What is tigrbl_spec?

Shared Tigrbl interfaces, protocol definitions, compatibility targets, and specification artifacts for framework integration.

Why use tigrbl_spec?

Use it when you need this foundational Tigrbl layer directly as a small, focused dependency.

When should I install tigrbl_spec?

Install it for extension packages, package-local tests, or internals that need this boundary without the whole facade.

Who is tigrbl_spec for?

Framework maintainers, extension authors, and advanced users composing Tigrbl from split packages.

Where does tigrbl_spec fit?

tigrbl_spec lives at pkgs/core/tigrbl_spec and serves a focused layer in the split Tigrbl framework.

How does tigrbl_spec work?

It owns a narrow layer in the split workspace and is consumed by higher-level packages through explicit dependencies.

Certification Status

• Package status: governed package in the tigrbl/tigrbl workspace.
• Governance source: SSOT registry.
• Release evidence: publish workflow validates package builds, tests, GitHub release assets, and PyPI publication for managed packages.
• Local certification guard: pkgs/core/tigrbl_tests/tests/unit/test_package_badges_and_notices.py verifies every package README keeps the Discord badge, Apache 2.0 badge, explicit Python-version badge, LICENSE, and NOTICE.
• Scope note: this README documents the package boundary. Runtime feature support remains governed by .ssot/ entities and the conformance docs linked below.

Install

uv add tigrbl_spec

pip install tigrbl_spec

Surface Coverage

What It Owns

tigrbl_spec owns the foundational framework package boundary. It should be installed when you need this package's focused responsibility without assuming every other Tigrbl workspace package is present.

Implementation orientation:

• Module layout is intentionally small or namespace-oriented.

Public API and Import Surface

• Import roots: tigrbl_spec.
• Public symbols: __version__.
• Workspace dependencies: none declared.
• External runtime dependencies: none declared.

Usage Examples

Verify the installed package

python -m pip show tigrbl_spec
python - <<'PY'
from importlib.metadata import version
print(version("tigrbl_spec"))
PY

Import the package boundary

import importlib

module = importlib.import_module("tigrbl_spec")
print(module.__name__)

Import a public symbol

from tigrbl_spec import __version__

print(__version__)

Use with the facade when building applications

uv add tigrbl tigrbl_spec
python - <<'PY'
import tigrbl
print(tigrbl.__name__)
PY

How To Choose This Package

Choose tigrbl_spec when the quick-answer table matches your use case. Choose tigrbl instead when you want the full public facade. Choose a lower-level package such as tigrbl-core, tigrbl-base, or tigrbl-runtime when you are building framework extensions or testing a specific internal boundary.
