 # Build a Signals Agent
 
-## Overview
+A signals agent serves audience and contextual targeting segments to buyer agents. The fastest path to a passing agent is to **fork the worked adapter** and replace its `// SWAP:` markers with calls to your backend.
 
-A signals agent serves audience segments to buyers for campaign targeting. Two tools: `get_signals` (discovery) and `activate_signal` (push to DSPs or sales agents). The business model — marketplace vs owned data — shapes every implementation decision. Determine that first.
+## Pick your fork target
 
-> **Common shape gotchas:** `signal_ids[]` in `get_signals` is `signal_id[]` (provenance objects with `source`/`data_provider_domain`/`id`), not bare strings. `activate_signal` returns deployments with `ActivationKey` `oneOf` — for `type: 'key_value'` the `key` and `value` fields sit at the TOP level of `activation_key`, NOT nested under a `key_value` sub-field. See [SHAPE-GOTCHAS.md](../SHAPE-GOTCHAS.md) for the patterns adopters consistently get wrong on first pass.
+| Specialism | Archetype | Fork this | Mock upstream | Storyboard |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `signal-marketplace` | Multi-provider data marketplace (Oracle Data Cloud, LiveRamp, third-party data) | [`hello_signals_adapter_marketplace.ts`](../../examples/hello_signals_adapter_marketplace.ts) | `npx adcp mock-server signal-marketplace` | `signal_marketplace` |
+| `signal-owned` | First-party / single-provider data (CDP, identity provider, contextual) | Fork the marketplace adapter; see [deletion list below](#what-to-delete-if-youre-single-specialism-signal-owned) | — | `signal_owned` |
 
-## When to Use
+Both specialisms share the same tool surface (`get_signals`, `activate_signal`, `list_accounts`); the difference is whether you serve segments from multiple `data_provider_domain` values or one. A `signal-owned` adapter is the marketplace adapter with the multi-provider directory simplified to a single seed.
 
-- User wants to build an agent that serves audience/targeting data
-- User mentions signals, segments, audiences, data provider, or CDP in the context of AdCP
-- User references `get_signals`, `activate_signal`, or the signals protocol

