/modelSet model to Opus 4.8 and saved as your default for new sessionsHello! let's do something fun! I want you to run and read dizzy onboard to get an idea of what dizzy is, and how it works. In this directory, I want you to build a standalone vanilla HTML/JS file that shows a
mock robot arm that can pick up a sample from one of a few locations, and move it to various 'processors' to change it. While this happens, on the side we want to see commands and critical events flow to a
queue, and we want to see those commands and events "flow" to their various processes (procedures and projections and policies) in a stylized network graph. The intent is NOT to build a full, actual dizzy
library - rather, to create an interactive visualization of what a dizzy library looks and behaves like. You can have all other freedoms to change and shape this as you wish - including using other tools to
build HTML/JS if you would like (delivering as a static web page is our only hard requirement)
Do not explore or investigate other directories - this is a blank slate and requires no extra information :)

## What DIZZY is
DIZZY is a philosophy/toolchain for event-driven systems. The design lives in one
artifact — the **feature-file** (`.feat.yaml`) — never in an LLM context window.
Every `dizzy` command reads the feature-file; several write to it. If you are an agent
working on a DIZZY project, the feature-file is your map and your contract: change it
deliberately, and regenerate rather than hand-edit generated code.
Two loops drive everything:
```
Commands → Procedures → Events → Policies → Commands (reactivity loop)
Events → Projections → Models → Queriers → Procedures (data loop)
```
## The eight components
| Component | Symbol | Role | Naming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Command | `c` | Write intent — a request to do something | imperative snake_case (`ingest_receipt_image`) |
| Procedure | `d` | Handles exactly one command; may call queries; emits events | snake_case verb phrase |
| Event | `e` | Immutable fact — a record of what happened; the source of truth | past-tense snake_case (`receipt_ingested`) |
| Policy | `y` | Reacts to one event; may dispatch new commands | snake_case |
| Projection | `j` | Folds events into a model (read-optimized state) | snake_case |
| Model | `m` | Named read-side schema, served through adapters | plural snake_case (`receipts`) |
| Query | `q` | Typed question — Input/Output contract | snake_case |
| Querier | `Q` | Answers a query from a model via an adapter | snake_case |
Today's feature-file expresses the query/querier pair as a single `queries:` entry —
typed Input/Output plus the callable that answers it.
## The feature-file's role
`.feat.yaml` declares every component, its wiring (which command a procedure handles,
which events it may emit, which model a querier reads), and prose/mermaid descriptions.
It is the API of the entire ecosystem and a versioned, compatibility-guaranteed spec.
A procedure's generated interface declares exactly the command it receives, the queries
it may call, the events it may emit; exceeding declared scope is a type error.
Rules of engagement for agents:
1. Never encode design decisions only in conversation — put them in the feature-file.
2. Never hand-edit generated interfaces (`gen_def`/`gen_int`); regenerate instead.
3. Files you author (`def/` schemas, `libconfig.yaml`, implementation stubs in `lib/`)
are never clobbered by the generator — they are yours.
## Change taxonomy
Classify every change to the feature-file or its schemas before making it:
- **Additive** — new component, new optional field. Safe; regenerate and move on.
- **Contract-changing** — a slot's type, name, or requiredness changes. Consumers must
be revisited; the typechecker is your first oracle.
- **Breaking** — stored events no longer parse under the new schema. Needs an upcaster
or a compat-mode migration (optional-then-drop).
- **Lossy-to-truth** — deletes or stops recording information from the event stream.
**One-way door.** A field nothing reads today still cannot be naively dropped:
future projections can never recover it.
The recoverability test: Models are *rebuildable* — replay the event stream through a
projection and you get them back, so model/projection/querier changes are cheap.
Events are *irreducible* — what was never recorded is gone forever. Spend your caution
budget on the event side.
## Exemplar events — good and bad
Good:
- `receipt_ingested { receipt_id, image_path, ingested_at }` — past-tense fact,
observed data only, carries identity and provenance.
