ucp — Universal Context Package reference library (Python)
Reference implementation of the UCP specification (v0.1.0-draft): schema validation, typed Pydantic models, and canonical CommonMark rendering for LLM prompts with token budgeting.
pip install pyucp # distribution "pyucp", import name "ucp"
Quickstart
import ucp
# Load and validate a package (raises ucp.UCPValidationError on failure)
pkg = ucp.load("task.ucp.json")
print(pkg.entity.title)
print(pkg.must_know[0].text)
# Canonical prompt rendering (SPEC §7.1)
prompt = ucp.render(pkg)
# Under a token budget: truncates by ascending salience, drops sections
# in the order defined by SPEC §7.2 (summary/conflicts/diff survive longest)
prompt = ucp.render(pkg, token_budget=1500)
# Validation without parsing into models
errors = ucp.iter_errors({"ucp_version": "0.1.0"}) # -> list of messages
# Referential integrity (ucp-core profile): every claim source key must exist
dangling = pkg.verify_references() # -> [] when clean
What this library guarantees
- Schema validation against the bundled JSON Schema (draft 2020-12),
identical to
specs/ucp/schema/ucp.schema.json. - Must-ignore semantics: unknown fields are preserved, never rejected
(SPEC §6.1) — models use
extra="allow". - Provenance enforcement: a claim without sources fails both schema validation and model parsing.
- Deterministic rendering: the same package always renders to the same prompt, so downstream LLM behavior is reproducible.
Token counting uses a fast len(text) / 4 heuristic; pass your own counter
via render(pkg, token_budget=..., count_tokens=fn) for exact budgets.
Development
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest
Tests run against the spec's examples/ and conformance/ suites when the
repository layout is available.