-## Protocol-Wide Requirements
-
-Full treatment lives in `skills/build-seller-agent/SKILL.md` §Protocol-Wide Requirements and §Composing. Minimum viable pointers for a signals agent:
-
-- **`idempotency_key`** on every mutating request (`activate_signal`, and any future mutating signals tools). Pass `createIdempotencyStore` to `createAdcpServerFromPlatform(platform, { idempotency })`.
-- **Authentication** via `serve({ authenticate })` with `verifyApiKey`/`verifyBearer` from `@adcp/sdk/server`. Unauthenticated agents fail the universal `security_baseline` storyboard.
-- **Signature-header transparency**: accept requests with `Signature-Input`/`Signature` headers even if you don't claim `signed-requests`.
-
-## Before Writing Code
-
-Determine these four things. Ask the user — don't guess.
-
-### 1. Marketplace or Owned?
-
-These are fundamentally different businesses.
-
-**Marketplace** — aggregates third-party data providers (LiveRamp, Oracle Data Cloud, Lotame). Each signal traces to a `data_provider_domain` that buyers can verify via `adagents.json`. `signal_type: "marketplace"`, `signal_id.source: "catalog"`.
-
-**Owned** — first-party data (retailer CDP, publisher contextual, CRM). Buyers trust your agent directly. `signal_type: "owned"` or `"custom"`, `signal_id.source: "agent"`.
-
-### 2. What Segments?
-
-Get specifics: names, definitions, what each represents. Push for 3-5 segments with variety. Each needs:
-
-- Clear behavioral/demographic definition
-- Realistic `coverage_percentage` (typically 5-30%)
-- Value type: `binary` (in/out), `categorical` (tier levels — define the categories), or `numeric` (score range — define min/max)
-
-### 3. Pricing
-
-At least one pricing option per signal. Signals use `VendorPricingOption` (field: `model`), distinct from product `PricingOption` (field: `pricing_model`).
-
-- `cpm` — `{ pricing_option_id: "po_cpm", model: "cpm", cpm: 2.50, currency: "USD" }`
-- `percent_of_media` — `{ pricing_option_id: "po_pom", model: "percent_of_media", percent: 15, currency: "USD" }`
-- `flat_fee` — `{ pricing_option_id: "po_flat", model: "flat_fee", amount: 5000, period: "monthly", currency: "USD" }`
-
-### 4. Activation Destinations
-
-If implementing `activate_signal`:
-
-- **Platform** (DSP): `type: "platform"`, returns `activation_key: { type: "segment_id", segment_id: "..." }`
-- **Agent** (sales agent): `type: "agent"`, returns `activation_key: { type: "key_value", key: "...", value: "..." }`
-
-## Tools and Required Response Shapes
-
-> **Before writing any handler's return statement, fetch [`docs/llms.txt`](../../docs/llms.txt) and grep for `#### \`<tool_name>\``(e.g.`#### \`get_signals\``) to read the exact required + optional field list.** The schema-derived contract lives there; this skill covers patterns, gotchas, and domain-specific examples. Strict response validation is on by default in dev — it will tell you the exact field path if you drift, so write the obvious thing and trust the contract.
->
-> **Cross-cutting pitfalls matrix runs keep catching:**
->
-> - **Declare `capabilities.specialisms: ['signal-marketplace'] as const` (or `'signal-owned'`) on the `DecisioningPlatform` you pass to `createAdcpServerFromPlatform`.** Value is `string[]` of enum ids (not `[{id, version}]`). Agents that don't declare their specialism fail the grader with "No applicable tracks found" even if every tool works — tracks are gated on the specialism claim.
-
-**`get_adcp_capabilities`** — auto-generated by `createAdcpServerFromPlatform` from your typed `DecisioningPlatform`. Do not register manually.
-
-**`get_signals`** — handled by `signals.getSignals`
-
-Two discovery modes — support both:
-
-1. `signal_spec` — natural language. Match against segment names and descriptions.
-2. `signal_ids` — exact lookup by `{ source, data_provider_domain, id }` or `{ source, agent_url, id }`.
-
-Plus filtering via `filters.catalog_types`, `filters.max_cpm`, `filters.min_coverage_percentage`, and `max_results`.
-
-```
-getSignalsResponse({
-  signals: [{
-    signal_agent_segment_id: string,  // required - key for activate_signal
-    name: string,                     // required

-    deployments: [],                  // required - empty array (not live until activated)
-    pricing_options: [{               // required - at least one
-      pricing_option_id: string,      // required
-      model: 'cpm',                   // required - discriminator
-      cpm: number,                    // required for cpm model
-      currency: 'USD',               // required
-    }],
-    // signal_id is critical — shape depends on marketplace vs owned:
-    signal_id: {
-      source: 'catalog',             // marketplace
-      data_provider_domain: string,  // marketplace — domain for provenance verification
-      id: string,                    // unique segment ID
-    },
-    // OR for owned:
-    signal_id: {
-      source: 'agent',              // owned
-      agent_url: string,            // your agent URL
-      id: string,
-    },
-    value_type: 'binary' | 'categorical' | 'numeric',  // optional but recommended
-  }],
-  sandbox: true,  // for mock data
-})
-```
-
-**`activate_signal`** — handled by `signals.activateSignal`
-
-Look up by `signal_agent_segment_id`. Validate `pricing_option_id`. Return deployments matching the requested destinations. **Platform activation is async; agent activation is sync** — different shape per destination type, driven by the compliance contract:
-
-```
-activateSignalResponse({
-  deployments: [
-    // Platform (DSP) — ASYNC. First response returns is_live:false plus
-    // an ETA AND the planned activation_key. Buyer re-sends activate_signal
-    // to poll until is_live:true; final response adds deployed_at.
-    {
-      type: 'platform',
-      platform: string,
-      account: string | null,                              // echo from request
-      is_live: false,                                      // flips true on completion
-      estimated_activation_duration_minutes: number,       // present while activating
-      activation_key: { type: 'segment_id', segment_id: string },  // committed up front
-      deployed_at: string,                                 // ISO; present when is_live:true
-    },
-    // Agent (sales-agent) — SYNC. First response is the final response.
-    {
-      type: 'agent',
-      agent_url: string,
-      is_live: true,
-      activation_key: { type: 'key_value', key: string, value: string },
-      deployed_at: string,                                 // ISO timestamp
-    },
-  ],
-  sandbox: true,
-})
-```

