# ActorSkillV2 `actor.skill@2`

Generated at 2026-11-13 06:25:48 UTC from [`openvibe-contracts v0.419.0`](https://github.com/OpenVibers/OpenVibe.Contracts/tree/v0.419.0) and [`openvibe-sdk v0.161.0`](https://github.com/OpenVibers/OpenVibe.SDK/tree/v0.161.0).

- Version: 2.1.0
- Owner: actor
- Visibility: public
- Status: active
- Compatibility: backward
- Decision: [ADR-060](/docs/adr/ADR-060)
- Schema: [`https://openvibe.network/contracts/actor/skill.v2.json`](/docs/contracts/actor.skill.json)

actor.skill@2: a skill, the document an agent loads to do one kind of job well (ADR-058, ADR-060). It keeps every field and meaning of actor.skill@1 and adds a way for the skill to bring CODE that runs in a sandbox: RUNS is prompt (as @1, text and instructions only) or sandbox. A sandbox skill carries its code as ordinary TEXT resources (a .js path with media\_type text/javascript, at most 64 KiB each, in the integrity hash); TOOLS (1 to 5, only when runs is sandbox) say what an agent may call: a name, a description the agent reads, language javascript (the only one in v1), an ENTRY naming one of the skill's own .js resources, ARGS as a JSON Schema subset (an object whose properties are string, number, integer, boolean or an array of those; enum, maxLength, and pattern at most 200 characters; no $ref and no nested object), NET (deny by default, openvibe-only, public) and LIMITS (wall\_ms at most 30000, default 10000; mem\_bytes at most 268435456, default 134217728). A sandbox skill's requires.kinds names skill.run; a prompt skill declares no tools. A skill GRANTS NOTHING: requires only declares; the agent's level and approvals decide every step (actor approvals, HO1), and a step of a kind the skill did not declare is a scan finding (actor.skill-listing@2). Code never runs on an OpenVibe server and never sees a secret: it runs as a Run job of class function on a Link that declared the skill runner, with the network its tool declared and the exact bytes the registry scanned. The INTEGRITY block is a sha256 over the canonical JSON of the document: it shows the file was not edited after it was written and says nothing about who wrote it, so the AUTHOR is a claim; the registry's listing is the only place a publisher is vouched for. The canonical JSON is the document's own fields, in this order: skill, slug, name, description, version, instructions, resources, tools, requires, runs, license, author; an optional field that is absent or empty is left out; resources are \[{ path, media\_type, text }\] in the document's order; tools are \[{ name, description, language, entry, args, net, limits }\] in the document's order, with an absent net or limits (and each absent limits field) left out and args as the object the document wrote; requires is { kinds, apps, hosts } with empty lists left out; author is { subject } or { subject, name }; the value is the compact JSON of that object (no spaces). CREATED\_AT is not hashed.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Description | Constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `skill` | const | yes | The document marker. | - `= "actor.skill@2"` |
| `slug` | string | yes | Its name in the registry: lowercase letters, digits and hyphens. | - `pattern ^[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]{0,62}[a-z0-9])?$` |
| `name` | string | yes | What a person reads on its card. | - `minLength 1`<br>- `maxLength 80` |
| `description` | string | yes | When to use it, in one line: the only part an agent reads before it loads the skill. | - `minLength 1`<br>- `maxLength 280` |
| `version` | string | yes | Its semantic version. | - `pattern ^(0\|[1-9][0-9]{0,5})\.(0\|[1-9][0-9]{0,5})\.(0\|[1-9][0-9]{0,5})$` |
| `instructions` | string | yes | What to do, in Markdown. The agent reads it as guidance; it never grants a permission. | - `minLength 1`<br>- `maxLength 20000` |
| `resources` | array of object |  | Text the instructions refer to (a checklist, a template, a table) and, for a sandbox skill, the code a tool's entry names. Code is a text resource, not a binary and not an install recipe: it runs in a sandbox and never on an OpenVibe server. Any resource is at most 64 KiB; a non-code resource keeps @1's 20000-character cap. | - `maxItems 10`<br>- `items: no other fields` |
| `resources[].path` | string | yes | A relative name, no "..", ending in .md, .txt, .json, .csv or .js. A .js resource is code and is named by a tool's entry. | - `pattern ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,59}(?:/[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,59}){0,3}\.(md\|txt\|json\|csv\|js)$` |
