Execution preflight
Check files, target order, policy and receipt destinations before an explicit local execution.
One intent. Multiple creative tools.
Stop relearning the same operation.
Creative Capability Bridge defines a small, inspectable protocol for text and transforms, then adds transactions, rollback, policies, pipelines, signed evidence, and adapters for Blender, Inkscape, and GIMP 3.
- Local execution
- Source-preserving defaults
- No runtime AI
Protocol, not a skin
The shared layer stays small.
- DescribeBuild a versioned JSON plan with explicit targets and units.
- ValidateApply schemas, target linting, policies, and adapter negotiation before launch.
- TranslateUse Blender background Python, direct SVG, or GIMP 3 Script-Fu.
- PreserveStage and inspect outputs transactionally with rollback for replacements.
Verification toolkit
Carry evidence with the work.
- Inspect + diffDiscover targets and compare semantic changes instead of relying only on file hashes.
- ResumeSelect operations by ID or tag and continue only when checkpoint hashes still match.
- CoordinateNormalize physical units, pixels, Blender units, origins, axes, and rotation direction.
- AuthenticateOptionally sign bundle manifests and receipts with local Ed25519 keys.
Version 1.5 plan review
More than plan translation.
CCB now coordinates complete, reviewable execution workflows while keeping version 1 plans compatible.
Reviewable plan editing
Import local JSON, compare plans in the CLI, edit and reorder the queue, and undo browser-session changes.
Portable font mapping
Resolve application-specific families, check explicit inventories and local font files, and report missing fonts before execution.
Measured conformance
Generate transform and round-trip fixtures with explicit pivot semantics. Record exact application versions and keep unverified combinations visible.
Semantic document diffs
Compare meaningful document structure before and after execution, not only opaque file hashes.
Transactional execution
Stage and inspect output before atomic replacement, retaining rollback backups when existing files change.
Resumable plans
Continue from hash-bound checkpoints while refusing output, plan, or state drift.
Selective operations
Run, skip, or resume from specific operation IDs and tags without rewriting a plan.
Coordinate normalization
Translate units, origins, axes, DPI, dimensions, and rotation direction explicitly.
Policy profiles
Constrain adapters, capabilities, paths, sizes, replacement, inspection, receipts, and signatures.
Multi-document pipelines
Validate and execute dependency-aware document graphs with missing-node and cycle detection.
Adapter conformance
Check adapter contracts with reusable fixtures and optional native application runs.
Signed evidence
Optionally authenticate bundle manifests and execution receipts with local Ed25519 keys.
GIMP 3 support
Create and update XCF text and transforms through the Script-Fu batch adapter and inspect layers safely.
Reference interface
Build an inspectable plan.
This page creates JSON only. Execution remains an explicit local CLI step.
Operation queue
Plan preview
Add an operation to generate a plan.
Research, not promises
Where the bridge could go next.
Future work advances only when application semantics can be specified and tested honestly.
Live adapter sessions
Local plug-in bridges for selection, state, undo groups, and event synchronization.
More applications
Conformance-researched adapters for FreeCAD and other tools with compatible semantics.
More capabilities
Export profiles, asset browsing, parameter editing, timelines, and explicit pivot contracts.
Guarded language planning
Optional proposals that produce visible protocol commands—not arbitrary scripts—and require confirmation.
Measured compatibility
Version 1.4.0 evidence: Blender 4.0.2 passed native smoke, font loading and four transform round trips. Inkscape 1.2.2 passed native smoke; SVG document round trips also passed. GIMP native acceptance remains unverified.
