# HyperTwist Phase S1-A first-party skill registry and manifest contract implementation packet

Created on `2026-05-28`

## Status

- first-party HyperTwist packet
- bounded `Phase S1-A` implementation slice

## Purpose

This packet lands the bounded first-party skill registry and manifest contract
seam under the canonical `Skillization And Command Surface` doctrine.

The landed slice is:

- first-party skill manifest schema
- skill id, version, owner lane, and status fields
- command/service binding declaration
- permission/scope declaration
- provenance/log declaration

It is not:

- settings/menu/off-state runtime controls
- invocation/provenance audit ledger execution
- permissive analyzer wrappers
- restrictive clean-room command-contract specs

## Current authority basis

This implementation packet stands on:

- `docs/ops/HYPERTWIST_SKILLIZATION_AND_COMMAND_SURFACE_DOCTRINE_2026-05-21.md`
- `docs/ops/HYPERTWIST_OPTIONAL_ASSISTIVE_FEATURE_DEACTIVATION_AND_REMOVABILITY_DOCTRINE_2026-05-21.md`
- `docs/ops/HYPERTWIST_IMPLEMENTATION_PHASE_1_KICKOFF.md`
- `docs/v6_5_deep_manual_pack/HyperTwist/ARCHITECTURE.md`
- `docs/v6_5_deep_manual_pack/HyperTwist/FEATURE_REGISTRY.md`
- `docs/v6_5_deep_manual_pack/HyperTwist/SKILLS.md`
- `docs/v6_5_deep_manual_pack/HyperTwist/PROVENANCE_AND_TRUST_MODEL.md`
- `docs/arch/HYPERTWIST_PHASES1_A_FIRST_PARTY_SKILL_REGISTRY_AND_MANIFEST_CONTRACT_PREPARATION_PACKET_2026-05-28.md`

The preserved owners do not change:

- first-party HyperTwist remains the owner of the product command surface
- optional assistive skills remain product-owned adjunct declarations rather
  than donor command truth
- analyzer, memory, provider, and domain skill families remain later bounded
  wrappers rather than shipped invocation owners

## Landed scope

The current code now owns a bounded first-party skill registry seam through:

- canonical skill status, family, command-binding, permission-scope,
  provenance-declaration, manifest-entry, and registry-state types in:
  - `HyperTwistSkillTypes.h`
- first-party skill-registry derivation in:
  - `UHyperTwistSkillCoreLibrary`
- current bounded manifest coverage for:
  - the landed registry-governance substrate
  - declared analyzer/review family
  - declared memory/continuity family
  - declared provider/ops family
  - declared clean-room-pending training/coaching family
  - declared placeholder domain/creative family
- current bounded disabled-skill installation/inertness truth through:
  - explicit registry and per-skill fields proving disabled entries remain
    installed but inert
- sample contract helpers in:
  - `UHyperTwistContractLibrary::MakeSampleSkillRegistryState()`
  - `UHyperTwistContractLibrary::SerializeSkillRegistryStateToJson(...)`
  - `UHyperTwistContractLibrary::DeserializeSkillRegistryStateFromJson(...)`
- focused automation coverage in:
  - `HyperTwistSkillPhaseS1ARegistryManifestContractTest.cpp`

## Why this is still intentionally bounded

This packet lands declarations only.

Still deferred:

- actual settings/menu/off-state runtime controls
- invocation/provenance audit ledger execution
- permissive analyzer wrappers
- restrictive clean-room command-contract specs

## Validation

Build validation:

- `UnrealHyperTwistEditor Win64 Development`

Focused automation validation:

- `HyperTwist.FirstParty.Skill.PhaseS1A.RegistryManifest`
- `HyperTwist.FirstParty.Skill.PhaseS1A.DisabledSkillsRemainInstalled`
- `HyperTwist.FirstParty.Skill.PhaseS1A.SerializationRoundTrip`

Observed:

- `3` focused `Phase S1-A` automation tests succeeded

## Queue effect

This packet consumes the current `Phase S1-A` implementation slice.

After this landing:

- `S1-A` is landed in current code
- `S1-B` is the next clean skillization move
- do not jump straight from `S1-A` to analyzer wrappers or restrictive command
  specs
