Config schema design (historical proposal)

1

Original FrameworkConfig and LinkConfig proposals from April 2026. Superseded by the unified v0.1 schema spec (which renames FrameworkConfig → ImportRecipe).

Constraint enforcement strategies

2

Eager, lazy, and compensating approaches to data integrity in file-based systems — from scripts to plugins.

Key decisions

3

Technical decisions made during development and their rationale.

Path: /agent-context/decisions/

Helper function specifications

4

Reusable data transformation functions — matching, path building, normalization, and hierarchical forward-fill.

Path: /agent-context/helper-functions/

Link metadata syntax specification

5

Complete specification of the typed-link syntax — wrapping styles, link types, regex patterns, and the two-tier priority system.

Open questions

6

Unresolved design questions for future development.

Prior art

7

Existing tools, research, and the history of the Crosswalker project.

Tradeoffs

8

Known tradeoffs in the current design and their justifications.

v0.1 schema spec — the four interconnected schemas

9

Unified design document for the v0.1 build target. Specifies the four interconnected schemas (_crosswalker metadata, ImportRecipe, junction notes, Tier 2 sidecar SQL) that v0.1 implementation will build against. Per Foundation phase: must be designed together; getting any wrong is expensive to fix later.

Vision

10

Short and long-term goals for Crosswalker.

Path: /agent-context/vision/

Research challenges

11

One-off research briefs for agents to critically assess the project. Each challenge is a focused assignment that stress-tests an assumption, explores a blind spot, or finds new paths.

Challenge 02: Architecture stress test at scale

12

What breaks when Crosswalker handles 50 frameworks, 100K notes, 500K crosswalk edges, and 50 concurrent users?
