๐งฌ DSL Knowledge Index¶
Purpose and Scope¶
๐ฏ What Is a DSL in ConnectSoft?¶
In the context of the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) is a structured, declarative representation that defines:
- The expected format, constraints, and relationships of generated artifacts
- The intent behind blueprints, spans, test cases, telemetry, UI components, etc.
-
A language-level contract used by agents to:
-
Generate reusable code
- Validate output
- Drive prompt injection
- Enforce consistency across domains and tenants
๐ Examples of DSLs¶
| DSL Name | Domain | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
dsl-actor-handler |
Backend | Defines a message-based actor that processes a command and emits a response |
dsl-feature-flow |
Orchestration | Describes the flow of steps for a specific business scenario |
dsl-telemetry-span |
Observability | Defines telemetry span structure for tracing a user or system action |
dsl-ai-skill-call |
AI Kernel | Declares inputs and outputs of a skill or planner action |
dsl-ui-form-section |
Frontend | Declaratively specifies UI input fields, validation, and layout |
dsl-specflow-scenario |
Testing | Represents a BDD scenario outline for use in SpecFlow or Gherkin |
๐ฏ Purpose of the DSL Knowledge Index¶
The DSL Knowledge Index is a first-class knowledge document that:
- ๐ฆ Stores all DSL definitions, metadata, tags, and versions
- ๐ Enables semantic search and similarity-based retrieval
- ๐ Powers prompt enrichment by injecting DSL examples and schemas
- ๐ง Drives agent decision-making based on DSL availability and compatibility
- ๐ Supports regeneration, validation, and evolution of code artifacts
- ๐ค Enables multi-agent coordination through shared DSLs
๐ Scope of This Document¶
This documentation defines:
- The structure of the DSL registry (index, graph nodes, vector memory)
- How DSLs are linked to generated assets
- How DSLs influence prompt construction and validation
- Which agents use DSLs and how
- How DSLs evolve across versions, forks, and tenants
- How DSL coverage, reuse, and quality are measured
It is not a DSL specification guide (thatโs per DSL). Instead, this document defines the knowledge and infrastructure around DSLs.
๐ Tags and Indexes Used¶
Each DSL entry will contain tags like:
domain:backend,layer:frontend,purpose:test,tenant:sharedconfidence: 0.93,sourceAgent: DSLDesignerAgent,usedIn: prompt-blueprint-login
This supports advanced queries like:
Or vector lookups like:
โ Summary¶
The DSL Knowledge Index:
- Serves as a centralized, evolving, multi-agent registry of semantic DSL definitions
- Powers prompt injection, artifact validation, and reuse strategies
- Bridges template generation, code output, trace validation, and feedback loops
๐งฑ DSL Types and Domains¶
๐งฌ Why Categorize DSLs?¶
The ConnectSoft AI Software Factory must support thousands of DSL definitions across varying:
- Engineering layers (frontend, backend, observability, test, data)
- Functional domains (identity, messaging, payments, reporting)
- Artifact targets (models, events, UI, tests, spans, skills)
- Agent workflows (blueprint generation, prompt planning, validation)
To support discoverability, prompt injection, and smart reuse, each DSL is categorized by type and domain.
๐ DSL Type Taxonomy¶
| Type | Description | Typical Output |
|---|---|---|
| Blueprint DSL | Logical feature model or service spec | Classes, handlers, commands |
| Model DSL | Entities, aggregates, DTOs, records | NHibernate or EF models |
| UI DSL | Screens, form sections, UX flows | Blazor/Angular components |
| API DSL | Request/response pairs, endpoint definitions | REST or gRPC controllers |
| Event DSL | Domain events, integration events | Message classes |
| Span DSL | Observability/tracing structure | OpenTelemetry span spec |
| Test DSL | Scenarios, conditions, assertions | SpecFlow, BDD, MSTest |
| AI Skill DSL | Semantic Kernel skill definitions | Planner-friendly skill structure |
| Prompt DSL | Parameterized prompt + schema | Reusable prompt patterns |
| Validation DSL | Input validation and business rules | FluentValidation or JSON Schema |
| Infrastructure DSL | Health checks, queues, configs | Bicep/YAML/Infra-as-Code templates |
๐ DSL Domain Examples¶
Each DSL also belongs to a functional domain, allowing:
- Tenant/domain-scoped reuse
- Agent filtering during generation
- Semantic trace linking
| Domain | Example DSLs |
|---|---|
authentication |
dsl-login-handler, dsl-auth-span, dsl-session-model |
user-management |
dsl-user-profile, dsl-invite-user, dsl-deactivate-flow |
messaging |
dsl-sms-event, dsl-email-template, dsl-retry-policy |
notifications |
dsl-notify-user, dsl-alert-type, dsl-push-channel |
reporting |
dsl-report-query, dsl-export-csv, dsl-scheduled-task |
ai-agents |
dsl-skill-call, dsl-agent-flow, dsl-memory-embedding |
DSLs can be reused across domains with explicit tags (
shared,tenant-specific,agent-internal).
๐ Recommended Tagging Convention¶
id: dsl-user-registration-flow
type: blueprint
domain: authentication
tags:
- layer:backend
- tenant:shared
- usedIn: prompt-blueprint-user-registration
- confidence: 0.91
๐ Key Takeaways¶
- DSLs are not flat โ they are typed, scoped, and linked
- This categorization powers:
- ๐ Better search and indexing
- ๐ค Agent compatibility and filtering
- ๐ Prompt reuse and alignment
- ๐ง Semantic similarity retrieval
- DSLs span the full stack โ from telemetry to UI, events to validation
๐งพ DSL Structure & Metadata Model¶
๐งฑ What Is a DSL Structurally?¶
Each DSL entry in the ConnectSoft Knowledge Graph is stored as a versioned semantic unit in YAML or JSON format. It includes:
- A schema definition for generated artifacts
- Metadata for indexing, discovery, and memory
- Optionally, examples, injections, and validation rules
DSLs are not just definitions โ they are knowledge-first building blocks.
๐ฆ DSL Knowledge Unit Schema¶

status:deprecated |
Obsolete and should not be used in new generation |
createdBy:AgentX |
Attribution to source agent |
linkedTo:template-user-registration |
Usage traceability |
๐ก Embedding DSLs¶
Each DSL is also embedded into a vector store (e.g., Azure Cognitive Search or Qdrant) using the DSL body and description.
This enables:
- Prompt injection via similarity search
- Agent lookup: โFind DSLs like thisโ
- Drift detection based on structure changes
๐งฌ DSL Example: UI Form Section¶
id: dsl-ui-form-section
type: ui
domain: user-profile
layer: frontend
fields:
label: string
fieldName: string
inputType: enum[text, email, phone, date]
required: bool
placeholder: string
hint: string
Used in Blazor form generators and prompt UI design flows.
โ Summary¶
Each DSL knowledge unit is:
- ๐ฆ Structured as a YAML/JSON schema with metadata
- ๐ Linked to tags, vectors, and generation usage
- ๐ง Fully embeddable for memory and prompt injection
- ๐งช Validatable with optional static rules
๐ Lifecycle of a DSL¶
๐ Why Define a DSL Lifecycle?¶
DSLs in the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory are not static files โ they are living semantic contracts. A clear lifecycle ensures:
- Controlled introduction of new DSLs
- Safe evolution and deprecation
- Versioning across agents, tenants, and generations
- Visibility into which versions are active, stable, or outdated
A broken DSL breaks everything that uses it: prompts, templates, outputs, validation, and feedback.
๐งฌ DSL Lifecycle States¶
| State | Description | Who Can Transition |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | New DSL under design, not used in generation | DSLDesignerAgent, human |
| Active | DSL approved and ready for generation | ValidatorAgent, DSLCurator |
| Stable | Used in validated traces and production; locked for changes | CoordinatorAgent, Governance layer |
| Deprecated | Marked for removal; replaced by successor DSL | DSLJanitorAgent, DSLCurator |
| Archived | Read-only, no longer usable or referenced | ArchiverAgent, Admins only |
๐ Lifecycle Transition Rules¶
flowchart TD
D[Draft] --> A[Active]
A --> S[Stable]
A --> Dep[Deprecated]
S --> Dep
Dep --> Arc[Archived]
D --> Dep
Transitions require agent approval or confidence thresholds.
๐ฆ DSL Evolution Patterns¶
| Pattern | Use Case | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Minor version update | Add optional field | v1.2.0 โ v1.3.0 |
| Major version update | Breaking change to structure | v1 โ v2 fork |
| Fork for tenant | Customization by tenant | dsl-login-handler โ dsl-login-handler-petclinic |
| Composition | Merge multiple DSLs | dsl-feature โ dsl-feature + dsl-metrics |
| Extension | Add fields via inheritance | DSL uses extends tag or schema |
๐ Metadata for Lifecycle Tracking¶
status: stable
version: v1.2.0
replaces: dsl-user-handler-v1.1.0
replacedBy: null
createdOn: 2025-04-30
lastUsedInTrace: trace-id-872
validatedBy: TestAgent, BlueprintAgent
Each lifecycle action is auditable via the graph changelog and DSL index logs.