- `recipe_extraction_failed { recipe_id, reason }` — failures are facts too; recording
them keeps the stream honest.
Bad (and why):
- `ingest_receipt` as an event — imperative; that is a command. Events state what
*happened*, commands request what *should happen*.
- `average_order_value_updated { avg }` — a derivation recorded as if observed. Derived
values must be outputs of a procedure with provenance, or live in a model rebuilt by
a projection — never masquerade as facts.
- `user_registered { email, password_hash }` — PII-class slots in an immutable stream
you can never delete from. Route sensitive data through commands and models.
- `order_placed` and `order_submitted` sharing most slots — the same fact at two
grains. Pick one grain per fact.
## Command per lifecycle step
| Step | You want to... | Reach for | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onboard | Orient yourself / a fresh agent session | `dizzy onboard`, `dizzy docs` | shipped |
| Design | Author the feature-file | `dizzy docs authoring`, then `lint`, `simulate` | docs shipped; rest planned |
| Build | Scaffold schemas, generate types + packages | `dizzy generate definitions` → `static` → `libraries` | shipped (python-uv) |
| Change | Assess a feature-file edit | `diff`, `impact`, `compat` | planned |
| Migrate | Replace a model after a schema change | `rebuild <model>` | planned |
| Run | Observe / compare runtime vs. design | `trace`, `drift` | planned |
| Adopt | Wrap a legacy API as commands/events | `wrap` | planned |
| Deploy | Emit a deployment profile | `deploy` | planned |
The shipped path today (run in order, authoring between each step):
```
dizzy generate definitions <feat_file> <output_dir> # scaffold def/ + libconfig.yaml — then YOU author field detail
dizzy generate static <feat_file> <output_dir> # compile def/ → gen_def + gen_int type packages
dizzy generate libraries <feat_file> <output_dir> # per-runtime element packages — then YOU implement the stubs
```
For the full per-command reference and roadmap: `dizzy docs cli`.
For the authoring contract (what you write after each stage): `dizzy docs authoring`.
Let me read the additional docs to fully understand the model.

DIZZY is a philosophy/toolchain for event-driven systems with eight components
(Command `c`, Procedure `d`, Event `e`, Policy `y`, Projection `j`, Model `m`,
Query `q`, Querier `Q`). The **feature-file** (`.feat.yaml`) declares every component,
its wiring, prose/mermaid descriptions, and (eventually) field-level slot mappings.
The feature-file is the API of the entire ecosystem: every command below reads it, and
several write to it. Treat its format as a versioned, compatibility-guaranteed spec.
(Today's feature-file expresses the query/querier pair as a single `queries:` entry —
typed Input/Output plus the callable that answers it.)
Core thesis: the design lives in the artifact, never in an LLM context window. LLMs are
replaceable components sandwiched between deterministic checks.

# Shipped commands
## dizzy generate
Feature-file → LinkML schemas → typed data contracts + process interfaces → per-language
library artifacts. A procedure's interface declares exactly the command it receives, the
queries it may call, the events it may emit; exceeding declared scope is a type error.
The spine of the toolchain; everything else is decoration until this works.
Generation is a three-stage pipeline with **human-in-the-loop** authoring at each
handoff. Generated interfaces are always overwritten; files you author (`def/` schemas,
`libconfig.yaml`, and the implementation stubs in `lib/`) are never clobbered.
### dizzy generate definitions <feat_file> <output_dir>
Scaffold LinkML schema stubs into `def/` plus a `libconfig.yaml` assigning a runtime to
each element. **You then author** field-level detail: attributes on commands/events,
model classes, query input/output shapes. `--default-runtime` picks the runtime written
into the libconfig stub (default `python-uv`).
### dizzy generate static <feat_file> <output_dir>
Compile your authored `def/` schemas through the LinkML toolchain into the static type
packages under `lib/python-uv/`: `gen_def` (Pydantic + SQLAlchemy models) and `gen_int`
(typed Protocols, contexts, adapters). Each is an installable package. Requires `def/`
stubs; run `definitions` first.
