Crafter¶
Crafter is the capability builder of the Naftiko Fleet — a spec-aware authoring environment that turns the Ikanos YAML specification into a high-productivity editing experience, and back, without loss.
Why Crafter¶
A YAML capability is the truth. But authoring complex multi-step orchestration, multi-adapter exposes, and aggregate functions purely in YAML hits the same fatigue curve as authoring complex CloudFormation by hand. Crafter solves that with a bidirectional editor: you can edit visually, you can edit the YAML, the two stay in sync, and the YAML is always the source of truth.
Pillars¶
| Pillar | What it means |
|---|---|
| YAML round-trip | Comments, ordering, and formatting are preserved across visual edits |
| Schema-aware | Every field is validated against ikanos-schema.json as you type |
| Polychro-integrated | Diagnostics from the bundled rulesets surface inline on the canvas |
| OpenAPI import | Drop in any OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 document; Crafter generates the consumes block |
| Mock-first | Tools and operations can be stubbed in mock mode, runnable instantly with Ikanos |
| AI-assist | Optional LLM suggestions for output mappings, descriptions, and step orchestration |
