Schema

@kjanat/dreamcli/schema is the package's published definition-schema export.
It resolves to the same schema referenced by generateSchema() output, with a package-target specific mapping:

• npm/package export (package.json): ./schema -> dreamcli.schema.json
• Deno/JSR export (deno.json): ./schema -> src/schema.ts (which re-exports the same schema)

Use it when you want local or offline validation of dreamcli definition metadata without depending on the CDN $schema URL.

Importing The Schema

import schema from '@kjanat/dreamcli/schema';

schema.$schema;
schema.$defs.command;

In TypeScript, this works with resolveJsonModule.
Runtime loading behavior depends on the host runtime export target (see notes above). For Node on the npm/package target, import with with { type: 'json' }.

Common Uses

• Validate the output of generateSchema(myCli.schema) in tests or tooling.
• Ship an offline $schema target in repos that do not want network lookups.
• Feed the schema into JSON Schema tooling such as Ajv or IDE integrations.

Pairing With generateSchema()

import schema from '@kjanat/dreamcli/schema';
import {
  cli,
  command,
  generateSchema,
} from '@kjanat/dreamcli';

const app = cli('mycli').command(command('deploy'));
const definition = generateSchema(app.schema);

definition.$schema;
schema.$id;

definition.$schema points at the public schema URL, while the package export gives you the same definition locally from the installed package.
