ARDCatalog Lab

AI-CATALOG.JSON VALIDATOR

Catch discovery errors before crawlers do.

Paste an ARD catalog for local checks based on the v0.9 draft and AI Catalog 1.0 examples. The report separates blocking structural errors from recommendations that improve semantic discovery.

Structural checks

Every entry needs an identifier, display name, media type, and exactly one artifact delivery mechanism: a remote url or inline data. Duplicate identifiers and invalid timestamps are also reported.

Discovery quality checks

Descriptions should explain when to select the resource. Two to five realistic representative queries give registries stronger text for semantic ranking than a short tag list alone.

Draft-spec note

ARD remains a proposal. Use this browser preflight for fast feedback, then run the official conformance tooling against the exact specification version used by your registry.