๐ค Agent Roles in DSL Lifecycle¶
| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
DSLDesignerAgent |
Proposes and defines new DSL |
ValidatorAgent |
Runs conformance checks before activation |
FeedbackAgent |
Collects votes and trace impact to evaluate readiness |
CoordinatorAgent |
Marks DSL as stable when used successfully |
DSLJanitorAgent |
Identifies unused or obsolete DSLs for deprecation |
GovernanceOrchestrator |
Enforces policies on DSL ownership and lifecycle state |
โ Summary¶
DSL lifecycle is structured and controlled:
- Prevents regressions and unsafe generation
- Encourages stability before widespread reuse
- Enables scoped customization by tenant/project
- Links generation, usage, and memory with traceability
๐งพ Versioning and Forking Rules¶
๐ฏ Why Version and Fork DSLs?¶
In a large-scale AI Software Factory, DSLs evolve due to:
- New requirements
- Breaking schema changes
- Tenant-specific customizations
- Feature specialization
- Technology stack variations
To preserve trace integrity, reproducibility, and compatibility, we enforce clear rules for versioning and forking.
๐ข Semantic Versioning for DSLs¶
DSLs follow a SemVer-like scheme:
| Version Part | Meaning | Rules |
|---|---|---|
MAJOR |
Incompatible schema change | Requires deprecation or fork of prior version |
MINOR |
Backward-compatible enhancement | Existing traces remain valid |
PATCH |
Metadata or tag fix | No structural change; reindex only |
DSLs with the same major version are assumed structurally compatible.
๐ Example¶
v1.2.0: adds retry policy (optional field)v2.0.0: changes field name fromcommandNametoactionNameโ breaking
๐ฑ Forking DSLs¶
A fork is a derived DSL with intentional schema divergence for a:
- Tenant (
petclinic,ecomx,financeplus) - Project (
connectsoft-gateway) - Architecture variation (e.g., actor-based vs HTTP-based)
Forks are linked via the forkedFrom and forks graph edge:
id: dsl-login-handler-petclinic
forkedFrom: dsl-login-handler
tenant: petclinic
changes:
- renamed field `userId` โ `vetId`
- added field `clinicContextId`
Forks are treated as distinct nodes in the knowledge graph.
๐ง Versioning Rules Summary¶
| Action | Allowed? | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Change required field โ optional | โ MINOR version bump | |
| Add new optional field | โ MINOR | |
| Rename existing field | โ Must create a new MAJOR version or fork | |
| Remove field | โ Fork or MAJOR required | |
| Metadata/tag update only | โ PATCH | |
| Schema override by tenant | โ Fork required |
๐ Graph Edges for Version and Fork Lineage¶
| Edge | Purpose |
|---|---|
replaces โ |
Shows upgrade path between versions |
forkedFrom โ |
Links derived DSL to original |
extends โ |
Reuse + override base DSL structure |
linkedTo โ |
Shows usage in prompts/templates/tests |
All versioning and forking history is queryable and visualizable.
๐ Version Coverage and Usage Metrics¶
Track:
- Most used version per DSL
- Fork divergence metrics
- Obsolete DSLs used in old traces
- Number of tenants sharing same DSL major version
- Confidence trends per version
๐ ๏ธ Automation Support¶
- Agents automatically detect incompatible changes and suggest forks
- Coordinators trigger regeneration if DSL version becomes invalid
- Prompts adapt DSL version via vector matching or upgrade rules
โ Summary¶
Versioning and forking are core to safe DSL evolution:
- MAJOR = break, MINOR = add, PATCH = fix
- Forks isolate tenant-specific logic
- Traceability ensures reproducibility and recovery
- Agents collaborate via lineage metadata
๐ DSL in the Knowledge Graph¶
๐ง Why Model DSLs in the Graph?¶
DSLs arenโt just isolated definitions โ theyโre semantic knowledge entities that participate in:
- Prompt planning
- Multi-agent collaboration
- Memory embedding
- Trace completeness scoring
- Template and test generation
Representing them in the Knowledge Graph allows:
- ๐ Linkage to outputs, prompts, tests, and telemetry
- ๐ง Similarity-based lookup using vector embeddings
- ๐งฌ Structural introspection (fields, versions, examples)
- ๐ Automated lifecycle tracking
๐ Graph Node Structure for DSL¶
Each DSL becomes a typed node in the Knowledge Graph:
type: DSL
id: dsl-user-handler-v1.2.0
title: User Handler DSL (v1.2.0)
layer: backend
domain: user-management
embeddingId: vec-dsl-user-handler-v1.2
confidence: 0.91
linkedArtifacts:
- template-user-handler
- span-user.handler.invoked
- test-user-handler.feature
createdBy: DSLDesignerAgent
forkedFrom: dsl-user-handler-v1.0.0
tags: [blueprint, handler, shared]
๐ Example DSL Graph Edges¶
graph LR
DSL1[dsl-user-handler-v1.2.0]
T1[template-user-handler]
P1[prompt-blueprint-user-handler]
S1[span-user.handler.invoked]
TEST1[test-user-handler.feature]
DSL1 -->|usedBy| T1
DSL1 -->|usedIn| P1
DSL1 -->|spans| S1
DSL1 -->|validates| TEST1
๐งฌ Graph Relations¶
| Relation | Meaning |

- โWhich templates are still using v1.x of dsl-user-handler?โ
- โShow all DSLs related to user-invite span tracesโ
- โTrace โ what DSLs, templates, and tests it depends onโ
๐ Graph Enrichment Over Time¶
As DSLs are used:
- New nodes and edges are added (
usedIn,linkedTo,forkedFrom) - Confidence scores increase or decay
- Agents query DSLs based on vector proximity, not hard IDs
- DSLs become routing surfaces for prompt orchestration and trace validation
๐ง Memory and Embeddings¶
Each DSL node also has:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
embeddingId |
Reference to vector index entry |
vectorTags |
Domain, layer, purpose, tenant |
embeddingSource |
DSL schema + examples + description |
Agents can do queries like:
And get a graph-matched DSL ready for prompt or code injection.
โ Summary¶
Modeling DSLs in the graph gives:
- First-class traceability and observability
- Smart agent planning based on actual usage
- Rich query, fork, and impact tracking
- Embedding-powered similarity for prompt adaptation
๐๏ธ Indexing Strategy¶
๐ฏ Why Index DSLs?¶
DSLs must be:
- ๐ Searchable by agents (semantic, metadata, usage context)
- โก๏ธ Fast to retrieve for prompt injection
- ๐ง Embeddable into memory systems (vector search, hybrid search)
- ๐ Filterable by tags, layers, versions, tenants, and confidence levels
The DSL index is a high-performance semantic registry โ not just a flat list.
๐๏ธ Types of Indexes¶
| Index Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Tag Index | Fast filtering by metadata (type, domain, layer) |
| Vector Index | Similarity-based DSL retrieval using semantic embedding |
| Text Index | Full-text search on DSL description, examples, field names |
| Tenant/Project Index | Partitioned retrieval scoped to tenant, workspace, or project |
| Usage Index | Links DSLs to artifacts like prompts, templates, spans |
| Confidence Index | Score-based prioritization and decay tracking |
| Lifecycle Index | Status-based filtering (draft, active, deprecated) |
| Change Index | Diff- and version-aware change history |
| Agent Compatibility Index | DSLs usable by given agent role/type |
| Injection Suitability Index | Determines DSLโs usability for prompt injection |
| Span-Linked Index | Shows DSLs defining telemetry shapes |
| Fork Lineage Index | Cross-version and cross-tenant lineage browsing |
๐ท๏ธ Example Tag-Based Index Fields¶
- id: dsl-notify-user-v1.1.0
tags:
type: event
domain: notifications
layer: backend
confidence: 0.94
status: active
tenant: shared
usedIn: prompt-user-invite
linkedTo: span.notify_user.sent
createdBy: DSLDesignerAgent
๐ฆ Vector Embedding Strategy¶
- Source:
description,fields,examples,domain,prompt usage - Stored in: Azure AI Search, Qdrant, or Pinecone
- Retrieval:
topK,threshold,semantic match + tag filter
Example:
"DSL to define async retryable command in messaging layer"
โ matches dsl-retryable-command-handler
๐ Search Examples¶
| Query | Result |
|---|---|
tag:frontend AND domain:user-profile |
All UI DSLs for user profile forms |
similarTo: span-user.login โ type:test |
DSLs defining test flows for login span |
usedIn: prompt-notify-user |
DSLs linked to notification prompt |
confidence < 0.6 AND status:active |
Weak DSLs needing review |
forkedFrom: dsl-auth-handler |
All forks of the auth DSL |
extends: dsl-feature-base |
Inherited DSLs for features |
๐ค Agent Retrieval APIs¶
Agents will use DSLIndex.GetDSL(criteria) or DSLIndex.QueryByVector(text).
