Capability Model¶
EmbrAIon uses explicit capability types to avoid mixing policy, responsibility, procedure, orchestration, and facts.
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Rule | Required / prohibited / protected behavior |
| Agent | Responsibility and ownership |
| Skill | Repeatable procedure |
| Workflow | Ordered orchestration |
| Routing | Task/risk classification, execution constraints, host resolution, and optional project overrides |
| Tool | Deterministic operation |
| Adapter | Host/transport integration and projection |
| Knowledge | Facts and architecture |
A canonical capability should have one primary type. Cross-references are preferred over duplicating the same content in several types.
Routing is intentionally model-agnostic. Concrete model names, provider rates, lifecycle state, and host availability are not canonical Core capabilities.
EmbrAIon does provide reusable mechanisms for deployment eligibility, provider-neutral execution, pricing refresh/snapshots, health, and evidence. The concrete models, providers, rates, source URLs, and availability facts remain project- or host-owned.
Core engineering skills cover reusable procedures such as compatibility migration, test design, dependency upgrades, performance investigation, and skill authoring. A live skill evaluation can compare baseline and candidate behavior in fresh host sessions; a supplied execution record only checks recorded data. A skill-read event is narrow evidence of reading, not proof that the skill caused an outcome.
Optional external capabilities have their own declared and observed lifecycle. An inventory declaration does not prove installation, host discovery, instruction loading, tool readiness, or execution. Domain-specific capabilities are installed and managed independently through the host. Project facts and review gates still govern their use.
Deterministic organization checks apply incrementally to changed code. Existing debt is a baseline to distinguish new violations, not an exemption. Checkpoints and knowledge audits retain local freshness references; neither promotes learning or grants approval.
