Adding a New RTTcode Domain

RTTcodes support multiple domains (RTT, SET, Substrate, Observer, Governance, Docs, Other). You can extend the system by adding a new domain in a structured, schema‑aligned way.

Follow these steps:

1. Choose a domain identifier#

Use a short, lowercase string:

"astro"
"bio"
"ops"
"viz"

Avoid spaces and uppercase letters.

2. Add the domain to the schema#

Edit:

docs/rttcodes/schema/rttcode.schema.json

Add your domain to the enum list under domain:

"domain": {
  "type": "string",
  "enum": ["rtt", "set", "substrate", "observer", "governance", "docs", "other", "astro"]
}

3. Create a domain folder under examples#

Add:

docs/rttcodes/examples/astro/

Include:

• payload.json
• astro-rttcode.png
• README.md describing the domain’s purpose

4. Define the visual identity#

Add a row to:

docs/rttcodes/style/color-domains.png

And update:

docs/rttcodes/style/visual-guidelines.md

Define:

• primary color
• secondary color
• accent color
• domain motifs (e.g., orbital arcs, spectral lines)

5. Add a generator example (optional)#

Place a sample payload in:

docs/rttcodes/generators/examples/

This helps contributors test the new domain.

6. Validate the new domain#

Run:

node generate_rttcode.js payload.json test.png

or

python generate_rttcode.py payload.json test.png

If the schema accepts the payload and the QR is generated, the domain is fully integrated.

7. Document the domain#

Update:

docs/rttcodes/README.md

Add your domain to the domain list and link to its example folder.

Done#

Your new domain is now:

• schema‑valid
• generator‑compatible
• visually defined
• documented
• ready for use across TriadicFrameworks