### dizzy generate libraries <feat_file> <output_dir>
Read `libconfig.yaml` and package every element (procedure/policy/projection/query)
into its own redistributable per-runtime package with a real-signature implementation
stub in `src/` for you to fill in. Writes the workspace manifest; a generated
`lib/<runtime>/` is self-contained and can be lifted out and shipped on its own.
**Open requirement:** must work end-to-end in **at least two target languages** (this
is what proves the language-agnostic claim). Today `python-uv` is complete;
`rust-cargo` and `typescript-npm` generate types + stubs but not protocols/contexts.
> The legacy verbs `dizzy def` / `dizzy gen` / `dizzy lib` are deprecated aliases for
> `generate definitions` / `generate static` / `generate libraries`.
## dizzy docs [page]
Print DIZZY documentation to stdout (pretty-rendered on a terminal, plain markdown when
piped — agent-friendly either way). Pages:
- `cli` (default) — this manpage/roadmap.
- `authoring` — the agent guide: every component, the `.feat.yaml` shape, what you
author after each stage, the generated layout, import conventions.
## dizzy config
Print a template `.dizzy.yaml` configuration file (logging options).
## dizzy onboard
Prints a high-level overview of DIZZY and how to use this CLI, written for coding agents
(Claude Code, OpenCode, pi, etc.). Modeled on the `seeds` tool's `prime` verb.
Content includes: the eight components, the feature-file's role, the change taxonomy
(what's recoverable from the event stream vs. not), exemplar good/bad events with reasons,
and which command to reach for at each lifecycle step. Builds on `docs`; `onboard` is the
opinionated workflow layer over the reference pages (printed by `dizzy onboard`).

# Roadmap
## dizzy validate
Structural validation of a feature-file (and, when present, a scenario file):
parse, schema-check, and verify referential integrity — procedures handle declared
commands, emit declared events, query declared queries; projections/queries target
declared models; scenario commands exist in the feature-file. Exit nonzero with
actionable errors. This is the cheap, always-run gate (`load_feat` + `validate_feat`
already exist; this exposes them as a verb). `lint` layers semantic/taxonomy rules on
top of `validate`; every other command should call `validate` implicitly on load.
## dizzy lint
Deterministic checks over a feature-file. The change/event taxonomy expressed as rules:
- Events named as past-tense facts; Commands imperative.
- Fact vs. derivation: derived values (e.g. averages) must be modeled as outputs of a
Procedure/Activity with provenance, not recorded as if observed.
- No PII-class slots in Events (route through Commands).
- Grain consistency: events sharing many slots flagged as possible same-fact-two-grains.
- Orphans: events no policy/projection consumes; procedures emitting nothing;
queries targeting no model.
- Compat-mode checks against declared stored-event schemas.
Exit nonzero on error-level findings. Output: structured findings (JSON + pretty).
May delegate schema-level checks to existing LinkML linting where available.
## dizzy diff
Structural diff between two feature-file versions: components/edges/slots
added, removed, renamed, retyped. Foundation for `impact` (impact = diff + graph walk).
Output: machine-readable change set, classified per the change taxonomy
(additive / contract-changing / breaking / lossy-to-truth).
## dizzy impact
Question: "If I make this change to this component, what must I look at next?"
Input: a component name (coarse mode) or a `diff` change set (pointed mode).
Output: the affected **subgraph** (not a tree — the c→d→e→y→c reactivity loop means cycles
are the norm; emit as BFS spanning tree with annotated back-edges, visited-set required).
Traversal terminates at unchanged contract boundaries, not at a depth limit
(depth is a display option only). Graphical rendering of the subgraph belongs to the
separate visualization repo; this command's product is the machine-readable verdict set.
Every node gets a verdict: `must-change` | `must-review` (with the open question attached)
| `unaffected-proven` (with the proof), plus a recoverability bit
(rebuildable from event stream vs. irreducible).
