How the Dillweed Namespace Stack Works

Overview

The Dillweed Namespace Stack operates as a coordination layer that allows independently developed systems to identify, discover, and interact with each other through a consistent structure.

At a high level, it works through three core components: identity, registry, and resolution.


1. Identity

Each agent, tool, or capability is assigned a persistent name within the namespace.

This name serves as a stable reference point, independent of location or implementation.

Example:

dillweed:studio

2. Registry

The registry provides structured discovery.

It maintains information about available capabilities, including what they are, what they do, and how they can be accessed.

Rather than hardcoding connections between systems, the registry allows capabilities to be located dynamically.


3. Resolver

The resolver translates a name into an actionable endpoint.

Given a reference such as dillweed:studio, the resolver determines how to reach or invoke that capability.

This enables deterministic routing without requiring systems to know each other in advance.


How these components work together

The interaction is simple:

  1. A system references a capability by name
  2. The registry provides information about that capability
  3. The resolver determines how to reach it
  4. The systems interact through that resolved endpoint

This allows independently built systems to coordinate without tight coupling.


Key properties


What this enables

By introducing structured identity, discovery, and resolution, the Dillweed Namespace Stack enables coordination between systems that were not designed to work together.

This makes it possible to build larger systems from smaller, independently developed components.
