Owner

Objective

Define the first strict JSON schema for RGB Aura animation packs.

This schema is the contract between an LLM-generated animation pack and RGB Aura’s runtime. It must be strict enough to validate safety and compatibility before any animation pack can be loaded.

Scope

Create a JSON schema for animation packs.

The schema should support the first practical vertical slice, not every future feature.

Required schema concepts

The schema should describe:

Pack metadata.
Pack name.
Pack version.
Target RGB Aura schema version.
Author/source field.
Description.
Compatible device profile identifier.
Required logical zones.
Effects per logical zone.
Timeline or sequence structure.
Colors.
LED index ranges.
Durations.
Transition behavior.
Repeat/loop behavior.
Safety limits.

Required safety constraints

The schema should prevent or reject:

Unknown logical zones.
Use of the reserved ARGB zone.
LED indexes outside the usable range.
Unsupported effect types.
Missing required metadata.
Invalid colors.
Invalid durations.
Invalid timeline structure.
Arbitrary code.
File paths or shell commands.
Any data field intended to execute code.

Initial effect types

Keep the first version simple. Possible first supported effect types:

solid
fade
sweep
shimmer
pulse
sparkle, if safe and bounded

Only include effect types that can realistically be validated and implemented in the v1.1.0 runtime loader.

Out of scope

Full advanced animation language.
Python plugin support.
Dynamic scripts.
User marketplace metadata.
Network fetching.
Runtime auto-download of packs.

Acceptance criteria

A strict JSON schema exists in the repository.
The schema can validate the first built-in JSON animation pack.
The schema rejects unknown zones and reserved zones.
The schema rejects out-of-range LED indexes.
The schema does not allow arbitrary code execution.
The architecture document is updated if needed to reference the schema.