Retrieval Modes:¶
GetById("dsl-user-handler-v1.2.0")SearchByTags({ type: "test", domain: "auth" })FindSimilar("retryable backend command DSL")
๐ Confidence-Weighted Ranking¶
When retrieving DSLs:
- DSLs with high confidence are ranked higher
- Confidence affected by:
- Feedback votes
- Successful trace completions
- Prompt outcome quality
- Failed generations or missing spans
โ Summary¶
The DSL indexing system supports:
- ๐ Fast, tag-based filtering
- ๐ง Semantic similarity via embeddings
- ๐ค Agent-friendly APIs for prompt planning
- ๐ Dynamic ranking based on usage and feedback
- ๐งฌ Multi-dimensional cross-indexing (domain, layer, lifecycle, tenant)
๐ Linking DSLs to Templates and Prompts¶
๐ค Why Link DSLs to Prompts and Templates?¶
DSLs are not passive metadata โ they are active drivers of:
- ๐ง Code template configuration
- ๐ค Prompt-based artifact generation
- โ Output validation and trace alignment
- ๐ Cross-agent planning (between DSL designers, blueprint builders, test agents)
A prompt without DSL is generic. A prompt enriched by a DSL is domain-aware, testable, and reusable.
๐ Link Types in Knowledge Graph¶
| From | Relation | To | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
DSL |
usedIn |
Prompt |
Injects structure into generation |
DSL |
linkedTo |
Template |
Guides template selection and validation |
DSL |
defines |
Span/Test/Model |
Drives expected structure |
Prompt |

DSL |
Prompt dependency declared explicitly |
Agent |

DSL |
Agent relies on the DSL at runtime |
๐ฅ Prompt DSL Injection Example¶
Prompt Template:
promptId: blueprint-user-handler
requiresDSL: dsl-user-handler
template:
"Generate a command handler using the following structure:
{{dsl-user-handler | inject: fields, examples}}"
Result:
- Prompt is dynamically updated with DSL content
- Agent receives schema + examples for generation
- Prompt adapts per tenant/fork/version
๐งฉ Template-Derived Generation Example¶
Template: template-user-handler.cs
Linked DSL: dsl-user-handler
Usage:
- DSL fields โ code snippets
- DSL retry policy โ Polly retry block
- DSL emitsEvent โ auto-generate domain event class
- DSL used to validate generated class shape during test
๐ง Prompt Construction from DSL¶
Some prompts are generated on the fly from DSL using prompt blueprints:
dsl: dsl-telemetry-span
promptBlueprint:
"You are designing a telemetry span for {{dsl.domain}}. The operation name should be: {{dsl.spanName}}.
Include the following tags: {{dsl.tags}}.
Ensure the span duration logic follows: {{dsl.durationLogic}}."
This allows agents like PromptPlannerAgent to generate DSL-aware prompt candidates automatically.
๐ Query Examples¶
| Use Case | Query |
|---|---|
| Prompts using deprecated DSLs | prompt.usedIn โ DSL[status=deprecated] |
| Templates using outdated DSL versions | template.linkedTo โ DSL[version < v2.0.0] |
| All prompts powered by UI DSLs | prompt.requiresDSL โ DSL[type=ui] |
| DSLs used in prompt injection but never in template validation | Cross-link inconsistency |
โ Summary¶
DSLs power prompt and template generation:
- ๐ฌ Prompts are semantically enriched with DSL content
- ๐งฑ Templates are scaffolded using DSL-defined structure
- ๐ Graph tracks all
usedIn,linkedTo,defines, andrequiredByrelations - ๐ง Agent prompts adapt based on DSL context (tenant, version, fork)
- ๐ DSL usage across prompts and templates drives traceability and refactor planning
๐ Search and Retrieval Patterns¶
๐ Why Searchable DSLs Matter¶
Agents must dynamically discover DSLs in order to:
- Plan prompts with the most suitable DSLs
- Reuse previously successful blueprints and examples
- Avoid broken or deprecated versions
- Match tenant-specific needs (e.g., forks, extensions)
- Automatically validate trace completeness against DSL definitions
The system provides multi-modal search capabilities:
- Textual
- Tag-based
- Vector semantic similarity
- Graph-traversal queries
๐ ๏ธ Search Modes Supported¶
| Search Mode | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Text search | Search DSL titles, descriptions, and examples | "login handler" |
| Tag search | Filter by metadata tags | type: blueprint AND domain: auth |
| Vector similarity | Retrieve DSLs close to a textual concept | "retryable async span for email" |
| Graph queries | DSLs connected to certain prompts, spans, or tests | usedIn โ prompt-login-user |
| Field match | DSLs with specific field structures or types | fields[*].inputType = phone |
๐ง Agent-Level Retrieval API¶
Agents access DSLs using the DSLSearchService with layered query strategies:
var dsl = dslSearchService.FindBestMatch(new DSLSearchQuery {
SemanticHint = "form to collect user's birthdate",
RequiredTags = ["type: ui", "domain: user-profile"],
MinConfidence = 0.85,
MustBeActive = true
});
This returns DSL definitions injected into the prompt planner or generation step.
๐ฆ Result Scoring and Ranking¶
- Confidence-based prioritization
- Reuse-based weighting (seen in successful traces)
- Agent compatibility (linked to same agent family)
- Tenant specificity (e.g., prefer fork for
petclinic) - Semantic closeness (via embedding cosine similarity)
๐ Example: Semantic Retrieval Workflow¶
PromptPlannerAgent โ wants to generate a UI form
DSLSearchQuery:
- "Form section for user contact info"
- Type: ui
- Domain: user-profile
โ Result: dsl-ui-form-section-v1.3.1
โ Inject into prompt โ Generate form scaffold
If tenant is ecomx, the agent may retrieve:
๐ Advanced DSL Queries (Human or Agent)¶
| Query | Interpretation |
|---|---|
DSLs used in user-login prompt |
Reverse-lookup via graph edge usedIn โ prompt-login-user |
Forks of dsl-user-handler still active |
forkedFrom: dsl-user-handler AND status:active |
All telemetry span DSLs with retry logic |
type: span AND fields[*].name = retryPolicy |
Most reused DSLs in the onboarding domain |
Usage index + domain filter |
๐ง Smart DSL Suggestions¶
- Prompt planners can query for:
- โTop 3 DSLs similar to current promptโ
- โDSLs most used with current agentโs output typeโ
- โDSLs seen in successful test traces with same tagsโ
โ Summary¶
DSL search and retrieval is multi-layered and agent-aware:
- ๐ Enables both precise lookup and fuzzy discovery
- ๐ง Vector search unlocks semantic-based planning
- ๐งฑ DSLs can be filtered, ranked, embedded, and injected at runtime
- ๐ Graph links power reverse-trace and lineage queries
- ๐ค Planners, validators, and prompt builders rely on it daily
โ๏ธ DSL Conflict Resolution & Override¶
๐ฏ Why Do DSL Conflicts Happen?¶
In a multi-tenant, agentic AI system like ConnectSoft, DSL collisions can occur due to:
- Different teams/agents defining similar DSLs independently
- Forks evolving in incompatible directions
- Deprecated DSLs still referenced in old prompts
- Multiple DSLs with similar vector embeddings
- Prompt injection using conflicting or ambiguous DSL structures
Without conflict resolution, the factory may generate invalid, mismatched, or duplicate artifacts.
โ ๏ธ Types of DSL Conflicts¶
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Structural Conflict | Same DSL ID, different field structure | dsl-user-handler changed field userId โ userIdentifier |
| Semantic Overlap | Different DSLs with nearly identical meaning | dsl-auth-session vs dsl-session-auth |
| Version Inconsistency | Prompt uses DSL v1 but template expects v2 | template-user-handler requires emitsEvent, missing in v1 |
| Fork Drift | Tenant fork diverges from base and breaks compatibility | dsl-user-form-ecomx no longer aligns with parent |
| Injection Override | Multiple DSLs match a prompt, both injected | Causes ambiguous prompt inputs |
๐ Conflict Detection Strategies¶
โ Structural Diffing¶
- Automatically compare field sets, types, constraints
โ Embedding Similarity Collision¶
- Flag DSLs with
cosine similarity > 0.9and different IDs
โ Prompt Incompatibility Check¶
- Detect if injected DSL violates prompt expectations
โ Fork Validation¶
- Check if forks removed required fields from base
โ Feedback Score Divergence¶
- High reuse DSLs with dropping confidence โ investigate
๐ Resolution Mechanisms¶
| Scenario | Resolution Strategy |
|---|---|
| Same ID, different structure | โ Invalid โ block and require version bump |
| Conflicting semantic DSLs | Merge or rename with clearer scope |
| Fork drift | Freeze fork and regenerate from parent |
| Prompt-version mismatch | Auto-upgrade prompt or provide migration mapping |
| Duplicate injections | PromptPlannerAgent selects highest-confidence match or defers to user prompt |
๐ง Conflict Metadata Example¶
conflictId: cfl-dsl-user-handler-v1.1-vs-v1.2
type: structural
description: v1.2 changes field name, breaks dependent templates
detectedBy: DSLValidatorAgent
severity: high
resolution: "Mark v1.1 as deprecated, regenerate trace plan"
linkedArtifacts:
- prompt-user-handler
- template-user-handler
All conflicts are indexed and linked to their origin DSLs and affected artifacts.
