Swop is a Python toolkit for inspecting, reconciling, and maintaining the architecture of full-stack CQRS projects. It scans Python source for commands, queries, events, and handlers; generates deterministic manifests; detects schema drift; and exports the runtime state graph to multiple formats.

Installation

pip install swop

Development install:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Requires Python 3.8+ and PyYAML.

---

Quick Start

1. Initialise a project

swop init

Scaffolds swop.yaml and the .swop/ state directory in the current folder.

2. Annotate your domain code

from dataclasses import dataclass
from swop import command, handler

@command("billing")
@dataclass
class IssueInvoice:
    customer_id: int
    amount: float

@handler(IssueInvoice)
class IssueInvoiceHandler:
    def handle(self, cmd: IssueInvoice) -> int:
        return cmd.customer_id

3. Scan and generate manifests

swop scan --format json
swop gen manifests

4. Watch for changes

swop watch

Re-runs the scan and regenerates manifests automatically when any .py file changes.

---

CQRS Decorators

swop provides lightweight, no-op decorators that register decorated classes in a module-global registry. They do not change runtime behaviour, so existing code continues to work unchanged.

Decorator	Purpose	Example
@command(context)	Register a command	@command("billing") @dataclass class IssueInvoice: ...
@query(context)	Register a query	@query("catalog") @dataclass class ListProducts: ...
@event(context, emits=[...])	Register a domain event	@event("billing", emits=["InvoiceIssued"]) class PaymentReceived: ...
@handler(Target)	Register a command/query handler	@handler(IssueInvoice) class IssueInvoiceHandler: ...

All decorators expose a __swop_cqrs__ attribute on the decorated class with metadata including kind, context, source_file, and source_line.

Python API

Scan a project

from swop import scan_project, load_config

cfg = load_config("swop.yaml")
report = scan_project(cfg)

for det in report.detections:
    print(f"{det.kind:8} {det.name:20} ({det.confidence:.1f} via {det.via})")

Generate manifests

from swop import generate_manifests

manifests = generate_manifests(report, cfg)
for mf in manifests.files:
    print(mf.path)

Watch programmatically

from swop import WatchEngine, load_config

cfg = load_config("swop.yaml")
engine = WatchEngine(config=cfg, interval=0.5, debounce=0.3)

# Single-shot rebuild
from swop import rebuild_once
result = rebuild_once(cfg, incremental=True)
print(result.format())

Runtime graph

from swop import SwopRuntime

rt = SwopRuntime(mode="SOFT")
rt.add_model("Pressure", ["temp", "pressure_low", "pressure_high"])
rt.add_service("api", ["/pressure", "/status"])
rt.add_ui_binding("#sensor-temp", "temp")

drift = rt.run_sync()
print(rt.state_yaml())

---

Configuration

swop.yaml describes the project structure:

version: 1
project: my-service
source_roots: [src]
exclude: ["tests/*", "__pycache__/*"]
bounded_contexts:
  - name: billing
    source: src/billing
  - name: catalog
    source: src/catalog
    external: false
bus:
  type: rabbitmq
  url: amqp://localhost
read_models:
  engine: postgresql
  url: postgresql://localhost/mydb
state_dir: .swop

Key	Description
source_roots	Directories to scan (relative to project root)
bounded_contexts	Named contexts with source paths
exclude	Glob patterns to skip
bus	Message-bus configuration
read_models	Read-model store configuration
state_dir	Local state / cache directory

---

Manifest Generation

For each bounded context swop generates three manifest files under .swop/manifests/<context>/:

• commands.yml — all detected commands with fields
• queries.yml — all detected queries with fields
• events.yml — all detected events with fields

Example output (billing/commands.yml):

version: 1
context: billing
commands:
  IssueInvoice:
    module: billing.ops
    fields:
      - name: customer_id
        type: int
        required: true
      - name: amount
        type: float
        required: true

These manifests are the single source of truth for downstream generators (proto, gRPC, service stubs).

---

Watch Mode

The watcher uses stdlib-only mtime polling — no extra dependencies.

# Continuous watch
swop watch

# One-shot (CI friendly)
swop watch --once --no-incremental

The watcher automatically:

• Skips the state directory (.swop/) so regenerated manifests do not re-trigger a rebuild.
• Debounces bursts of changes into a single rebuild pass.
• Tracks file creation, modification, and deletion.

---

Drift Detection & Resolution

Swop compares the expected state (from manifests) with the actual state (introspected from running backend/frontend) and reports drift:

swop diff
swop resolve [--json] [--apply] [--strict] [--no-incremental]

Drift categories:

• schema — field additions, removals, type changes
• missing — expected artifacts not found in runtime
• unexpected — runtime artifacts not in manifests

Use swop sync --mode AUTO_HEAL to apply fixes automatically.

---

Refactoring

Extract modules from a full-stack project into a clean output directory:

swop refactor --out ./refactored

The refactor pipeline clusters related code, builds a composed module graph, and generates new file layouts while preserving behaviour.

---

Registry Generation

Generate a registry.json and REGISTRY.md from JSON contract files in a contracts/ directory:

swop gen registry [--contracts DIR] [--check]

Flag	Description
--contracts DIR	Contracts directory (default: <root>/contracts)
--check	Validate only; do not write output files

---

Markpact Generation

Build a SwopRuntime graph directly from a Markpact manifest (.md file with markpact:* blocks):

swop generate --from-markpact manifest.md \
  [--strict] [--sync] [--sync-files] [--sync-files-dry-run] \
  [--check-files] [--from-disk] [--from-disk-dry-run] \
  [--output-yaml PATH] [--output-docker PATH]

Flag	Description
--from-markpact FILE	Path to Markpact manifest (required)
--strict	Fail fast on any DOQL parse error
--sync	Run sync engine after building the graph
--sync-files	Materialise markpact:file blocks to their declared paths
--sync-files-dry-run	Report which files would be written without writing
--check-files	Report drift between markpact:file blocks and filesystem
--from-disk	Reverse sync: rewrite blocks with disk content
--from-disk-dry-run	Report which blocks would be updated without writing
--output-yaml PATH	Write runtime state YAML to this path
--output-docker PATH	Write docker-compose YAML to this path
