How does Author + Version work?

Author runs per-vertical rule definition: per-vertical TypeScript discriminated-union rule schema + JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 + Apache Avro + Protobuf + Confluent Schema Registry.

The 4-skill bundle on the per-vertical-rule-library agent

One agent. Four coordinated skills. The Author + Version + Validate + Audit bundle runs above the per-vertical rule-engine + schema-validator + per-vertical rule- citation substrate and writes one canonical per-vertical per-rule maintenance record.

Author

Per-vertical rule definition: TypeScript discriminated- union rule schema + JSON Schema + Apache Avro + Protobuf + Confluent Schema Registry. Per-vertical rule-citation linking (CFR + USC + EUR-Lex + state- regulation + professional-licensing-board). Per- vertical rule (IF schema-condition + THEN validation- action + exception + safe-harbor + waiver). Per- vertical rule-author + rule-reviewer + legal-sign-off + Code Owners review + Backstage + Port + Roadie + OpsLevel + Cortex rule-catalog entry.

Version

Per-vertical rule-versioning: per-rule semver MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH + per-rule deprecation policy + per- rule sunset clause + per-rule migration plan + per- rule changelog. Per-rule Conventional Commits + semantic-release + Changesets + Lerna. Per-rule signed commits (GPG + SSH + S/MIME) + Sigstore Cosign attestation + Rekor transparency log + Fulcio + SLSA Level 3+ + in-toto + SBOM (SPDX 2.3 + CycloneDX 1.5 + SWID) + EO 14028 + NIST SSDF SP 800-218. Per- vertical rule-cadence absorption.

Validate

Per-rule contract-test + regression-test + property- based test (Hypothesis + fast-check + jsverify) + golden-master + fuzz + mutation test. Per-rule observability: OpenTelemetry trace + Prometheus metric + structured log + incident-routing. Per-vertical rule-conflict-resolution (conflict-arbitration + authoritative-source + lex-specialis preference + lex-posterior preference). Per-vertical rule- precedence (federal > state > local). Per-rule severity P0-P4.

Audit

Per-vertical per-rule WORM maintenance record: per- rule snapshot + version + citation + cadence absorption + contract-test + regression-test + Sigstore Cosign attestation + Rekor entry + SLSA Level 3+ provenance + in-toto + SBOM + per-anchor gate-pass + AI-ML provenance + EU AI Act FRIA.

The real ecosystem this sits above

Author + Version + Validate + Audit does not replace rule-engines, schema-validators, or per-vertical authoritative-source tracking. It sits above them and writes one canonical per-vertical per-rule maintenance record.

The first anchor is operationally distinctive: per-vertical rule-library + rule-versioning + rule-deprecation + rule-sunset + contract-test + regression-test + rule-author + rule-reviewer + rule- citation + rule-cadence + rule-precedence + rule-conflict- resolution converge on every per-vertical rule maintenance decision.

FAQ

What is per-vertical schema validation with maintained rule libraries — and what is the per-vertical-rule-library-times-rule-versioning-times-rule-deprecation-times-rule-cadence-times-rule-precedence-times-rule-conflict-resolution problem distinctive to this skill?: A DTC ecommerce operator with 50,000-2M SKUs across health-products + supplements + alcohol + tobacco + + cosmetics + medical-devices + food + apparel + electronics + automotive ships per-vertical schema validation rules across 100-1000+ rules per vertical + per-marketplace + per-jurisdiction. Each vertical ships its own FDA + DEA + alcohol + + tobacco + DSHEA + cosmetic + medical-device + per-state pharmacy board + per-state attorney advertising rules. Each rule requires versioning (semver MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) + deprecation policy + sunset clause + contract-test + regression-test + enforcement-incident retrospective + rule-author identification + rule-reviewer Code Owners + rule-citation (CFR + USC + EUR-Lex + state-regulation + professional-licensing-board) + rule-cadence (CFR quarterly + USC annual + FDA monthly + EU Official Journal weekly + state biannual + emergency hotfix). The four-skill bundle on the per-vertical-rule-library agent — Author, Version, Validate, Audit — sits above the per-vertical rule-engine + schema-validator + per-vertical rule-citation substrate (TypeScript + JSON Schema + Apache Avro + Protobuf + Confluent Schema Registry + AJV + Zod + io-ts + Yup + Joi + Cerberus + Pydantic + Schema.org Validator + Google Rich Results Test + Bing Markup Validator + Sitebulb + Screaming Frog + OnCrawl) and writes a per-vertical per-rule canonical maintenance record.

Why do AJV + Zod + io-ts + Pydantic + Schema.org Validator + Google Rich Results Test + Bing Markup Validator + Sitebulb + Screaming Frog break at multi-vertical-100-1000-rule-multi-jurisdiction scale?: Each rule-engine + schema-validator vendor ships per-account flat schema-validation primitive at single-rule level. None coordinates per-vertical 100-1000+ rules per vertical + per-rule versioning + per-rule deprecation + per-rule sunset + per-rule contract-test + per-rule regression-test + per-rule enforcement-incident retrospective + per-vertical rule-author + per-vertical rule-reviewer + per-vertical rule-citation + per-vertical rule-cadence + per-vertical rule-precedence + per-vertical rule-conflict-resolution. None handles per-vertical authoritative-source absorption (CFR quarterly + USC annual + FDA monthly + EU Official Journal weekly + state biannual + emergency hotfix). None gates against per-vertical FDA + DEA + alcohol + + tobacco + DSHEA + cosmetic + medical device + per-state pharmacy board convergence. None enforces Sigstore Cosign attestation + Rekor transparency log + SLSA Level 3+ supply chain attestation + in-toto attestation + SBOM + EO 14028 + NIST SSDF SP 800-218 when per-vertical rule library deploys. None writes a per-vertical per-rule WORM maintenance audit trail. The four-skill bundle Author + Version + Validate + Audit sits above the per-vertical rule-engine + schema-validator + per-vertical rule-citation substrate — it does not replace it.

Two ways to engage. The Tier 1 AI Readiness Assessment maps the per-vertical rule-engine + schema-validator + per-vertical rule-citation substrate + per-vertical rule- library + rule-versioning + rule-cadence + rule-precedence + rule-conflict-resolution surface against the Author + Version + Validate + Audit bundle. The Tier 3 Fractional CMO with AI Swarm embeds 1-2 days per week for 6+ months and runs the bundle end-to-end against the per-vertical- rule-library agent across the swarm.