-### Context and Ext Passthrough
+**Forking the marketplace adapter for a `signal-owned` agent? Delete or replace these seams** — leaning on stable symbol names rather than line numbers (the adapter evolves; greppable identifiers don't):
 
-The framework auto-echoes the request's `context` into every response — **do not set `context` yourself in your handler return values.** It's injected post-handler only when the field isn't already present.
+- Replace the multi-provider seed (the `UpstreamCohort` array seeded with multiple `data_provider_domain` / `data_provider_id` / `data_provider_name` triples) with your single-provider catalog. Every cohort gets the same `data_provider_domain` (your domain) and `data_provider_name` (your brand).
+- Strip the marketplace-discovery code paths in `getSignals` that filter `signals[]` by `(data_provider_domain, data_provider_id)` pairs — single-provider adopters either return everything or filter on signal id alone.
+- Set `signal_type: 'owned'` (not `'marketplace'`) in the `toAdcpSignal` projection. See [SHAPE-GOTCHAS §7](../SHAPE-GOTCHAS.md#7-signal_type-marketplace-vs-owned-vs-custom) for the `marketplace`/`owned`/`custom` decision table.
+- Drop the marketplace governance sub-scenario in your storyboard run if you don't model multi-provider consent flows — `signal_owned` storyboard is simpler.
 
-**Crucial:** `context` is schema-typed as an object. If your handler hand-sets a string or narrative description, validation fails with `/context: must be object` and the framework does not overwrite. Leave the field out entirely; the framework handles it.
+**Keep**: the `accounts` / `createTenantStore` block (single-tenant adapters pass one tenant entry), `agentRegistry`, the `signals` SignalsPlatform block (`getSignals`, `activateSignal`, `listAccounts`), platform vs agent activation polling logic, `forceDeploymentStatus` for compliance-test determinism.
 
-Some schemas also define an `ext` field for vendor-namespaced extensions. If your request schema includes `ext`, accept it without error. Tools with explicit `ext` support: `activate_signal`.
+For exact response shapes, error codes, and optional fields, `docs/llms.txt` is the canonical reference. The fork target stays in sync with the spec because PR #1394's three-gate contract fails CI when it drifts.

-## Setup
+- Selling ad inventory → `skills/build-seller-agent/`
+- Audience push (sync to a walled garden) → that's the `audience-sync` track in `skills/build-seller-agent/`
 
-```bash
-npm init -y
-npm install @adcp/sdk
-npm install -D typescript @types/node
-```
+## Cross-cutting rules
 
-Minimal `tsconfig.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "compilerOptions": {
-    "target": "ES2022",
-    "module": "Node16",
-    "moduleResolution": "Node16",
-    "strict": true,
-    "skipLibCheck": true,
-    "outDir": "dist"
-  }
-}
-```
+Every signals agent hits the cross-cutting rules in [`../cross-cutting.md`](../cross-cutting.md). The high-traffic ones for signals (deep-linked to the rule):
 
