Capability Contracts

Explicit contracts make capabilities discoverable, composable, authorizable and verifiable across versions.

Core idea

Capability Contracts

A capability contract describes more than an API call. It connects identity, inputs, outputs, errors, permissions, resources, artifacts, evidence, observability and lifecycle for a capability.

Role in Orthevs

Orthevs Ecosystem

Labs publish capabilities through versioned contracts. Foundations reference these contracts instead of accessing internal implementations or databases directly.

Key aspects

Key aspects

  • Semantic identity and version
  • Typed inputs and outputs
  • Security, runtime and observability rules
  • Compatibility, deprecation and upgrade

Context and boundaries

Context and boundaries

A contract does not replace domain suitability assessment.

Compatibility must be evidenced by tests and real consumers.

Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure definitions are versioned, reviewed and executed reproducibly instead of being created only through undocumented manual changes.
