@agenticprimitives/types

The shared type vocabulary that keeps thirty packages pointing at one identity.

A trust substrate lives or dies on agreement about what an identity is. types is where that agreement is written down as the compiler's problem: branded primitives (Address, Hex, ChainId, Caip10Address) and the cross-cutting identity shapes (CanonicalAgentIdentity, AgentType, AgentSession, CredentialPrincipal, Assurance) that every @agenticprimitives/* package shares. Because the brands are phantom types, a raw string cannot masquerade as an address and a CAIP-10 subject cannot be confused with a bare EVM address — across package boundaries, at compile time, with zero runtime cost.

It is also where the doctrine becomes a type. CanonicalAgentIdentity is the ADR-0010 rule — the agent's identity IS its Smart Agent address — as an alias of Address, and AgentSession deliberately has no owner field (ADR-0016): the SSO session names the agent itself, never a vendor-side owner. Types-only, zero dependencies, no runtime code; it is the leaf every other package depends on and the reason the dependency graph has no back-edges.

Part of agenticprimitives — the trust substrate for the agent economy: one canonical Smart Agent identity with custody, delegation, naming, credentials, and audit evidence designed as one system.

Install

pnpm add @agenticprimitives/types

Exports

import type { Address, Hex, ChainId, BrandedId } from '@agenticprimitives/types';

type SessionId = BrandedId<'SessionId'>;
const chain: ChainId = 1 as ChainId;
const account: Address = '0x...';

Also exported: CanonicalAgentIdentity (ADR-0010 alias of Address); Caip10Address, CanonicalAgentId, Caip10Parts (CAIP-10 brand — the type lives here, the runtime builder lives in agent-profile); AgentType ('person' | 'org' | 'service') and NameContext (display-only injection shape); and the SSO/session shapes AgentSession, CredentialPrincipal, Assurance, CredentialKind, CredentialRole (specs 223/224).

How it's different from a typical types package

Most monorepo types packages are junk drawers that grow until everything depends on everything. This one is governed:

• Admission rule: a type lands here only when ≥ 2 packages consume it and it cannot live anywhere lower. Single-consumer types stay in their package.
• No runtime, ever. No functions, no constants with behavior, no side effects. Even the CAIP-10 builder is excluded — only the brand lives here.
• Shared shapes without runtime coupling. AgentSession lives here precisely so identity-directory, connect, and relying-site SDKs can agree on the token shape without importing each other.

The result is a leaf package small enough to audit in one sitting, strong enough to make identity confusion a compile error.

Status

Minimal by design — adding a type requires ≥ 2 consuming packages. Testnet/pilot-ready. Production launch is gated on the public checklist in the root README.md Status section — including third-party contract audit and governance key rotation.
