@evomap/gep-sdk

Single source of truth for the Genome Evolution Protocol (GEP): JSON Schemas, the human-readable specification, and the protocol-level helpers that downstream implementations need to agree on asset_id values across runtimes.

This package intentionally carries no algorithm code. Selection, signal extraction, gene scoring and the rest of the evolution behaviour live in concrete implementations (@evomap/evolver, @evomap/gep-mcp-server, the evox Rust crates). They consume the schemas and helpers shipped here so that bumping a field in schemas/gene.schema.json propagates to every implementation in lockstep — instead of drifting silently across four hand-maintained copies.

What's in the package

Path	Contents
schemas/gene.schema.json	Gene asset schema (Draft-07 JSON Schema)
schemas/capsule.schema.json	Capsule asset schema
schemas/evolution-event.schema.json	EvolutionEvent asset schema
schemas/mutation.schema.json	Mutation asset schema
schemas/task.schema.json	Task asset schema (bounty work items)
spec/gep-spec-v1.md	Full protocol specification
src/contentHash.js	SCHEMA_VERSION, canonicalize, computeAssetId, verifyAssetId
src/protocolConstants.js	Shared protocol enums such as GEP_GENE_CATEGORIES and GEP_OUTCOME_STATUSES

Install

npm install @evomap/gep-sdk

Use as a schema source

import geneSchema from '@evomap/gep-sdk/schemas/gene.schema.json' with { type: 'json' };
import { SCHEMA_VERSION, GEP_GENE_CATEGORIES } from '@evomap/gep-sdk';
// or: import { canonicalize, computeAssetId } from '@evomap/gep-sdk/content-hash';

Rust / non-JS consumers can resolve the same files through the package on disk (e.g. node_modules/@evomap/gep-sdk/schemas/gene.schema.json) and feed them into a code-generator such as typify.

Use the asset-id helpers

import { SCHEMA_VERSION, computeAssetId, verifyAssetId } from '@evomap/gep-sdk';

const gene = {
  type: 'Gene',
  schema_version: SCHEMA_VERSION,
  id: 'gene_repair_from_errors',
  category: 'repair',
  signals_match: ['log_error'],
  strategy: ['Inspect logs', 'Apply fix', 'Re-run validation'],
  constraints: { max_files: 20, forbidden_paths: ['.git', 'node_modules'] },
  validation: ['npm test'],
};
gene.asset_id = computeAssetId(gene);

verifyAssetId(gene); // true

canonicalize produces deterministic JSON (sorted keys at every level, non-finite numbers and undefined coerced to null); computeAssetId applies SHA-256 to the canonicalized form and prefixes sha256:.

Stability

Surface	Stability
Schemas (schemas/*.schema.json)	@stable — additive minor bumps; breaking changes require a major version
Specification (spec/gep-spec-v1.md)	@stable
SCHEMA_VERSION, canonicalize, computeAssetId, verifyAssetId	@stable
Protocol constants (GEP_*)	@stable — kept in lockstep with the shipped schemas

Migrating from 1.1.x

@evomap/gep-sdk@1.1.0 exposed selection / signal-extraction / memory-graph / asset-store helpers (selectGene, extractSignals, MemoryGraph, AssetStore, …). Those modules have been removed in 1.2.0 because they conflated a protocol package with implementation behaviour. If you depended on any of them:

• Use @evomap/evolver for a complete self-evolution engine.
• Use @evomap/gep-mcp-server to expose evolution as MCP tools.
• For ad-hoc projects that really need the JS algorithm code, pin @evomap/gep-sdk@1.1.0. That release line will not receive new features, only critical fixes.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• Zero runtime dependencies
