AT A GLANCE

Typed chat domain model (`Incoming`, `Message`, `SentMessage`, `Response`)
Canonical adapter behavior (`Jido.Chat.Adapter`) for channel integrations
Pure struct/function bot loop for deterministic message handling
Thread and channel reference handles for portable adapter implementations

DEEP DIVE

Overview

Jido Chat is an SDK-first chat core that defines typed message structures and canonical adapter contracts for chat integrations. It provides a stable architectural center for channel packages while remaining runtime-agnostic.

Purpose

Jido Chat is the core chat protocol and type system package for the emerging messaging adapter family in the Jido ecosystem.

Boundary Lines

  • Owns chat data models, normalization contracts, and adapter behavior interfaces.
  • Provides the common contract layer that channel-specific packages build on.
  • Does not own channel transport implementations, runtime orchestration policy, or provider-specific delivery behavior.

Major Components

Core Chat Surface

Jido.Chat provides the pure struct/function loop for handling incoming events and generating outbound responses.

Typed Payloads

Defines normalized envelope and payload structs used by adapters to translate platform-specific message events.

Adapter Contract

Jido.Chat.Adapter standardizes channel integration behavior so downstream packages can integrate consistently.

Compatibility Layer

Includes migration support for legacy channel modules while the canonical adapter path matures.