Four tiers of discovery, run in order, each scoping the next:
1. **Slot lineage (deterministic).** Field-level walk of declarations: which procedures
write a slot, which projections map it to which model columns, which queries return it.
Sound w.r.t. what's declared. Requires feature-file/LinkML to declare projection
mappings at field granularity — closing that spec gap is part of this work.
2. **Compiler oracle (deterministic).** Spin a git worktree, apply the change, regenerate
contracts, run each target language's typechecker. Type errors are worklist items.
Strength varies by language; report confidence accordingly.
3. **Event-store compat (deterministic).** Old schema vs. new: backward/forward
compatibility verdict. Even a field nothing reads can't be naively dropped if stored
events carry it. Also flag lossy-to-truth changes ("this field becomes unrecoverable
for future projections") — deleting from the source of truth is a one-way door.
4. **LLM semantic review (judgment).** Given the proven-affected set from tiers 1–3,
assess only what types can't see: does the change alter what an event *means*; is
anything relying on a field's presence as a signal. Never used for enumeration.
Integration: `--emit seeds` writes the worklist as seeds tasks in topological order.
Keep the emitter behind a small interface so other orchestrators can be added.
## dizzy simulate
LLM-driven execution of a feature-file with **no code generation and no deployment**.
Component descriptions (prose / pseudocode / mermaid) are the prompts — author them as
YAML block scalars (`|`/`>`) with enough detail to execute (see `dizzy docs authoring`,
"Descriptions Are Design").
Initial stimulus comes from lightweight **scenario files** (`*.scenario.yaml`): a
description plus an ordered list of starting commands with prose payload sketches.
One scenario per probe; keep a collection per feature.
Scheduler: phased single-thread loop — drain the event queue, then the command queue,
repeat. This *selects one legal interleaving* (sequentially consistent best case); it does
not prove race freedom. That boundary is explicit; exhaustive interleaving checks are
future TLA+ work generated from the same feature-file.
Architecture (the constraints live in the harness, not the prompt):
- Each component activation = one narrow LLM call: the component's description, the
triggering message, and **tools generated on the fly from declared wiring only**.
A procedure that may emit two event types gets exactly two emit tools. No tool, no emission.
- Harness validates every emitted payload against the declared schema; nonconforming
output is rejected, never silently accepted.
- Models must not heal gaps. Every node gets one always-present tool: `report_finding`
(missing slot, ambiguous description, undecidable branch, unanswerable query).
**The product of a run is its findings list; the trace is secondary.**

# Dizzy Reference — AI Agent Guide
## What Is Dizzy
Dizzy is a code generator for event-driven architectures. You describe a feature in a
`.feat.yaml` file, then Dizzy scaffolds LinkML schemas and generates typed Python
protocols and implementation stubs.
The system has two feedback loops:
**Reactivity loop** — Commands flow into Procedures, which emit Events. Events trigger
Policies, which dispatch new Commands. This cycle drives all side effects.
**Data loop** — Events feed Projections, which build Models (read-optimized state).
Queries read from Models and are available to Procedures. This cycle makes data
queryable.
```
Commands → Procedures → Events → Policies → Commands (reactivity)
Events → Projections → Models → Queries → Procedures (data)
```
---
## The Seven Components
### Models
Named database schemas. Declare schema name + adapters in the feat file. Define actual
classes (tables/entities) in a separate LinkML file under `def/models/`.
```yaml
models:
receipts:
description: Schema for receipts
adapters: [sqla, relative_filesystem]
```
Names are plural, lowercase, snake_case. Each model can have multiple adapters
(e.g., `sqla` for SQL, `relative_filesystem` for file storage).
### Commands
Write intents — requests for the system to do something. Become Pydantic data classes
after generation. Use imperative snake_case names.
```yaml
commands:
ingest_receipt_image: Path to receipt image
```
String shorthand (`name: description`) expands to `{name, description}`.
