VS Code Extension
Crafter authors and validates capabilities inside the IDE developers (and their AI copilots) already live in — VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and the rest of the AI-IDE family. It lands the reviewed capability.yaml on the first of the Fleet's three surfaces, and it is free in every edition.
Governance where the capability is written
Crafter wraps the Naftiko capability spec in the editing surface the developer never leaves. Structure and rules are validated as you type, against the same schema and the same rule packs that run in CI.
Every edition
Structure validation via JSON Schema and rules validation via Polychro, surfaced as live diagnostics in the editor and the Problems panel — right where the capability is written.
IntelliSense for capability YAML
Every edition
Autocomplete and inline documentation for every field in the Ikanos spec, driven by the published JSON Schema.
Copilot-ready authoring
Every edition
The capability spec is the contract the copilot is asked to fill in. Schema completion and live diagnostics make that contract legible to the agent, and catch it when it invents a field.
OpenAPI validation too
Every edition
The same structure and rules validation for OpenAPI 3.1, 3.0, and Swagger 2.0 documents, not just capability files.
Your own rulesets
Every edition
Point Crafter at a custom Polychro ruleset and it applies your rules alongside the built-in ones — the same packs your CI enforces.
Live topology panel
Roadmap
See the multi-protocol surface of your capability — REST, MCP, Skill — update as you edit, before anything is deployed.
JSONPath + Mustache linting
Roadmap
Validate every expression in the spec against the consumed payload shape, so mapping errors surface at author time rather than at runtime.
One-click run / stop
Roadmap
Launch and stop a capability on Ikanos from the editor to test the tool locally before it ever reaches staging.
Any AI IDE, no new tool to adopt
Crafter ships on the VS Code Marketplace and is compatible with Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Kiro, and Trae. It is designed for the AI-copilot authoring loop: the capability spec is the contract the copilot fills in, and the IDE makes that contract legible to the agent.
Every edition
Install Naftiko Crafter straight from the Marketplace. No server-side dependency — the schema and the Polychro engine are embedded, so validation runs entirely offline.
Compatible with the AI-IDE family
Every edition
Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Kiro, and Trae all load the extension unchanged — the same schema completion and the same diagnostics.
The other two surfaces
Crafter is one of three components that carry the same reviewed capability spec onto the surfaces your teams already use. Crafter is free in every edition; Warden and Skipper are Enterprise components.
Backstage Integration
Turn the Backstage portal your platform team already runs into the golden path for creating, documenting, and cataloguing capabilities.
Kubernetes Integration
Run capabilities on Kubernetes as a Capability CRD, with spec drift detection, GitOps deployment, and Prometheus observability.
