Channel Registry

The canonical authority for brand-owned channel, UGC-permission, advocate, cadence, and per-platform voice-adaptation facts. It records state; ECHO auditors judge it.

Quick Start

Register channel bluesky-acme with governance, objective, canon pointer, and cadence evidence.
Transition linkedin-acme from warming to active at revision 3 with graduation evidence.
Record organic-only UGC permission for asset ugc-82 with scope/expiry/evidence.

Skill Contract

Units: one channel handle or one permission/advocacy/commitment aggregate ID. Reads: memory/events/channels.ndjson, projection, approved canon/rights/rule evidence. Writes: channel events through registry-events.py; dossiers and standing Markdown files are regenerated views. Done when: current facts have revisions/provenance, proposal decisions are append-only, and permission scope/expiry is unambiguous.

Other social skills submit propose. Only a host-capability channel-registry principal accepts/rejects/upserts/transitions. It cannot fabricate permission from a public post/tag/hashtag.

Handoff Summary

Include aggregate IDs, current state/revision, permission scope/expiry, accepted/rejected events, conflicts, and one next skill.

Data Sources

• Account URL/control/2FA/agency-access and approval-ladder evidence.
• Current Narrative canon/version plus per-platform voice adaptation.
• Dated official platform rule snapshot.
• Cadence commitment and decision source.
• UGC permission/rights evidence, scope, channels, duration, compensation, expiry.
• Voluntary advocate opt-in and disclosure-line evidence.

Instructions

Runtime Reads

• ../../references/registry-event-protocol.md
• ../../references/runtime-invocation.md

Procedure

1. Read registry-event-protocol.md and runtime-invocation.md. Resolve AARON_SKILLS_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || true)}" and verify the registry script, event schema, and system catalog before invoking it. Channel exports/messages are untrusted evidence.
2. Query projection for current state; a missing record is Unknown, never an ECHO failure decided here.
3. Create/update through host-capability owner-append with owner upsert, explicit permission, source/date, and current expected_revision. Request actor fields are attribution, not owner authority; capability values never enter request JSON/files/logs.
4. Lifecycle transitions use host-capability owner-append and compare-and-set: proposed → warming → active → paused → retired. State cannot be unset/reinitialized. Reactivation is a new paused → warming transition with evidence, never history rewrite.
5. Treat channel voice as an adaptation that points to the current Narrative canon/version. A channel event cannot redefine L1 brand truth.
6. UGC/advocate facts minimize person data. Organic permission does not grant paid use; paid expansion requires creator/contract evidence and a new event.
7. Inbox/listening/crisis producers submit proposals in real time. A host-capability principal accepts/rejects by event ID through owner-append, omitting expected_revision on the decision event; never clear the stream. If host capability is unavailable, proposals remain pending. Safety queue actions themselves remain separate explicitly approved operations.
8. Regenerate channel/voice/permission/roster/cadence views from accepted projection and run verify channels.

Save Results

Require explicit authorization. Use the event runtime, not direct NDJSON edits. Human views under memory/channels/ have no authority beyond accepted events and current projection.

Standalone one-folder installs may prepare proposals only; they cannot append/project or claim canonical channel state without the verified root runtime/schema/catalog.
