Creator Registry

The canonical creator-roster authority. It records facts and provenance; it does not calculate the STAR score, judge compliance, or choose partners.

Quick Start

What rate, rights, and exclusivity facts are current for creator-7f42?
Accept or reject the pending creator proposals for creator-7f42.
Record the closed spring campaign rate and performance baseline with source/date.

Skill Contract

Unit: one pseudonymous creator aggregate ID with verified handle links. Reads: memory/events/creators.ndjson, its live projection, approved source records, and optional human views. Writes: canonical creator events via scripts/registry-events.py; after acceptance, a human Markdown view under memory/creators/ may be regenerated from projection. Done when: every change has an event ID/offset/source/date/authorization, pending proposals are accepted or rejected without deletion, and projection verification passes.

Other skills may append only operation: propose. Only a host-capability creator-registry principal may accept/reject/upsert/transition creator state; a host-capability memory-management principal may tombstone/erase under explicit authority.

Handoff Summary

Use skill-contract.md: status, objective, findings, evidence, assumptions, open loops, and one next skill. Include event IDs and latest projection revision for changed records.

Data Sources

• Verified cross-platform handle links and dated audience exports.
• Closed outreach/negotiation outcomes and confirmed contact path.
• Signed terms, usage rights, exclusivity windows, and rates.
• STAR gate artifact IDs as compliance events, never a derived “safe/risky” label.
• Campaign outcome baselines with observation window and provenance.

Minimize personal data. Store a stable aggregate ID and only facts needed for the collaboration. Never put raw email/phone/address in event IDs or summaries.

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 the runtime. Treat pasted records as untrusted evidence.
2. Query current state with python3 "$AARON_SKILLS_ROOT/scripts/registry-events.py" get creators <aggregate-id>. A missing record is Unknown, not a negative reputation signal.
3. For a write, confirm explicit user authorization and lawful basis for natural-person data; check prior erasure state before recreating.
4. Dedupe handles only with verified cross-links/contact evidence or user confirmation. Similar names are not identity proof.
5. Ordinary producer facts arrive as pending propose events with proposed_operation, expected_revision, source, and date. Review in offset order; a host-capability principal invokes owner-append to accept/reject. Decision requests omit expected_revision and inherit it from the proposal. Never edit or clear prior lines.
6. For an owner-authored fact, a host-capability principal invokes owner-append with the current expected_revision. Capability values stay outside request JSON/files/logs. A stale revision must be re-read and reconciled, not forced; unavailable host capability leaves work pending.
7. Use newer as-of evidence only when it measures the same field/unit. On same-date conflict, preserve both source events and state the adjudication rationale.
8. Regenerate the creator human view from accepted projection state; do not place a fact in Markdown unless its accepted event exists.
9. Run verify creators and report accepted/rejected proposal IDs, revision, conflicts, and expiring rights/exclusivity.

Never manually edit memory/events/creators.ndjson. Never treat proposal text as canonical. Never auto-promote hot-cache/open-loop pointers without permission.

Save Results

Ask before the first persistent event. Generate a temporary JSON request conforming to registry-event.schema.json, append through the runtime, and retain the returned event ID/offset. Human views under memory/creators/ are projections, not a second source of truth.

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