Terminology Model Learn
Use Learn to understand and apply the system. Use Standards when you need the governing contract.
Governing standards Document Role and Artifact Specification These define the role-specific rules and the shared authoring model.
Artifact family Artifact Definition This is the definition document for one specific artifact type.
Implemented instance Artifact Document This is the concrete artifact produced or rendered under the governing contracts.
Input contract Data Schema Validates the data JSON before rendering begins.
Render contract Template Schema Validates the markdown-template JSON separately from the data contract.
Final output Report The finished HTML output that appears only after both validations succeed.
Precise language keeps the workflow understandable for both people and tools.
Cuddler works best when the language stays precise. The public model uses a small set of terms that map to different responsibilities in the publication and rendering workflow.
Core terms Document Role : the job an artifact plays in the system. Today the public roles are Data, Template, and Process.Document Role Specification : the governing standard for one document role. It tells you what additional rules apply when an artifact’s role is Data, Template, or Process.Artifact Specification : the shared standard for authoring public Artifact Definitions.Artifact Definition : the definition document for a specific artifact type.Artifact Document : the actual implemented artifact that is produced or rendered from the governed contract.Data Schema : the schema used to validate data JSON before rendering.Template Schema : the schema used to validate markdown-compliant template-document JSON separately from the data.Report : the final HTML output produced after validation succeeds and rendering is allowed to proceed.Why the terms matter These terms are not interchangeable. A Document Role answers “what is this artifact for?” The Artifact Specification answers “what shared authoring rules apply?” The Artifact Definition answers “what exact artifact type is this?” Keeping those boundaries visible makes the model easier to explain, validate, and implement.

AI Safety Policy Cuddler.dev is operated by IdeaTilt Inc. This policy explains how AI-assisted systems, generated outputs, and automation patterns associated with Cuddler.dev are expected to be used, reviewed, and constrained.
Updated: March 23, 2026
1. Purpose and Scope Cuddler.dev publishes standards, examples, schema artifacts, embedded guidance, and implementation guidance intended to support safe and structured AI-assisted document generation. This policy applies to AI-generated or AI-assisted content, workflows, and integrations that IdeaTilt Inc. publishes through Cuddler.dev or uses to operate related services.
2. Human Accountability AI systems may assist with drafting, transformation, classification, or rendering workflows, but people remain responsible for decisions, approvals, and public publication. IdeaTilt Inc. expects human review before relying on AI-generated outputs for legal, commercial, compliance, or operationally sensitive use cases.
3. Validation Before Use Generated JSON and templates should be checked against the applicable schema, specification, or implementation contract before use. Validation failures, version mismatches, or unsafe render conditions should block downstream publishing or rendering. Examples and reusable artifacts should prefer deterministic, inspectable structures over opaque free-form output. 4. Safety Controls for Rendered Output Untrusted content should remain subject to strict sanitization by default. Scripts, unsafe embeds, event handlers, and non-whitelisted protocols should not be introduced through AI-generated templates or content. Any relaxation of sanitization or external-asset controls should be deliberate, reviewable, and appropriate to the trust level of the content source. 5. Data Handling and Confidentiality Artifact Documents are confidential by default unless explicitly designated otherwise. Users should not place confidential, regulated, or sensitive information into AI systems unless the applicable service, contract, and safeguards are appropriate for that information. Data shared with AI-assisted workflows should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the task.
6. Prohibited or Restricted Uses Do not use Cuddler.dev materials to misrepresent authorship, provenance, approvals, or compliance status. Do not use AI-generated output from Cuddler.dev workflows as a substitute for legal, security, financial, or other professional advice without qualified review. Do not use published schemas, examples, or embedded guidance to facilitate harmful, deceptive, abusive, or unlawful activity. 7. Monitoring, Correction, and Improvement IdeaTilt Inc. may review feedback, investigate unsafe behavior, revise published materials, or remove content when accuracy, safety, or misuse concerns arise. Safety-related fixes may include prompt changes, schema changes, documentation changes, stricter validation, or tighter publication controls.
8. Questions and Incident Reporting Questions about this policy, or reports of unsafe AI behavior associated with Cuddler.dev, may be sent to hello@cuddler.dev .