๐ค Agent Collaboration on Conflict Resolution¶
| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
DSLValidatorAgent |
Detects structural/schema incompatibilities |
PromptPlannerAgent |
Flags prompt collisions and injection ambiguity |
TraceReplayerAgent |
Detects DSL-version mismatch from past trace |
GovernanceOrchestrator |
Approves major DSL changes and forks |
FeedbackAgent |
Surfaces usage errors that may stem from DSL issues |
๐งฑ Prompt Injection Protection¶
Prompts define DSL strictness settings:
If a conflicting DSL is suggested, prompt planning fails or requests resolution.
โ Summary¶
DSL conflict management is essential to maintain:
- โจ Generation consistency
- ๐งช Test and span validation accuracy
- ๐ Prompt injection safety
- ๐ DSL lineage clarity
- ๐ค Multi-agent reliability
The DSL Knowledge Graph tracks and resolves conflicts through versioning, tagging, and semantic analysis.
๐ฆ Common DSL Examples¶
๐ฏ Purpose of Examples¶
Concrete examples:
- Clarify the shape and structure of typical DSLs
- Help agents understand how to generate, validate, and inject DSLs
- Demonstrate cross-layer and cross-domain DSL usage
- Act as reference patterns in prompt construction and regeneration flows
๐ Example: Backend Command Handler DSL¶
id: dsl-user-handler
type: blueprint
domain: user-management
layer: backend
version: v1.2.0
fields:
commandName: string
responseType: string
emitsEvent: bool
retryPolicy: enum[None, Linear, Exponential]
description: Declares a command handler used to manage user actions.
examples:
- commandName: "InviteUserCommand"

- ๐ Graph usage: templates, prompts, spans, tests
- ๐ง Prompt enrichment and code generation integration
๐ DSL-Driven Generation Flow¶
๐ฏ Why Use DSLs to Drive Generation?¶
DSLs act as structured semantic anchors that guide:
- Prompt planning
- Template parameterization
- Test scenario generation
- Event and span shaping
- Validation across all outputs
They turn generation from "free text prompting" into a deterministic, observable, and reusable process.
๐งฉ Generation Flow Powered by DSLs¶
flowchart TD
A[PromptPlannerAgent] -->|Query DSL| B[DSL Index]
B --> C[DSL Injection]
C --> D[Prompt Generation]
D --> E[Template Injection]
E --> F[Test Planner]
F --> G[Span Generator]
G --> H[FeedbackAgent]
H -->|Trace score| A
Each step uses the DSL to align generation outputs across agents and artifacts.
๐ฅ 1. DSL Retrieval¶
- Agent searches
DSLIndexby semantic intent, tags, or tenant context - Retrieves full schema, examples, usage history, vector ID
- DSL is loaded into short-term memory for immediate planning
๐ฌ 2. Prompt Construction¶
- Inject DSL into structured prompt template
- Adapt fields and values using DSL structure
- Resolve forks or extensions if tenant-specific
- Ensure version and tag compliance
Example:
Prompt: "Create a command handler for {{dsl.commandName}}"
โ DSL field: commandName = InviteUserCommand
๐งฑ 3. Template Mapping¶
- Template contains markers linked to DSL fields
- Optional blocks (e.g., retry logic) toggled by DSL flags
- DSL โ Code DSL Translator generates base classes/interfaces
- Ensures reproducibility and compliance
๐งช 4. Test Case Generation¶
- If DSL has
examples, convert to test cases - Create BDD-style feature file or xUnit scenario
- Mark trace expectations based on DSL constraints
Example:
Given the command is InviteUserCommand
When the command is processed
Then a domain event InviteUserIssued should be emitted
๐ 5. Span & Telemetry Planning¶
- DSL defines span name, tags, success conditions
- Used to generate OpenTelemetry spans or
span-metrics.json - Aligns with Observability Agent workflows
๐ง 6. Memory Embedding & Indexing¶
- DSL instance used in generation is embedded into trace memory
- Feedback from success/failure tied back to DSL confidence score
- DSL is linked to output artifacts for traceability
๐ค 7. Output Validation¶
- Output artifacts (code, prompt, span, test) are validated against the originating DSL
- ValidatorAgent checks structural conformance
- TraceReplayerAgent ensures runtime alignment
๐ Trace Score Contributions¶
DSLs influence:
GenerationCompletenessScoreTraceValidationScorePromptInjectionSuccessRateTemplate-DSL Alignment Index
Each metric contributes to the DSL's evolving confidence level.
โ Summary¶
The DSL-driven generation flow ensures:
- ๐งฑ Structure-aware generation
- ๐ Repeatable and traceable outputs
- ๐ค Agent interoperability
- ๐งช Prompt + Template + Test + Trace coherence
- ๐ Feedback loops for quality improvement
๐งฌ DSL Extension and Composition¶
๐ฏ Why Compose and Extend DSLs?¶
As the platform grows, DSLs must support:
- ๐งฑ Reuse of base structures
- ๐ Mix-and-match of DSL fragments
- ๐งฉ Specialization per domain or layer
- ๐งฌ Inheritance without redundancy
- ๐ง Modular planning by AI agents
A composable DSL system reduces duplication and enables semantic layering โ like building blocks for generation.
๐งฉ Extension via extends¶
A DSL can inherit another DSL's fields and constraints:
id: dsl-user-invite-handler
extends: dsl-user-handler
fields:
inviteTokenExpiry: int
roleAssignment: string
In graph:
- Edge:
extends โ dsl-user-handler - Result: full merged field schema
- Agents are aware of both base and derived DSLs
โ Composition via includes¶
DSLs can embed multiple fragments modularly:
id: dsl-composite-onboarding
includes:
- dsl-ui-form-user
- dsl-span-user-registration
- dsl-test-onboarding
All included DSLs are logically merged, but not structurally inherited.
Useful for bundle planning or full-feature flows.
๐ง Example: DSL Composition Tree¶
graph TD
A[dsl-composite-onboarding]
A --> B[dsl-ui-form-user]
A --> C[dsl-span-user-registration]
A --> D[dsl-test-onboarding]
This composite DSL is used by:
- CoordinatorAgent to plan onboarding flow
- BlueprintAgent to match correct artifacts
- FeedbackAgent to trace coverage
๐ Use Case Examples¶
| Case | Approach |
|---|---|
| Common base handler + specialized features | extends: dsl-handler-base |
| Bundled user registration spec | includes: [dsl-ui, dsl-span, dsl-test] |
| UI form with nested reusable sections | DSL fragment composition (nested includes) |
| Tenant-specific override | Fork โ extend parent DSL with tenant fields |
๐ง Extension Semantics¶
| Rule | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Extended fields are merged | Available to prompt/template/planner |
| Conflicts are flagged | Override must be explicit |
| Composition does not imply inheritance | Included DSLs remain semantically linked |
| Composed DSLs can be versioned independently | Each fragment version is tracked separately |
๐ ๏ธ DSL Transformer Support¶
Agents like DSLTransformerAgent and PromptPlannerAgent support:
- ๐งฌ Extension resolution (flattened DSL view)
- ๐งฉ Composition parsing for modular workflows
- ๐งช Test matrix expansion across composed DSLs
- ๐ Graph enrichment for cross-DSL traceability
๐ Composition Example (Flattened)¶
flattenedFields:
- commandName
- responseType
- emitsEvent
- inviteTokenExpiry
- roleAssignment
- spanName
- tags.userId
- tags.channel
- testSteps[]
This flattened DSL is injected into prompts or templates for generation.
โ Summary¶
DSL extension and composition unlock:
- ๐งฑ Reuse across domains and layers
- ๐งฉ Bundled generation and planning
- ๐ Semantic graph enrichment
- ๐ค Intelligent modularity for agents
- ๐ฆ DSL-as-blueprint for complete flows
๐งญ DSL Traceability and Lineage¶
๐ฏ Why Trace DSL Usage?¶
In a factory that creates 3000+ microservices and components:
- Every artifact should be traceable to its semantic root (DSL)
- Lineage tracking ensures observability, reusability, and auditability
- Enables rollback, revalidation, and compliance checks
- Agents must reason about what generated what โ not just the final output
DSLs are the semantic DNA of the software factory. Their lineage builds semantic observability.