-`skipLibCheck: true` avoids false-positive errors from transitive `.d.ts` files (e.g., `@opentelemetry/api`).
-
-## Implementation
-
-1. Single `.ts` file — all tools in one file
-2. Use `createAdcpServerFromPlatform` with `signals: SignalsPlatform` on a typed `DecisioningPlatform` class — `get_adcp_capabilities` is auto-generated
-3. Handlers return raw data objects — response builders (`getSignalsResponse`, `activateSignalResponse`) are auto-applied
-4. Use `ctx.store` for persisting signal activations across requests (InMemoryStateStore by default)
-5. Set `sandbox: true` for mock/demo data
-6. Context passthrough is handled by the framework — no need to manually echo `args.context`

-## Idempotency
+Two signals-specific notes on top of those:
 
-AdCP v3 requires an `idempotency_key` on every mutating request — for signals agents that's `activate_signal` only (`get_signals` is read-only and exempt). Idempotency is already wired in the Implementation example above. The framework then handles:
+### Async platform activation
 
-- Missing/malformed key → `INVALID_REQUEST` (spec pattern `^[A-Za-z0-9_.:-]{16,255}$`)
-- JCS-canonicalized payload hashing with same-key-different-payload → `IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT` (no payload leaked in the error body)
-- Past-TTL replay → `IDEMPOTENCY_EXPIRED` (±60s clock-skew tolerance)
-- Cache hits replay the cached envelope with `replayed: true` injected
-- `adcp.idempotency.replay_ttl_seconds` auto-declared on `get_adcp_capabilities`
-- Only successful responses cache — a failed activation re-executes on retry
-- Atomic claim so concurrent retries with a fresh key don't all race to activate
+Platform activations (`type: 'platform'`) take minutes-to-hours to propagate to the DSP. Return `is_live: false` with `estimated_activation_duration_minutes` on first call; the buyer polls `activate_signal` again until `is_live: true`. **Commit `activation_key` up front** so the buyer can trust it across the poll window. Agent activations (`type: 'agent'`) are instant — return `is_live: true` immediately.
 
-Scoping is per-principal via `resolveSessionKey` (override with `resolveIdempotencyPrincipal` for custom scoping). `ttlSeconds` must be 3600–604800 — out of range throws at construction. If you register mutating handlers without wiring `idempotency`, the framework logs an error at server-creation time.
+`forceDeploymentStatus` in your `TestControllerStore` flips pending deployments to live for deterministic compliance tests.
 
-**Critical: probe the pool at boot (pgBackend).** `pg.Pool` is lazy — `new Pool({ connectionString })` does not validate the URL. A bad `DATABASE_URL` lets the server start, advertise `IdempotencySupported`, and then silently fail every `activate_signal` call. Wire `readinessCheck` on `serve()` so the server never accepts traffic with a broken pool:
+### Provenance — `data_provider_domain` must resolve
 
-```ts
-const store = createIdempotencyStore({ backend: pgBackend(pool), ttlSeconds: 86400 });
-pool.on('error', err => console.error('pg pool error', err)); // prevent crash on idle-client errors
-serve(createAgent, {
-  readinessCheck: () => store.probe(), // throws with a descriptive error if pool/table is broken
-});
-```
+Buyers fetch `https://{domain}/adagents.json` out-of-band to verify the provider. Use real domains even in demos, not `example.com`. For marketplace adopters, seed ≥2 different `data_provider_domain` values so the multi-provider nature is visible to the storyboard.
 