### Events
Immutable domain facts — records of what happened. Become Pydantic data classes.
Use past-tense snake_case names.
```yaml
events:
receipt_ingested: New Receipt Added
```
### Queries
Read operations. Each query has a typed Input, Output, and a Protocol callable.
Queries bind to one model + adapter for data access.
```yaml
queries:
get_receipt:
description: Retrieves a receipt by ID
model: receipts
adapter: sqla
```
Fields: `description` (required), `model` (optional), `adapter` (required if model set).
### Procedures
Command handlers — where business logic lives. Each procedure handles exactly one
command, may use queries for reads, and emits events as output.
```yaml
procedures:
extract_receipt_data_from_image:
description: Use an LLM to extract receipt data from an image
command: ingest_receipt_image
emits: [receipt_ingested, receipt_item_ingested]
```
Fields: `command` (required), `queries` (optional list), `emits` (optional list),
`environment` (optional list), `telemetry` (optional list).
### Policies
Event-driven reaction handlers. Each policy listens to one event, may consult queries
for reads, and **dispatches commands only** — never events. A query informs *which*
command a policy dispatches (and with what arguments); to change state, the policy emits
a command that flows through the normal command → procedure → event chain.
```yaml
policies:
notify_next_on_return:
description: When a book is returned, notify the next patron in the hold queue
event: book_returned
queries: [get_next_hold]
emits: [notify_next_patron]
```
Fields: `event` (required), `queries` (optional list of query names), `emits` (optional
list of command names), `environment` (optional list), `telemetry` (optional list).
See the "A policy that consults a query" tutorial (`docs/tutorials/library.md`) for a
runnable policy-with-query feature.
### Projections
Read-model builders. Respond to one event and write denormalized state into a model
via an adapter. Queries read what projections write.
```yaml
projections:
receipt_store:
description: Stores ingested receipt in the receipts model
event: receipt_ingested
model: receipts
adapter: sqla
```
Fields: `description` (required), `event` (required), `model` (optional),
`adapter` (required if model set), `environment` (optional list),
`telemetry` (optional list).
### Environment and Telemetry (context inputs)
Two optional top-level sections supply extra inputs to a function's `context`.
Neither is a component — they are injected dependencies, declared once and
referenced by name from procedures, policies, projections, and queriers.
**Environment** declares injected constants/variables — acquired from the host
in place of reading `os.environ`. Each entry names a shape you author in
`def/environment.yaml`; it surfaces as `context.env.<name>`.
**Telemetry** declares host-injected observation sinks — callables the function
invokes with a typed payload (the emitters pattern, but for observation rather
than durable facts). A telemetry call is a *transport* concern: streamed tokens,
progress, metrics. It is **never** recorded as an event. Each entry names the
payload shape you author in `def/telemetry.yaml`; it surfaces as
`context.telemetry.<name>(payload)`.
```yaml
environment:
model: |
The LLM model configuration (provider, model name, decoding params),
injected by the host in place of an os env var.
telemetry:
stream_chunk: Sink for live LLM token chunks forwarded to the SSE transport.
procedures:
run_agent_turn:
description: Stream an agent reply, then record the completed fact.
command: send_message
emits: [agent_replied]
environment: [model]
telemetry: [stream_chunk]
```
Any of `procedures`, `policies`, `projections`, and `queries` (the querier)
may carry `environment` and `telemetry` lists. Each referenced name must be
declared in the top-level `environment` / `telemetry` sections.
---
## Descriptions Are Design
A component's `description` is not a comment — it is the design. Downstream tooling
treats it as executable prose: `dizzy simulate` uses descriptions as the *prompts* for
component activations, and `scaffold` embeds them as docstrings. A one-line description
simulates as a one-line brain.
Use YAML block scalars to give descriptions room — `|` preserves line breaks
(pseudocode, mermaid), `>` folds prose:
```yaml
procedures:
lend_book:
description: |
Decide whether a member may borrow a book, and record the outcome.