๐ DSL Traceability Graph¶
Each DSL participates in a knowledge lineage graph:
graph TD
DSL[dsl-user-handler-v1.2.0]
P[prompt-user-handler]
T[template-user-handler.cs]
S[span-user.handler.invoked]
TEST[test-user-handler.feature]
TRACE[trace-run-983]
DSL -->|usedIn| P
DSL -->|linkedTo| T
DSL -->|defines| S
DSL -->|validatedBy| TEST
P -->|produced| TRACE
T -->|usedIn| TRACE
TEST -->|executesIn| TRACE
This forms a full traceability chain from DSL โ generation โ runtime traces.
๐ Lineage Metadata in DSL Nodes¶
Each DSL node has lineage metadata:
lineage:
createdBy: DSLDesignerAgent
usedIn:
- prompt-user-handler
- template-user-handler
- span-user.handler.invoked
produces:
- trace-user-handler-onboarding
replacedBy: dsl-user-handler-v2.0.0
forkedBy:
- dsl-user-handler-petclinic
๐ง Agent Lineage Queries¶
| Agent | Query Example | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| PromptPlannerAgent | GetDSLTraceSources(dsl-user-handler) |
Inject original examples |
| DSLValidatorAgent | TraceImpactOfDeprecatedDSL(dsl-v1.1.0) |
Mark downstream invalid |
| GovernanceAgent | ListForksOfBaseDSL(dsl-user-handler) |
Approve/reject divergent branches |
| FeedbackAgent | TraceConfidenceDrop(dsl-auth-span) |
Analyze usage failures |
๐ DSL Trace Record Format¶
Each generation run linked to a DSL includes a record like:
traceId: trace-user-handler-202406
dslId: dsl-user-handler-v1.2.0
promptId: prompt-user-handler
templateId: template-user-handler.cs
testId: test-user-handler.feature
spanId: span-user.handler.invoked
confidenceImpact: +0.06
forkContext: null
Used to:
- Rebuild generation history
- Re-evaluate test coverage
- Visualize impact across DSL versions
๐ Fork and Replace Tracking¶
The lineage graph supports:
replaces โ: version migrationforkedFrom โ: tenant specializationextends โ: inheritance treesusedIn โ: artifact dependencyinvalidates โ: trace deprecation upon DSL removal
๐งฌ Temporal Lineage Support¶
The factory supports temporal queries:
- โWhat version of DSL was active in March 2024?โ
- โShow all generation traces from v1.1 to v1.2 transitionโ
- โDetect regressions introduced after fork divergenceโ
Time-aware lineage allows snapshot comparison and compliance audit.
๐ Confidence & Decay from Trace Lineage¶
Each DSLโs confidence score is dynamically updated via:
- Trace usage frequency
- Trace success/failure ratio
- Number of forks/version bumps
- Feedback signals on prompt effectiveness
This helps identify:
- ๐ข DSLs that are healthy and reusable
- ๐ด DSLs that cause regressions or conflicts
โ Summary¶
DSL traceability and lineage enables:
- ๐ End-to-end semantic observability
- ๐ Historical regeneration and debugging
- ๐ง Agent-level context awareness
- ๐ Impact analysis for upgrades or forks
- ๐ค Continuous confidence learning via trace feedback
๐ท๏ธ DSL Metadata and Enrichment Fields¶
๐ฏ Why Metadata Matters¶
DSLs are not just schemas โ theyโre semantic assets. Rich metadata allows:
- ๐ Advanced filtering and discovery
- ๐ Observability and lineage tracking
- ๐ค AI-driven prioritization and planning
- ๐ง Cross-agent reasoning (Who? What? Where? When? Why?)
Metadata fields help DSLs participate in search, scoring, injection, validation, and graph indexing.

Metadata fields power:
- ๐ Search and filtering
- ๐ง Semantic embedding
- ๐ Trace analysis and feedback learning
- ๐ค AI prompt planning and agent orchestration
- ๐ Governance and auditing
The richer the DSL metadata, the smarter the system becomes.
๐ DSL Confidence Score Model¶
๐ฏ Why Track DSL Confidence?¶
The factory needs to:
- ๐ง Prioritize reliable DSLs during generation
- โ ๏ธ Flag risky or decaying DSLs for review
- ๐ Learn from successful vs. failed traces
- ๐ฆ Decide injection eligibility based on trust level
Confidence is a dynamic, learned metric that governs DSL prioritization, validation, and deprecation readiness.
๐ Confidence Score Model¶
Each DSL has a confidence value in the range 0.0 โ 1.0.
It is calculated using a weighted signal model:
| Signal Type | Examples | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| โ Usage Successes | Successful traces, valid generations, test pass rate | +++ |
| โ Usage Failures | Broken traces, generation mismatches, user feedback | --- |
| ๐ง Feedback Events | Human/AIAgent upvotes/downvotes | ++ / -- |
| โณ Inactivity | Stale or unused over time | โ |
| โ ๏ธ Conflict Alerts | Structural diffs, overlapping matches | -- |
| ๐ Fork Divergence | Rapid forking from base | - |
| ๐๏ธ Prompt Rejections | Failed injection or mismatched schemas | - |
๐ง Signal Sources¶
Signals are collected from:
- ๐ข TraceRun Logs โ span/test/result match
- ๐ Generation History โ prompt โ template โ trace alignment
- ๐ค FeedbackAgent โ upvote/downvote traces tied to DSL
- ๐ค ValidatorAgent โ conformance analysis
- ๐ ConflictResolverAgent โ warnings and diffs
- ๐ฆ ForkTrackerAgent โ mutation tracking across tenants
๐งฎ Confidence Update Cycle¶
Confidence scores are periodically recalculated:
- ๐ Daily batch update from trace system
- ๐ Real-time adjustments for major success/failure events
- ๐ Decay model for stale DSLs
Decay example:
๐ฅ Confidence Thresholds (Usage Policy)¶
| Range | Meaning | Platform Behavior |
|---|---|---|
> 0.9 |
Strong, validated | Auto-injected and reused |
0.7 โ 0.9 |
Acceptable | Available for reuse and planning |
0.5 โ 0.7 |
Risky | Requires validation before reuse |
< 0.5 |
Untrusted | Blocked from injection, flagged for fix |
= 0 |
Deprecated | Marked invalid or removed |
๐ ๏ธ Example DSL Record with Confidence¶
id: dsl-auth-span
version: v1.2.1
confidence: 0.71
signals:
traceSuccessRate: 92%
testFailureRate: 5%
promptRejection: 2
forkCount: 3
userVotes: +15 / -1
lastUpdated: 2025-06-01
๐ง DSL Selection with Confidence¶
Agents can filter with MinConfidence:
dslSearchService.FindBestMatch(new DSLSearchQuery {
domain: "auth",
type: "span",
minConfidence: 0.8
});
This ensures agents prefer healthy DSLs.
๐ Confidence Heatmap (Future Visualization)¶
A future dashboard will visualize:
- Confidence over time (line chart)
- DSL family comparison (fork vs. parent)
- Signal breakdown pie chart
- Correlation to trace coverage
โ Summary¶
DSL confidence scoring enables:
- ๐ Trust-based reuse
- ๐ง Continuous learning
- โ Fault propagation detection
- ๐งช Quality-aware generation
- โ๏ธ Governance and review prioritization
โ DSL Review and Approval Workflows¶
๐ฏ Why a Review Workflow Is Critical¶
In a multi-agent system generating production-grade software:
- DSLs encode logic, structure, and intent
- Errors or misalignments in a DSL propagate into all generated outputs
- Forks and tenant-specific DSLs must be curated
- Security-sensitive or observability DSLs require human approval
- Auditability is mandatory for compliance and traceability
DSLs are the core of semantic control โ their lifecycle must be governed, reviewed, and approved.
