback file exists alongside the bundle
  • If yes: fall back to
    .msg
    content (backward compatibility)
  • If no: report the validation errors and request a re-send

Provenance Failures

Scripts without a valid

source_skill
in the manifest are rejected. This ensures every executable artifact traces back to a known, versioned skill. If provenance validation fails:

  • Do NOT use the script
  • Report which scripts failed provenance
  • Request a corrected bundle from the sender
