System Interface (package.lisp)

The package.lisp file defines the public API of the opencortex harness. It serves as the primary membrane between the deterministic core modules and the dynamic world of skills and actuators.

Architectural Intent: The Package Membrane

By strictly defining the public interface, we ensure that skills remain decoupled from the harness implementation details. This allows for autonomous replacement of any component (e.g., swapping the Memory or the Probabilistic Engine) without breaking existing skills.

Package Implementation

(in-package :opencortex)

Harness Logging State

The harness maintains a thread-safe circular log buffer to provide context for debugging and neural reasoning.

(defvar *system-logs* nil)
(defvar *logs-lock* (bt:make-lock "harness-logs-lock"))
(defvar *max-log-history* 100)

Skills Registry

(defvar *skills-registry* (make-hash-table :test 'equal)
  "Global registry of all loaded skills.")

Skill Telemetry State

(defvar *skill-telemetry* (make-hash-table :test 'equal))
(defvar *telemetry-lock* (bt:make-lock "harness-telemetry-lock"))

Telemetry Implementation

The system tracks the performance and reliability of individual skills. This logic is currently preserved in the package layer for future expansion into a dedicated telemetry skill.

(defun harness-track-telemetry (skill-name duration status)
  "Updates performance metrics for a specific skill. Status should be :success or :rejected."
  (when skill-name 
    (bt:with-lock-held (*telemetry-lock*)
      (let ((entry (or (gethash skill-name *skill-telemetry*) (list :executions 0 :total-time 0 :failures 0))))
        (incf (getf entry :executions)) 
        (incf (getf entry :total-time) duration)
        (when (eq status :rejected) (incf (getf entry :failures))) 
        (setf (gethash skill-name *skill-telemetry*) entry)))))

Cognitive Tool Registry

The Tool Registry allows the agent to interact with the physical world. Every tool must define a guard (for security) and a body (for execution).

(defvar *cognitive-tools* (make-hash-table :test 'equal))

(defstruct cognitive-tool
  name
  description
  parameters
  guard
  body)

(defmacro def-cognitive-tool (name description parameters &key guard body)
  "Registers a new cognitive tool into the global registry. Parameters must be a list of property lists."
  `(setf (gethash (string-downcase (string ',name)) *cognitive-tools*)
         (make-cognitive-tool :name (string-downcase (string ',name))
                              :description ,description
                              :parameters ',parameters
                              :guard ,guard
                              :body ,body)))

Harness Logging Implementation

Centralized logging function. It simultaneously writes to standard output and the in-memory circular buffer.

(defun harness-log (msg &rest args)
  "Centralized logging for the harness."
  (let ((formatted-msg (apply #'format nil msg args)))
    (bt:with-lock-held (*logs-lock*)
      (push formatted-msg *system-logs*)
      (when (> (length *system-logs*) *max-log-history*)
        (setq *system-logs* (subseq *system-logs* 0 *max-log-history*))))
    (format t "~a~%" formatted-msg)
    (finish-output)))