-## Protecting your agent
-
-**An AdCP agent that accepts unauthenticated requests is non-compliant** (see `security_baseline` in the universal storyboard bundle). Ask the operator: "API key, OAuth, or both?" — then wire one of these into `serve()`.
-
-```typescript
-import { serve } from '@adcp/sdk';
-import { verifyApiKey, verifyBearer, anyOf } from '@adcp/sdk/server';
-
-// API key — simplest, good for B2B integrations
-serve(createAgent, {
-  authenticate: verifyApiKey({
-    verify: async token => {
-      const row = await db.api_keys.findUnique({ where: { token } });
-      return row ? { principal: row.account_id } : null;
-    },
-  }),
-});
-
-// OAuth — best when buyers authenticate as themselves
-const AGENT_URL = 'https://my-agent.example.com/mcp';
-serve(createAgent, {
-  publicUrl: AGENT_URL, // canonical RFC 8707 audience — also served as `resource` in protected-resource metadata
-  authenticate: verifyBearer({
-    jwksUri: 'https://auth.example.com/.well-known/jwks.json',
-    issuer: 'https://auth.example.com',
-    audience: AGENT_URL, // MUST equal publicUrl
-  }),
-  protectedResource: { authorization_servers: ['https://auth.example.com'] },
-});
-
-// Both
-serve(createAgent, {
-  publicUrl: AGENT_URL,
-  authenticate: anyOf(verifyApiKey({ verify: lookupKey }), verifyBearer({ jwksUri, issuer, audience: AGENT_URL })),
-  protectedResource: { authorization_servers: [issuer] },
-});
-```
+## Specialism deltas at a glance
 
-The framework produces RFC 6750-compliant `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer` 401s on failure, and serves `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource<mountPath>` with `publicUrl` as the `resource` field so buyers get tokens bound to the right audience. The default JWT allowlist is asymmetric-only (RS*/ES*/PS\*/EdDSA) to prevent algorithm-confusion attacks.
+**`signal-marketplace`** — multi-provider directory (`signals[].data_provider_domain` varies), platform-activation polling pattern, marketplace governance sub-scenario in the storyboard exercises consent flows.
 
-## Validate Locally
+**`signal-owned`** — single `data_provider_domain` across all signals. `value_type` drives targeting semantics: `binary` (in/out), `categorical` (with `allowed_values: [...]`), `numeric` (with `min`, `max`, optional `units`). For the `signal_type` value (`marketplace`/`owned`/`custom`) decision, see [SHAPE-GOTCHAS §7](../SHAPE-GOTCHAS.md#7-signal_type-marketplace-vs-owned-vs-custom).
 
-**Full validation checklist:** [docs/guides/VALIDATE-YOUR-AGENT.md](../../docs/guides/VALIDATE-YOUR-AGENT.md). Signals-specific commands:
+## Validate locally

-# Boot

-```
-
-Common failure decoder:
-
-- `value_type` mismatch → `binary` vs. `continuous` — pick one; continuous signals return `value`, binary signals return membership
-- Missing `deployments` on signal → required even if empty `[]`
-- `activate_signal` returns sync success on a marketplace signal → marketplace activations are async; commit to an `activation_key` up-front and return `submitted`
-- Missing `coverage_percentage` or `pricing_options` → required on every signal
-
-**Keep iterating until all steps pass.** Can't bind ports? `npm run compliance:skill-matrix -- --filter signals` runs an isolated end-to-end test.

-| Using `createTaskCapableServer` + `server.tool()` | Use `createAdcpServerFromPlatform` with `signals: SignalsPlatform` on a typed `DecisioningPlatform` class    |
-| Calling `createAdcpServer` directly in new code   | Reach for `createAdcpServerFromPlatform`; `createAdcpServer` lives at `@adcp/sdk/server/legacy/v5` for mid-migration / escape-hatch only |
-| Using module-level Maps for state                 | Use `ctx.store.put/get` — framework provides `InMemoryStateStore` by default                                |
-| Manually registering `get_adcp_capabilities`      | Auto-generated by `createAdcpServerFromPlatform` from your typed `DecisioningPlatform`                      |
-| Calling response builders manually                | Handlers return raw data — `getSignalsResponse`/`activateSignalResponse` are auto-applied                   |
-| Missing `signal_agent_segment_id` on signals      | Buyers can't activate without it                                                                            |
-| Wrong `signal_id` shape                           | Marketplace: `{ source: "catalog", data_provider_domain, id }`. Owned: `{ source: "agent", agent_url, id }` |
-| Missing `data_provider` field                     | Required on every signal — your company/brand name                                                          |
-| Empty `pricing_options` array                     | Must have at least one pricing option per signal                                                            |
-| `is_live: true` in get_signals deployments        | Signals aren't live until `activate_signal` — use empty `deployments: []`                                   |
-| Activation doesn't match destination type         | If request has `type: "platform"`, deployment must be `type: "platform"`                                    |
-| `sandbox: false` on mock data                     | Buyers may treat mock data as real                                                                          |