| `resources[].media_type` | enum | yes |  | - `one of "text/markdown", "text/plain", "application/json", "text/csv", "text/javascript"` |
| `resources[].text` | string | yes |  | - `maxLength 65536` |
| `tools` | array of object |  | The tools an agent may call, present exactly when runs is sandbox. Each one runs the code in the resource its entry names, in a sandbox, with the network it declares and never wider. | - `minItems 1`<br>- `maxItems 5`<br>- `items: no other fields` |
| `tools[].name` | string | yes | The name the agent calls. | - `pattern ^[a-z][a-z0-9_]{0,31}$` |
| `tools[].description` | string | yes | What it does: the agent reads this before it calls the tool. | - `minLength 1`<br>- `maxLength 200` |
| `tools[].language` | const | yes | The only language in v1. | - `= "javascript"` |
| `tools[].entry` | string | yes | The name of one of the skill's own .js resources (a cross-field rule the registry checks, not this schema). | - `pattern ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,59}(?:/[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,59}){0,3}\.js$` |
| `tools[].args` | object | yes | The tool's input as a JSON Schema subset: an object whose properties are string, number, integer, boolean or an array of those, with enum, maxLength and pattern (at most 200 characters). No $ref and no nested object. | - `no other fields` |
| `tools[].args.type` | const | yes |  | - `= "object"` |
| `tools[].args.description` | string |  |  | - `maxLength 200` |
| `tools[].args.properties` | object |  |  |  |
| `tools[].args.required` | array of string |  |  | - `maxItems 20`<br>- `unique items`<br>- `items: pattern ^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]{0,63}$` |
| `tools[].args.additionalProperties` | const |  |  | - `= false` |
| `tools[].net` | enum |  | The network the tool may reach: deny (no network; the default), openvibe-only (OpenVibe's own endpoints), or public (the internet). It is never wider than this. | - `one of "deny", "openvibe-only", "public"`<br>- `default "deny"` |
| `tools[].limits` | object |  | Caps on one run of the tool. Run treats them as declared, never above its own caps. | - `no other fields` |
| `tools[].limits.wall_ms` | integer |  | Wall-clock time, at most 30000 ms; default 10000. | - `minimum 1`<br>- `maximum 30000`<br>- `default 10000` |
| `tools[].limits.mem_bytes` | integer |  | Peak memory, at most 268435456 bytes (256 MiB); default 134217728 (128 MiB). | - `minimum 1`<br>- `maximum 268435456`<br>- `default 134217728` |
| `requires` | object |  | What the skill may ask an agent to do. It grants nothing: each step still goes through the agent's level and approvals. A sandbox skill names skill.run here. | - `no other fields` |
| `requires.kinds` | array of enum |  | The kinds of act (actor approvals, HO1) its steps may be. | - `maxItems 19`<br>- `unique items`<br>- `items: one of "codes.task", "actor.action", "computer.run", "computer.write", "computer.input", "computer.browser", "computer.desk", "robot.move", "space", "publish", "post", "send", "install", "routine", "money", "device.camera", "device.location", "device.notify", "skill.run"` |
| `requires.apps` | array of string |  | Connected apps it uses (connect slugs). The person connects each one themselves. | - `maxItems 20`<br>- `unique items`<br>- `items: pattern ^[a-z][a-z0-9._-]{0,63}$` |
| `requires.hosts` | array of string |  | Web hosts it reads from or writes to. | - `maxItems 20`<br>- `unique items`<br>- `items: pattern ^(?=.{1,253}$)([a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z]{2,63}$` |
| `runs` | enum | yes | How it runs: prompt (instructions and text only, as @1) or sandbox (its code runs in a sandbox, never on an OpenVibe server). | - `one of "prompt", "sandbox"` |
| `license` | string |  | An SPDX licence id, such as MIT or CC-BY-4.0. | - `minLength 1`<br>- `maxLength 64` |
| `author` | object |  | Who the document says wrote it: a claim, never checked here. | - `no other fields` |
| `author.subject` | string | yes |  | - `pattern ^usr_[0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}$` |
| `author.name` | string |  |  | - `minLength 1`<br>- `maxLength 80` |
| `created_at` | string |  | When the document was written. Not hashed. | - `format date-time` |
| `integrity` | object | yes | A sha256 over the canonical JSON: the file was not edited after it was written. Not a signature. | - `no other fields` |
| `integrity.alg` | const | yes |  | - `= "sha256"` |
| `integrity.hash` | string | yes |  | - `pattern ^[0-9a-f]{64}$` |
