š Quick Start
Parse a Spectral File
import { Parser } from "@aexol/ouro/spectral";
const source = await Deno.readTextFile("system.spectral");
const ast = new Parser(source).parse();
Validate
import { Validator } from "@aexol/ouro/spectral";
const result = new Validator(ast).validate();
console.log("Valid:", result.isValid);
Generate Code
import { CodeGenerator } from "@aexol/ouro/spectral";
const code = new CodeGenerator(ast, { language: "typescript" }).generate();
CLI Usage
# Parse
deno run -A src/commands/spectral.ts parse --input system.spectral
# Validate
deno run -A src/commands/spectral.ts validate --input system.spectral
# Generate TypeScript
deno run -A src/commands/spectral.ts generate \
--input system.spectral \
--language typescript \
--output generated.ts

š Language Example
Input: system.spectral
type Task {
id: string
title: string
status: TaskStatus
}
enum TaskStatus {
todo
in_progress
done
}
role TaskManager {
permission tasks {
create,
read,
update,
delete
}
}
workflow TaskFlow {
state todo -> in_progress
state in_progress -> done
state done -> archived
}
agent TaskAgent: TaskManager {
can create task
can update task when started
can complete task if valid
}
visitor {
can manage tasks {
can create task
can view tasks
can update task
can delete task
}
}
Output: Generated TypeScript
// Auto-generated from Spectral language
export type Task = {
id: string;
taskStatus: string;
};
export enum TaskStatus {
todo = "todo",
in_progress = "in_progress",
done = "done",
}
export class TaskManagerRole {
static readonly permissions = {
tasks: ['create', 'read', 'update', 'delete'],
};
}
export class TaskAgentAgent {
role: string = 'TaskManager';
canCreateTask(): boolean {
// TODO: Implement create task
return true;
}
canUpdateTask(): boolean {
// TODO: Implement update task
return true;
}
canCompleteTask(): boolean {
// TODO: Implement complete task
return true;
}
}

šÆ Usage Patterns
Pattern 1: Full Pipeline
const source = await Deno.readTextFile("spec.spectral");
const ast = new Parser(source).parse();
const valid = new Validator(ast).validate();
if (valid.isValid) {
const code = new CodeGenerator(ast, { language: "typescript" }).generate();
}
Pattern 2: Quick Parse
const ast = new Parser(source).parse();
Pattern 3: Validation Only
const result = new Validator(new Parser(source).parse()).validate();
Pattern 4: Analysis
const report = analyzeSpectral(source);
console.log(report.summary);
Pattern 5: CLI
deno run -A src/commands/spectral.ts parse --input system.spectral
š Integration Points
The Spectral tools integrate with:
- Ouro CLI - Direct command support
- Multi-Agent Systems - Generate agent code
- Workflow Engines - Parse workflow definitions
- Type Systems - Generate type definitions
- Documentation - Auto-generate docs
- Code Generators - Create implementation code
š Next Steps for Users
- Create a
.spectralfile with your system definition - Parse it using
new Parser(source).parse() - Validate using
new Validator(ast).validate() - Generate code using
new CodeGenerator(ast).generate() - Integrate the generated code into your system
- Orchestrate multi-agent system based on definitions
