@xerg/schemas

Versioned TypeScript wire types for Xerg audit payloads, daily rollups, findings, comparisons, and the hosted Action Center recommendation contract.

What it is

@xerg/schemas defines the public JSON contract shared between the Xerg CLI, the local audit engine, and any service that consumes pushed audit summaries.

It is intentionally small and stable:

• TypeScript-first types for Xerg wire payloads
• Daily spend and waste rollups for hosted dashboards and ingestion pipelines
• A runtime AUDIT_PUSH_PAYLOAD_VERSION constant for compatibility checks
• The ranked recommendation contract used by Xerg Cloud, Ask Xerg, and hosted MCP
• A dependency-light package surface for backends, ingestion services, and internal tooling
• A stable MIT-licensed contract package even though the main Xerg source repository is private

What it is not

This package does not perform runtime validation by itself. It provides compile-time guarantees for TypeScript consumers. If you accept untrusted JSON, add runtime validation in the consuming service and keep it aligned with these exported types.

Install

npm install @xerg/schemas

Example

import {
  AUDIT_PUSH_PAYLOAD_VERSION,
  type AuditPushPayload,
} from '@xerg/schemas';

export function acceptAuditPayload(payload: AuditPushPayload) {
  if (payload.version !== AUDIT_PUSH_PAYLOAD_VERSION) {
    throw new Error(`Unsupported payload version: ${payload.version}`);
  }

  return payload.summary.spendByDay;
}

Compatibility contract

AuditPushPayload.version is the top-level wire version.

• Additive fields that older consumers can safely ignore should usually keep the same version.
• Breaking changes to existing field names, meanings, or required structure should ship behind a new payload version.
• Producers and consumers should reject payloads with a newer unsupported version instead of guessing.

Current version:

import { AUDIT_PUSH_PAYLOAD_VERSION } from '@xerg/schemas';

AUDIT_PUSH_PAYLOAD_VERSION; // 2

Version 2 adds the richer XergRecommendation contract to the pushed payload. Recommendations are now first-class wire data rather than a local-only CLI add-on.

Exports

Primary exports include:

• AuditPushPayload
• DailySpendBreakdown
• DailyWasteBreakdown
• WireFinding
• WireComparison
• XergRecommendation
• XergRecommendationPriorityBucket
• XergRecommendationSurface
• XergRecommendationCategory
• AUDIT_PUSH_PAYLOAD_VERSION

Use cases

• Share a single payload contract between the Xerg CLI and backend services
• Type audit ingestion pipelines without copying interface definitions
• Gate processing logic on an explicit payload version
• Keep hosted action queues, MCP tools, and dashboard recommendation cards aligned with the CLI