Check availability via get_book_availability. If no copies are on the
shelf, emit borrow_rejected with the reason. If the book has a
reservation queue, only the member at the head of the queue may borrow.
```mermaid
flowchart TD
cmd[borrow_book] --> avail{copies available?}
avail -- no --> rej[borrow_rejected]
avail -- yes --> head{reserved by someone else?}
head -- yes --> rej
head -- no --> ok[book_borrowed]
```
command: borrow_book
queries: [get_book_availability]
emits: [book_borrowed, borrow_rejected]
```
This is a great project. I now understand DIZZY well:
Let me map a robot-lab domain onto DIZZY and build the visualization. Here's my design:
Domain: A sample-handling arm. Commands (pick_up_sample, move_arm, process_sample, deposit_sample) flow through procedures that physically drive the arm, emit events, which trigger policies (that dispatch the next command, closing the reactivity loop) and projections (that fold into read models, the data loop).
Let me build it.

NO JS ERRORS
Shell cwd was reset to /home/conrad/website/project-dizzy-viz/opusNo JS errors, and a full cycle ran (8 messages, 1 sample processed, 22 graph nodes). Let me look at the screenshots to check the visual quality.
Excellent — this looks great! The arm reaches the centrifuge holding S1, the queue shows the message flow with the critical event highlighted, and the graph is pulsing. Let me check the second screenshot and note one issue: the row labels on the left of the graph ("Commands/Procedures/Events") are clipped by the nodes.
The full cycle completed cleanly: S1 was transformed to blue (centrifuge) and returned to Rack A, and stats model shows count 1. The one visual glitch is the left-column band labels ("Commands/Procedures/Events") being clipped by the leftmost nodes. Let me rotate them vertically into the gutter.

Let me view the graph screenshot to confirm the labels are fixed.
The graph now reads cleanly — vertical band labels in the gutter, clear component columns, and both loops visible (solid reactivity edges plus dashed data-loop edges and the orange get_recipe → run_processor read edge).
Everything works end-to-end with no JS errors. Let me record a bit of durable context about DIZZY since it's central to your work.

Done! Built and verified end-to-end. Here's what you've got.
opus/index.html — DIZZY LABA single standalone vanilla HTML/JS file (no dependencies, no build). Three live panels:
🦾 Robot Lab (left) — An IK-solved 2-link arm picks a sample from one of three racks, carries it to a processor (🌀 Centrifuge / 🔥 Incubator / 🔬 Spectrometer), the processor animates and transforms the sample (color changes by processor), then the arm returns it. The procedures literally drive the physical motion.
📨 Message Queue (middle) — Commands (cyan) and events (amber) stream in as cards as they happen, with payloads. Critical events (sample_transformed, sample_deposited) get a rose "◆ critical" badge and glow.
🕸 Component Graph (right) — The .feat.yaml wiring as a stylized network, laid out in DIZZY's component bands (Commands → Procedures → Events → Policies → Projections → Models, plus a Query). Animated particles flow along the edges as messages propagate; nodes pulse when they fire; model nodes tick up a live count.
Both loops are faithfully modeled and visibly animate:
c→d→e→y→c: pick_up_sample → grip_sample → sample_gripped → route_after_grip → move_arm → … — policies dispatch the next command, closing the cycle.e→j→m→q→d: events fan out to projections (sample_ledger, arm_tracker, throughput) that fold into models, and run_processor consults the get_recipe query (the orange "read" edge).Pick a sample + processor and Dispatch cycle, or hit Auto to run continuous randomized cycles, with a speed slider.
Verified: rendered in headless Chromium — no JS/console errors, a full cycle drives all 8 message emissions, and all three models (arm_state, samples, stats) increment correctly.
Open it directly: file:///home/conrad/website/project-dizzy-viz/opus/index.html
One note — it's a mock of the runtime semantics for visualization, exactly as you asked, not a real dizzy library; the topology and message flow mirror how an actual feature-file would wire up.
