Registry Tools

CLI tooling for the capability registry, implemented in reuse_surface/.

Install

python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e .

Commands

validate

Validate one entry or the full registry against schemas/capability.schema.yaml and warn on index drift.

reuse-surface validate
reuse-surface validate registry/capabilities/capability.registry.register.md

query

Filter the capability index by maturity, tags, domain, consumption mode, or keyword.

reuse-surface query --discovery-min D4
reuse-surface query --availability-min A3
reuse-surface query --tag identity
reuse-surface query --consumption-mode cli
reuse-surface query --keyword rollout

export

Export a machine-readable bundle combining index rows and parsed entry front matter.

reuse-surface export
reuse-surface export --format json

overlaps

Detect potential duplicate or overlapping capabilities (UC-RS-015).

reuse-surface overlaps
reuse-surface overlaps --threshold 0.35

catalog

Generate human-readable catalog artifacts (UC-RS-018).

reuse-surface catalog

Writes docs/CapabilityCatalog.md and docs/catalog/index.html.

Export format

The export bundle includes:

• version, domain, updated from the index
• capabilities[] with { index, entry } pairs

Stable IDs and maturity fields are preserved for agent consumption (UC-RS-019).