-
-**Async platform activation.** Unlike agent activations (`type: 'agent'`), platform activations (`type: 'platform'`) are not instant — the segment takes minutes-to-hours to propagate to the DSP. Return `is_live: false` with an estimate, then the buyer polls `activate_signal` again until `is_live: true`.
-
-```typescript
-activateSignal: async (params, ctx) => {
-  const signal = signals.find((s) => s.signal_agent_segment_id === params.signal_agent_segment_id);
-  if (!signal) return adcpError('SIGNAL_NOT_FOUND', { message: `Unknown segment` });
-
-  const deployments = await Promise.all(params.destinations.map(async (dest) => {
-    if (dest.type === 'platform') {
-      // Async — check whether this destination has already been propagated
-      const existing = await ctx.store.get('deployments', `${params.signal_agent_segment_id}:${dest.platform}`);
-      if (existing?.is_live) return existing;
-      if (!existing) {
-        const pending = {
-          type: 'platform' as const,
-          platform: dest.platform,
-          account: dest.account ?? null,
-          is_live: false,
-          estimated_activation_duration_minutes: 45,
-          // Commit the activation_key up front so the buyer can trust it across the poll window:
-          activation_key: {
-            type: 'segment_id' as const,
-            segment_id: `${dest.platform}_${signal.signal_id.id}`,
-          },
-        };
-        await ctx.store.put('deployments', `${params.signal_agent_segment_id}:${dest.platform}`, pending);
-        return pending;
-      }
-      return existing;   // still propagating
-    }
-    // Agent activations are instant
-    return {
-      type: 'agent' as const,
-      agent_url: dest.agent_url,
-      is_live: true,
-      deployed_at: new Date().toISOString(),
-      activation_key: { type: 'key_value' as const, key: 'audience', value: signal.signal_id.id },
-    };
-  }));

-Use `forceDeploymentStatus` in your `TestControllerStore` (if you implement compliance_testing) to flip pending deployments to live for deterministic tests.
-
-**Provenance.** `data_provider_domain` must be resolvable — buyers fetch `https://{domain}/adagents.json` out-of-band to verify the provider. Use real domains even in demos, not `example.com`. For a marketplace demo, seed ≥2 different `data_provider_domain` values so the multi-provider nature is visible.

-
-**Value types** drive targeting semantics. The storyboard validates these fields:
+The fork-matrix gate is the three-gate contract from [`docs/guides/EXAMPLE-TEST-CONTRACT.md`](../../docs/guides/EXAMPLE-TEST-CONTRACT.md): tsc strict / storyboard zero-failures / upstream façade.
 
-```typescript
-// Binary — in/out of the segment
-{ value_type: 'binary' as const }
-
-// Categorical — enumerated tier/level
-{
-  value_type: 'categorical' as const,
-  allowed_values: ['bronze', 'silver', 'gold', 'platinum'],    // required for categorical
-}
-
-// Numeric — continuous score or count
-{
-  value_type: 'numeric' as const,
-  min: 0,
-  max: 100,
-  units: 'purchase_frequency_last_90d',    // optional but recommended
-}
-```
-
-`signal_type: 'custom'` is for first-party signals that don't fit the `owned` conceptual model (e.g. contextual signals derived from page content rather than user identity). Use `owned` by default; pick `custom` only when the user data model differs materially.
-
-Platform activations are async (same pattern as marketplace). Agent activations include `deployed_at`:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  type: 'agent' as const,
-  agent_url: dest.agent_url,
-  is_live: true,
-  deployed_at: new Date().toISOString(),
-  activation_key: { type: 'key_value' as const, key: 'audience', value: signal.signal_id.id },
-}
-```