๐ DSL Lifecycle Stages¶
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
draft |
Created but not yet validated |
under-review |
Submitted for human/agent validation |
active |
Approved and available for use |
deprecated |
Marked for replacement, not recommended |
replaced |
Superseded by a new DSL version |
archived |
Removed from prompt injection pool |
๐ ๏ธ Review Triggers¶
A DSL enters review when:
- Created manually by human (UI/CLI)
- Generated by agent with low initial confidence
- Forked from a shared DSL
- Version bump introduces breaking change
- Conflict with existing DSL detected
- Confidence drops below threshold
๐ง Review Agents and Roles¶
| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
DSLValidatorAgent |
Schema integrity, structural soundness, conformance to standards |
PromptPlannerAgent |
Ensures the DSL injects cleanly into prompts |
ConflictResolverAgent |
Checks for overlap, fork divergence, version drift |
GovernanceAgent |
Enforces review policy (approvals, merges, freezes) |
FeedbackAgent |
Surfaces usage results and human feedback during review |
TraceCoverageAgent |
Confirms test + span + trace coverage from DSL |
๐ค Human Review Workflow (Optional)¶
Humans may review high-risk DSLs using:
- A web UI with full metadata, confidence scores, impact analysis
- Review checklist (schema, examples, tags, trace coverage)
- Approval/rejection comments
- Merge/fork resolution tools
Example:
review:
status: pending
assignedTo: "Platform Architect"
checklist:
- [x] Valid JSON/YAML
- [x] Prompt Injection Passed
- [ ] Span Coverage โฅ 90%
- [ ] Conflict Check Cleared
comments: "Please add a test example and clarify field `retryPolicy`"
๐ฆ Fork Handling & Merging¶
| Scenario | Action |
|---|---|
| Tenant fork matches parent | Auto-approve inheritance |
| Fork diverges semantically | Require review/merge |
| Fork has conflicting ID | Auto-reject, request rename |
| Fork introduces observability changes | Mandatory human review |
All fork events are logged and linked to original DSL.
๐ฆ Automated Review Rules (Policy Engine)¶
Rules can be defined in governance policy:
reviewRules:
- type: "span"
domain: "auth"
requiredConfidence: 0.85
requireHumanApproval: true
minTraceCoverage: 95%
- type: "ui"
autoApproveIf:
confidence > 0.9
AND examples.count โฅ 2
๐ Review Status and History¶
Each DSL contains a review block:
review:
status: approved
approvedBy: GovernanceAgent
approvedAt: 2025-06-03
comments: "Reviewed for onboarding use case"
Full history is preserved for compliance and observability.
โ Summary¶
The DSL review workflow ensures:
- ๐ง Safety and accuracy of generation flows
- ๐งช Full trace and test coverage
- ๐ Fork and version sanity
- ๐งโโ๏ธ Governance and audit readiness
- ๐ Collaboration between agents and humans
๐ DSL Fork Management and Multi-Tenant Specialization¶
๐ฏ Why Forking DSLs Is Essential¶
In a platform supporting many SaaS domains and tenants:
- DSLs need to evolve per-tenant, per-feature, or per-regulation
- Forking enables custom logic without rewriting everything
- Preserves semantic lineage and composability
- Supports internal marketplaces of specialized DSLs
- Avoids cross-tenant conflict while keeping inheritance traceable
Forking creates isolated yet traceable variations, enabling true SaaS multi-tenancy.
๐ฟ Forking Semantics¶
When a DSL is forked:
| What Happens | Notes |
|---|---|
| New DSL ID is assigned | Often appends tenant suffix (e.g., -ecomx, -vet) |
forkedFrom metadata is set |
Links to source DSL |
| Field schema is cloned | Editable independently |
Confidence resets to 0.5 |
Needs local trace validation |
Tags may include fork or tenant:<id> |
Helps indexing and filtering |
| Prompt and template links are retained | But version mismatch may block injection |
๐ Example: Forked DSL Metadata¶
id: dsl-user-handler-ecomx-v1.0.0
forkedFrom: dsl-user-handler-v1.2.0
tenant: ecomx
tags: [user, handler, ecomx, fork]
status: draft
confidence: 0.5
differences:
- changedField: emitsEvent โ false (was true)
- addedField: segmentId
- removedField: retryPolicy
The fork may redefine logic for specific use cases like segmentation or auditing.
๐ ๏ธ Fork Management Lifecycle¶
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
forked |
New DSL forked from a base |
edited |
Custom fields added, removed, or updated |
validated |
Trace, prompt, and span integration tested |
approved |
Ready for tenant-specific generation |
mergedBack (optional) |
If fork represents global improvement |
deprecated |
No longer used for tenant or use case |
๐ Fork vs. Extend¶
| Criteria | Fork | Extend |
|---|---|---|
| Use case | Structural change, independence | Logical layering, reuse |
| Inheritance | Breaks it | Maintains it |
| Use in prompts | May conflict | Compatible |
| Agent behavior | Treats as distinct lineage | Treats as overlay |
| DSL Index Impact | Indexed separately | Linked hierarchically |
๐ง Agent Behavior with Forks¶
| Agent | Behavior |
|---|---|
PromptPlannerAgent |
Picks fork if tenant context matches |
ValidatorAgent |
Ensures fork doesn't break downstream |
ForkTrackerAgent |
Logs divergence, visualizes drift |
GovernanceAgent |
May require approval for sensitive forks |
ConflictResolverAgent |
Warns if fork overlaps another active DSL |
FeedbackAgent |
Tracks fork usage separately for scoring |
๐ง Fork-aware Prompt Injection¶
promptContext:
tenant: ecomx
dslSearch:
domain: user-management
type: blueprint
allowForks: true
preferTenantForks: true
This ensures tenant-specific DSLs are prioritized over global ones.
๐๏ธ Fork Dashboard View (Planned)¶
Future tooling will allow:
- ๐ฟ Fork trees by domain, tenant, type
- ๐ Drift diff visualization (e.g., field added/removed)
- ๐งช Fork-specific test/trace coverage
- ๐ Fork decay tracking (inactive forks)
- ๐ค Merge-back recommendations
โ Summary¶
Fork management supports:
- ๐ Tenant-specific customization
- ๐งฌ Semantic divergence without fragmentation
- ๐ Traceable lineage and inheritance
- ๐ง Agent-awareness of scope and compatibility
- ๐งช Domain-specific DSL lifecycle management
๐ง DSL Indexing and Embedding Infrastructure¶
๐ฏ Why Embed and Index DSLs?¶
To enable scalable multi-agent collaboration and real-time discovery, the DSL system must support:
- ๐ง Semantic similarity search
- ๐ Tag- and domain-based filtering
- ๐งฉ Prompt-to-DSL matching
- ๐ Fast injection and regeneration lookups
DSLs are embedded and indexed to function as semantic APIs for intelligent agents.
๐ฆ DSL Index Types¶
Each DSL is stored in one or more indexed stores, each with a different indexing strategy:
| Index Type | Description |
|---|---|
DSLMetadataIndex |
Fast lookup by ID, tags, type, domain, status |
DSLVectorIndex |
Vector embeddings for similarity matching |
DSLForkGraph |
Inheritance and fork lineage relationships |
DSLTraceIndex |
Usage history, test/trace results |
DSLInjectionIndex |
Prompt compatibility, conflicts, history |
DSLSpanMetricIndex |
Observability tag-to-span relationships |
DSLFeedbackIndex |
Human and agent voting logs |
DSLConfidenceModelStore |
Dynamic trust computation metadata |
DSLTemporalIndex |
Time-based version and decay tracking |
TenantScopedDSLIndex |
Isolated view per tenant for forked/overridden DSLs |
๐ง Semantic Embedding Pipeline¶
Every DSL is embedded using the DSL Embedding Service, which performs:
- DSL normalization โ removes ID/version/comments
- Field + example flattening โ into structured string
- Prompt-style representation โ e.g.,
"commandName: InviteUserCommand, emitsEvent: true..." - Vector embedding generation โ via Azure OpenAI / custom model
- Push to vector store โ Pinecone, Qdrant, Azure AI Search, etc.
The result is stored in DSLVectorIndex.
๐ง Example Embedding Input¶
type: blueprint, domain: user-management
Fields:
- commandName: string
- emitsEvent: bool
Examples:
- commandName: InviteUserCommand, emitsEvent: true
Becomes an embedding vector linked to:
embeddingId: vec-dsl-user-handler-v1.2
vectorStore: AzureCognitiveSearch
semanticTags: ["invite", "user", "command", "event"]
๐ Semantic Search Example¶
When an agent receives a task:
It performs:
- Embed query โ vector
- Search
DSLVectorIndexfor cosine similarity - Return ranked DSL matches
- Filter by:
minConfidencetenantContextstatus != deprecated
๐ Tag-Indexing (MetadataIndex)¶
All DSLs are also searchable by:
type,domain,layer,tags,status,tenant,extends,forkedFrom, etc.
Used in filtering, dashboards, governance tools.
Example query:
dslIndex.FindAll(d =>
d.domain == "auth" &&
d.type == "span" &&
d.status == "active" &&
d.tags.Contains("login"));
๐ Real-Time Index Updates¶
When a DSL is:
- Created โ new embedding, indexing
- Forked โ cloned metadata and index pointers
- Updated โ version re-embedded
- Used โ trace record updates signal success/failure
- Reviewed โ tags like
approved,sensitiveapplied - Deprecated โ removed from injection pool
All updates are propagated via event-driven triggers into the appropriate indexes.
