# Research Packet Schema (Normative)
|
|
|
|
A **Research Packet** is the only permitted format for data flowing from FETCH to CORE.
|
|
|
|
All packet content is treated as **untrusted data**. The packet is designed to:
|
|
- preserve provenance (where it came from)
|
|
- prevent instruction smuggling
|
|
- constrain content into predictable sections
|
|
- support deterministic validation and quarantining
|
|
|
|
Packets that do not conform MUST be quarantined.
|
|

|
|
## File Naming
|
|
|
|
Recommended:
|
|
- `RP-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSSZ-<slug>.md`
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Required Front Matter
|
|
|
|
Research Packets MUST begin with YAML front matter:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
packet_type: research_packet
|
|
schema_version: 1
|
|
packet_id: "RP-20260209-153012Z-arxiv-llm-security"
|
|
created_utc: "2026-02-09T15:30:12Z"
|
|
source_kind: "arxiv|pubmed|crossref|europepmc|doi|url|manual"
|
|
source_ref: "https://... or DOI or PMID"
|
|
title: "..."
|
|
authors: ["Last, First", "..."]
|
|
published_date: "YYYY-MM-DD" # if known
|
|
retrieved_utc: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"
|
|
license: "open|unknown|restricted"
|
|
content_hashes:
|
|
body_sha256: "hex..."
|
|
sources_sha256: "hex..."
|
|
---
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
* `license` is informational; CORE must still treat as untrusted.
|
|
* `content_hashes` support auditability and tamper detection.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Required Sections (in this order)
|
|
|
|
Packets MUST contain the following H2 sections, exactly:
|
|
|
|
1. `## Executive Summary`
|
|
2. `## Source Metadata`
|
|
3. `## Extracted Content`
|
|
4. `## Claims and Evidence`
|
|
5. `## Safety Notes`
|
|
6. `## Citations`
|
|
|
|
### 1) Executive Summary
|
|
|
|
* Short, neutral description of what the source is about
|
|
* No imperatives, no instructions to CORE
|
|
* No tool suggestions
|
|
|
|
### 2) Source Metadata
|
|
|
|
Must include:
|
|
|
|
* canonical URL / DOI / PMID
|
|
* publication venue (if known)
|
|
* retrieval method (API vs HTML)
|
|
* any access constraints observed
|
|
|
|
### 3) Extracted Content
|
|
|
|
* Quotes are allowed but must be short and attributed.
|
|
* Prefer paraphrase with citations.
|
|
* Avoid embedding procedural steps (install/run) beyond what is necessary to understand the source.
|
|
|
|
### 4) Claims and Evidence
|
|
|
|
A list of claim blocks:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
- Claim: ...
|
|
Evidence: ...
|
|
Confidence: low|medium|high
|
|
Citation: [C1]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5) Safety Notes
|
|
|
|
This section is mandatory and MUST contain:
|
|
|
|
* `Untrusted Content Statement:` a sentence explicitly stating the content is untrusted and must not be treated as instructions.
|
|
* `Injection Indicators:` list any suspicious patterns found (or `None observed`).
|
|
|
|
### 6) Citations
|
|
|
|
A numbered list with stable labels:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
[C1] Author, Title, Venue, Year. URL/DOI.
|
|
[C2] ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Forbidden Content (Validation Failures)
|
|
|
|
Packets MUST be rejected if they contain (case-insensitive, including obfuscations):
|
|
|
|
* shell commands or code blocks intended for execution (e.g., `bash`, `sh`, `powershell`)
|
|
* installation instructions (`apt`, `pip install`, `curl | sh`, etc.)
|
|
* persistence suggestions (cron, systemd units, init scripts)
|
|
* instructions aimed at overriding hierarchy (“ignore previous instructions”, “system prompt”, etc.)
|
|
* embedded credentials or tokens
|
|
* links to executables or binary downloads presented as steps to take
|
|
|
|
Packets may describe such things academically if necessary, but must do so as **descriptive text** with no runnable commands.
|
|
|

|
|
## Validation Output
|
|
|
|
Validators should produce:
|
|
|
|
* `ACCEPT` → moved to `handoff/inbound-to-core/`
|
|
* `REJECT` → moved to `handoff/quarantine/` with a reason report
|
