+# `@elastic/isomer-sdk`
+
+The contracts every other Isomer package is written against: what a primitive is, what a pack is, the `Composition` schema, the validator and parser, the dispatcher, the envelopes for text, Markdown, Slack, and HTML, the URL trust policy, the authoring front ends, and the pack conformance harness. `@elastic/isomer-runtime` assembles packs into complete render surfaces; hosts own data, authorization, routing, and side effects.
+
+```sh
+npm install @elastic/isomer-sdk react zod
+```
+
+A primitive is its schema, the copy an agent reads, examples, and one renderer per surface. A pack is a list of primitives.
+
+```tsx
+import { definePrimitive, definePrimitivePack, requiredString, z } from '@elastic/isomer-sdk';
+
+const kpi = definePrimitive({
+  type: 'kpi',
+  schema: z.object({ type: z.literal('kpi'), label: requiredString(), value: requiredString() }),
+  catalog: {
+    type: 'kpi',
+    purpose: 'State one measured value.',
+    useWhen: ['A single number answers the question.'],
+    avoidWhen: ['Three or more values belong together.'],
+    example: { type: 'kpi', label: 'Error rate', value: '0.4%' },
+  },
+  examples: [{ type: 'kpi', label: 'Error rate', value: '0.4%' }],
+  renderers: {
+    react: (node) => <p>{`${node.label}: ${node.value}`}</p>,
+    text: (node) => `${node.label}: ${node.value}`,
+    markdown: (node) => `**${node.label}**: ${node.value}`,
+  },
+});
+
+export const metricsPack = definePrimitivePack({ id: 'metrics', primitives: [kpi] });
+```
+
+`react`, `text`, and `markdown` are mandatory, which is what makes every composition degrade. `slack` is optional and falls back through Markdown. There is no `svg` renderer: the image surface reuses `react`. Hand the pack to `createIsomerRuntime` from `@elastic/isomer-runtime` and every surface renders it.