๐ ๏ธ Multi-Store Architecture (Pluggable)¶
Indexes are decoupled and can use different backends:
| Index | Backing Store |
|---|---|
| Metadata | Azure Table / CosmosDB / PostgreSQL |
| Embedding | Pinecone / Qdrant / Azure AI Search |
| Fork Graph | Neo4j / GremlinDB / GraphQL |
| Trace Usage | ElasticSearch / Redis / SQL |
| Confidence Store | In-memory + Redis + Blob for snapshots |
โ Summary¶
The DSL Indexing and Embedding Infrastructure enables:
- ๐ Fast semantic discovery
- ๐ง Cross-agent knowledge reuse
- ๐ค Prompt-to-DSL alignment
- ๐ DSL health and usage tracking
- ๐ Real-time updates and trace-linked learning
๐งฉ DSL-Prompt Inference and Semantic Matching¶
๐ฏ Why Prompt-DSL Inference Matters¶
Agents often receive freeform instructions:
"Create a handler that invites a user and emits an event."
To ground this in structured generation, they must:
- ๐ง Match this intent to an existing DSL
- ๐ฆ Inject the correct schema into prompt planning
- ๐ Use DSL metadata to constrain, enrich, and validate generation
- ๐ Avoid ambiguity or semantic collisions
Prompt-DSL inference transforms natural language into actionable structured generation.
๐ง Inference Flow¶
flowchart TD
A[Agent Prompt or Task Input] --> B[Embed Prompt Intent]
B --> C[Query DSL Vector Index]
C --> D[Filter by Tags + Domain + Tenant]
D --> E[Select Top-N DSL Candidates]
E --> F[Prompt Injection Planner]
F --> G[Selected DSL Injected into Prompt Template]
๐ Example Prompt โ DSL Flow¶
Prompt Input:
Matched DSL:
id: dsl-user-handler-v1.2
domain: user-management
type: blueprint
fields:
- commandName: InviteUserCommand
- emitsEvent: true
- eventType: UserOnboarded
Injected into prompt like:
Prompt:
You are generating a domain handler.
Use this DSL:
{
commandName: "InviteUserCommand",
emitsEvent: true,
eventType: "UserOnboarded"
}
๐ฆ Prompt-to-DSL Matching Criteria¶
| Dimension | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Semantic similarity | Vector cosine similarity from embedded prompt |
| Metadata filters | DSL domain/type/tags/layer |
| Prompt hints | requiresDSL, preferTags, tenantContext |
| Trace reuse | Prior successful traces with same intent |
| DSL confidence | Score > min threshold (default 0.7) |
| Tenant scope | Prefer fork if available for tenant |
๐ง DSL-Aware Prompt Templates¶
Templates are DSL-bound:
promptTemplateId: prompt-domain-handler
requiresDSL:
domain: user-management
type: blueprint
enforceFields:
- emitsEvent
- commandName
preferConfidence: 0.85+
Ensures only high-trust DSLs are injected.
๐ Runtime Injection Handling¶
| Case | Result |
|---|---|
| Multiple DSL matches | Planner selects highest-score OR requests user clarification |
| No DSL match found | Agent may fallback to open generation (risky) or raise warning |
| Deprecated DSL matched | Planner blocks injection unless override specified |
| Tenant-specific fork | Prefer fork DSL if tenant context matches |
| Version mismatch | DSL updated automatically or planner flags injection version |
๐ DSL Selection Debug Trace (Logged)¶
promptId: prompt-notify-user
queryVectorMatch:
- dsl-notify-user-v1.1.0 (0.92)
- dsl-email-dispatch (0.89)
- dsl-user-message (0.73)
filters:
domain: notifications
status: active
tenant: shared
selectedDSL: dsl-notify-user-v1.1.0
reason: Highest semantic match + active + confidence > 0.9

โ Summary¶
Prompt-to-DSL inference enables:
- ๐ง Structured generation from freeform prompts
- ๐ Semantic precision in matching DSLs
- ๐ฆ Reliable injection of trusted schemas
- ๐ Traceable alignment across planning, code, test, span
- ๐ค Autonomous agent behavior grounded in DSL knowledge
๐งฉ DSL-Aware Prompt Templates and Tokens¶
๐ฏ Why Use DSL-Aware Prompt Templates?¶
Prompt templates act as semantic bridges between agents and generation outputs. When DSLs are injected:
- ๐ง Prompts become structured, context-aware, and reproducible
- ๐งฉ DSL fields are mapped to placeholders or tokens in the template
- ๐ฆ Generation is constrained and aligned to architectural contracts
- ๐ Validation and trace replay become deterministic
DSL-aware prompt templates ensure every agent response remains tightly aligned with factory intent.
๐ฆ Prompt Template Metadata¶
id: prompt-domain-handler
boundDSL:
domain: user-management
type: blueprint
requiresFields:
- commandName
- emitsEvent
tokens:
- {{CommandName}}
- {{EmitsEvent}}
- {{HandlerLogic}}
outputType: csharp-handler
version: v1.3
confidenceBoost: +0.05
This metadata defines:
- Which DSLs are allowed
- Which tokens must be filled
- Which DSL fields are mapped to which tokens
๐งฉ Token Mapping¶
DSL fields are dynamically mapped to tokens:
fieldToTokenMap:
commandName: "{{CommandName}}"
emitsEvent: "{{EmitsEvent}}"
retryPolicy: "{{RetryLogic}}"
Prompt rendering example:
Generate a C# domain handler for {{CommandName}}.
It should emit an event: {{EmitsEvent}}.
Use this retry logic: {{RetryLogic}}.
๐ง Types of Tokens¶
| Token Type | Description |
|---|---|
FieldToken |
Injects value of DSL field |
ExampleToken |
Uses example value or test case |
SchemaToken |
Injects full DSL field schema |
SpanToken |
Injects trace/span hints |
FeedbackToken |
Injects prior user feedback as context |
ConstraintToken |
DSL validation rules or limits |
Each token can be static, dynamic, or runtime evaluated.
๐ค DSL-Aware PromptPlanner Behavior¶
- Selects matching prompt template by DSL type/domain
- Maps DSL fields to tokens
- Validates all
requiresFieldsare present - Fills tokens in template
- Injects structured input into Semantic Kernel planner
๐ Prompt Selection Decision Log¶
selectedPromptTemplate: prompt-notify-handler
boundDSL: dsl-notify-user-v1.1.0
missingTokens: []
confidenceBoost: +0.05
outputType: csharp-command-handler
templateVersion: v1.3
All prompt selection decisions are auditable and linked to trace metadata.
๐ Dynamic Prompt Composition (Advanced)¶
Prompts may also be composed from:
- DSL metadata (title, description, tags)
- Prior generation logs
- Related DSLs via
includesorextends
Example:
You are generating a handler using the DSL: {{DSLTitle}}.
Tags: {{Tags}}
Inherited logic: {{ExtendedFieldDescriptions}}
โ Summary¶
DSL-aware prompt templates:
- Ensure precise alignment between DSLs and generation
- Use token mapping to expose DSL semantics to LLMs
- Are validated, versioned, and traceable
- Support multiple output types (code, test, span, config, docs)
- Drive reliable and controlled code generation
๐งช DSL-Driven Code Generation, Test Scaffolding, and Span Injection¶
๐ฏ How DSLs Drive Full-Stack Artifact Generation¶
In the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory, a well-defined DSL can generate:
- โ Source code (e.g., handlers, services, controllers)
- โ Unit and BDD-style tests (e.g., MSTest, SpecFlow)
- โ Observability spans and metrics (OpenTelemetry)
- โ Documentation fragments
- โ Validation rules and UI schemas
DSLs act as semantic generators, encoding not only structure but full intent coverage across factory layers.
