AFPS JSON Schemas

Machine-readable representation of the AFPS specification. The specification text (spec.md) is the normative source.

npm package

This directory is published as @afps-spec/schema on npm. Implementations can import the Zod schemas and extend them:

import { agentManifestSchema } from "@afps-spec/schema";

const myAgentSchema = agentManifestSchema.extend({
  "x-custom-field": z.string().optional(),
});

JSON Schema generation

When generating JSON Schema files from AFPS Zod schemas, use the exported afpsJsonSchemaOverride to ensure input.schema, output.schema, and config.schema fields reference the official JSON Schema 2020-12 meta-schema:

import { toJSONSchema } from "zod/v4/core";
import { agentManifestSchema, afpsJsonSchemaOverride } from "@afps-spec/schema";

const jsonSchema = toJSONSchema(agentManifestSchema, {
  target: "draft-2020-12",
  override: afpsJsonSchemaOverride,
});

Without the override, these fields serialize as opaque {} objects because the AJV meta-schema validation cannot be represented by Zod's toJSONSchema() alone.

Versioned schemas

Schemas are organized by major version:

schema/
├── v1/                   ← AFPS v1.x schemas
│   ├── agent.schema.json
│   ├── skill.schema.json
│   ├── tool.schema.json
│   └── provider.schema.json
├── src/
│   ├── schemas.ts        ← Zod source (generates v1/)
│   ├── generate.ts       ← Generation script
│   └── index.ts          ← npm entry point
└── package.json          ← @afps-spec/schema

URLs follow the pattern https://afps.appstrate.dev/packages/schema/v1/<type>.schema.json.

Schema validation

AFPS schema fields (input.schema, output.schema, config.schema) accept any valid JSON Schema 2020-12 document, with two AFPS-specific constraints:

• The root type MUST be "object"
• The root MUST have a properties key

Runtime validation is performed by AJV against the official JSON Schema 2020-12 meta-schema. The generated .schema.json files express this via allOf combining a $ref to the meta-schema with the AFPS constraints.

Regenerating

After modifying the Zod source in src/schemas.ts:

cd schema && bun install && bun run generate

Usage in manifests

Reference a schema using $schema for editor validation:

{
  "$schema": "https://afps.appstrate.dev/packages/schema/v1/agent.schema.json",
  "schemaVersion": "1.0",
  "name": "@scope/my-agent",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "type": "agent"
}

Implementations may extend these schemas with additional fields using the x- prefix convention (see spec §10).