๐ง 1. Code Generation from DSL¶
Example DSL:
id: dsl-user-handler-v1.2
fields:
commandName: InviteUserCommand
emitsEvent: true
eventType: UserInvited
Output handler:
public class InviteUserHandler : ICommandHandler<InviteUserCommand>
{
public async Task Handle(InviteUserCommand command)
{
// business logic here
_eventBus.Publish(new UserInvitedEvent { UserId = command.UserId });
}
}
๐ง Generated using: prompt-domain-handler with dsl-user-handler-v1.2
๐งช 2. Test Scaffolding via DSL¶
From the same DSL:
Scenario: Invite user successfully
Given a valid InviteUserCommand
When the handler is invoked
Then a UserInvited event should be published
โก๏ธ Used by: TestAutomationAgent, SpecFlowPlannerAgent
๐ 3. Span Injection and Tracing¶
DSL span definition:
span:
name: user.handler.invite
tags:
- commandName
- userId
- correlationId
emitOn:
- success
- failure
Agent generates:
{
"span": "user.handler.invite",
"tags": {
"commandName": "InviteUserCommand",
"userId": "1234",
"correlationId": "abc-xyz"
},
"result": "success"
}
โก๏ธ Injected into observability templates via TelemetrySpanAgent
๐ 4. Documentation and DSL Snapshots¶
DSL fields are used to auto-generate:
- Markdown summary of command handlers
- Code annotation blocks
- DSL tables in API documentation
- Links to examples and traces
Example:
## DSL: Invite User Handler
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| commandName | string | Name of the command |
| emitsEvent | boolean | Whether an event is emitted |
| eventType | string | Name of emitted event |
๐งฉ 5. Validation from DSL Rules¶
DSL can include rules:
rules:
commandName must match pattern: ^[A-Z][a-zA-Z]+Command$
emitsEvent is required
eventType is required if emitsEvent is true
โก๏ธ Injected into validation pipelines and code linting
๐ Trace Feedback Loop¶
When the DSL-generated code runs in production:
- โ Spans confirm successful execution
- โ Broken spans feed into
FeedbackAgent - ๐ DSL confidence is adjusted
- ๐ฆ Future generations adapt or fork
๐ง DSL โ Artifact Mapping Summary¶
| DSL Type | Output Artifact | Agent |
|---|---|---|
blueprint |
Code, handler, controller | CodeGenAgent |
span |
OpenTelemetry config | ObservabilityAgent |
test |
SpecFlow, MSTest file | TestAutomationAgent |
prompt |
AI input schema | PromptPlannerAgent |
ui-form |
Blazor/Angular form | UIDesignerAgent |
doc |
Markdown/Swagger notes | DocWriterAgent |
โ Summary¶
DSLs power end-to-end generation:
- ๐ฏ DSL โ Prompt โ Template โ Artifact โ Trace
- โ Test, trace, doc, and code all stem from the same semantic root
- ๐ Feedback loops keep DSLs accurate and evolving
- ๐ Confidence and quality are measurable and traceable
โ ๏ธ DSL Conflict Detection and Semantic Collision Resolution¶
๐ฏ Why Detect Conflicts?¶
As the factory scales with:
- ๐งฉ Multiple agents contributing DSLs
- ๐ง Forks and tenant overrides
- ๐ Inherited templates and prompts
- ๐ค Real-time generation across domains
It becomes inevitable that DSLs:
- โ Overlap semantically
- ๐งจ Contradict in structure or purpose
- ๐งช Interfere during injection or generation
Unresolved DSL collisions degrade generation quality, trace accuracy, and test coverage.
๐ Types of Conflicts¶
| Conflict Type | Example | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| ๐ช ID Conflict | Two DSLs with same id but different structure |
High |
| ๐ Field Overlap | Two DSLs defining commandName with incompatible types |
Medium |
| ๐ง Semantic Collision | Two DSLs modeling the same concept with different names | Medium |
| ๐งฉ Injection Ambiguity | Multiple DSLs matching the same prompt intent | High |
| ๐ Fork Drift | Forked DSL diverging too far from original without change tracking | Medium |
| ๐ง Cross-layer Conflict | Frontend DSL and backend DSL generate incompatible types | High |
๐ ๏ธ Conflict Detection Engine¶
The ConflictResolverAgent detects:
- Exact ID collision (same
idacross tenants) - Overlapping tags + domain + type
- Prompt mapping ambiguity (same prompt, multiple DSLs match > 0.9)
- Structure similarity with incompatible outputs
- Forks with critical field mutation
- Span tags overlapping with conflicting observability rules
Logged with:
conflictId: conflict-dsl-user-handler-dup
detectedBy: ConflictResolverAgent
type: id-structure-mismatch
dslIds:
- dsl-user-handler-v1.2
- dsl-user-handler-vet-v1.0
impact: high
resolution: manual review required
โ๏ธ Collision Resolution Strategies¶
| Strategy | Description |
|---|---|
| ๐ท๏ธ Rename + Fork | Create tenant-specific variant |
| ๐งฉ Merge | Reconcile fields and collapse into one DSL |
| ๐ก๏ธ Suppress | Deactivate conflicting DSL temporarily |
| ๐ Isolate by Tag | Use disjoint tags/domains to separate matching logic |
| ๐ง Add Prompt Constraint | Prevent conflicting injection by refining requiresDSL filters |
| ๐ Drift Tracker | Alert if fork deviates > N% from base |
๐ง Auto-Triage Rules¶
conflictPolicies:
- if: id-conflict
then: block injection + notify governance
- if: prompt-injection-ambiguity and confidence < 0.7
then: deprioritize + log
- if: fork diverges > 30%
then: trigger ForkDriftReview
๐ Conflict Heatmap & Dashboard (Planned)¶
- ๐ฅ Show domains with highest collision rate
- โ๏ธ Breakdown by DSL type (e.g.,
blueprint,span) - ๐ Conflict over time chart
- ๐ Trace failures due to DSL mismatch
๐ค Agents That Use Conflict Signals¶
| Agent | Usage |
|---|---|
PromptPlannerAgent |
Avoids ambiguous DSLs |
GovernanceAgent |
Flags conflicting DSLs for review |
ForkTrackerAgent |
Triggers drift alerts |
TraceValidatorAgent |
Detects runtime DSL mismatches |
KnowledgeGraphAgent |
Annotates graph nodes as conflicting or deprecated |
โ Summary¶
Conflict detection:
- ๐ง Preserves semantic clarity and generation precision
- ๐ Prevents trace failures and prompt ambiguity
- ๐งฉ Enables graceful fork evolution
- ๐ Supports governance and review workflows
- ๐ ๏ธ Resolves inconsistencies early in the generation chain
๐งท DSL-Enabled Governance, Freezing, Deprecation, and Audit Trails¶
๐ฏ Why Governance Matters for DSLs¶
As DSLs encode the semantic contracts of the AI Software Factory, governing their lifecycle ensures:
- ๐ก๏ธ Security and compliance
- ๐ Controlled evolution
- โ Safe deprecation without regressions
- ๐ Traceable audit logs for every change
- โ๏ธ Multi-tenant integrity and separation
DSL governance is the policy backbone of semantic generation.
๐ Governance Controls¶
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
frozen |
DSL is locked from further edits unless explicitly unfrozen |
deprecated |
Marked for no further use, replaced by successor |
requiresApproval |
Only usable after manual or agent review |
tenanted |
DSL is scoped to a specific tenant, isolated |
immutableFields |
Prevent structural changes to protected fields |
reviewChecklist |
DSL cannot be activated until checklist is complete |
๐ง Freezing DSLs¶
status: active
frozen: true
frozenBy: GovernanceAgent
reason: Used in 47 prompt templates and 123 trace runs
- No updates allowed unless unfrozen
- Protects critical DSLs in production
- Can be time-based or usage-based
โฐ๏ธ Deprecating DSLs¶
status: deprecated
replacedBy: dsl-user-handler-v2.0
reason: New version aligns with refactored command model
Agents using deprecated DSLs:
- โ ๏ธ Receive warning
- ๐ Are guided to replacement
- ๐ฆ PromptPlanner falls back to
replacedByautomatically
๐งพ Audit Trail Structure¶
Each DSL has a full changelog:

โ Summary¶
Governance and audit tracking empower the platform to:
- ๐ Lock trusted DSLs in place
- ๐งฏ Safely phase out legacy models
- ๐ Maintain full audit history
- ๐ง Enforce lifecycle and usage policy
- ๐ Enable security, observability, and regulatory compliance
๐ DSL Federation Across Projects and Agent Clusters¶
๐ฏ Why Federation Is Necessary¶
ConnectSoftโs AI Software Factory operates across:
- ๐ผ Multiple customer domains (e.g., HR, Healthcare, eCommerce)
- ๐๏ธ Multiple projects (microservices, libraries, UIs)
- ๐ค Multiple agent clusters (architecture, testing, observability, UX)
To support scalability, DSLs must:
- Be discoverable, composable, and scoped
- Allow reuse across agents and templates
- Enable tenant-specific specialization without duplication
- Maintain semantic coherence across clusters
DSL federation enables controlled sharing, versioning, and cross-domain interoperability.
๐งฉ Federation Principles¶
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| ๐ฆ Shared Core | Foundational DSLs (e.g., command-handler, span) live in the shared/core namespace |
| ๐ฑ Scoped Forks | Each project or tenant forks DSLs as needed, preserving lineage |
| ๐ง Cross-Cluster Compatibility | DSLs contain type tags, version metadata for validation across agent clusters |
| ๐ Lifecycle Synchronization | DSL updates propagate via trace usage and approval events |
| ๐งญ Knowledge-Aware Routing | Agents query DSLs based on scoped federation rules |
๐๏ธ DSL Namespace Convention¶
dsl/
shared/core/blueprints/
shared/core/spans/
tenants/vetsoft/blueprints/
tenants/hrvault/forms/
domains/ecommerce/prompts/
This structure enables:
- ๐๏ธ Clear visibility of DSL ownership and reuse
- โ Traceable governance paths
- ๐ Multi-layer agent lookup
๐ Example: Federated DSL Query¶
agentContext:
project: vetsoft-user-service
tenant: vetsoft
agentCluster: backend
dslQuery:
