Governed Lucid Standard Import

Overview

Transform an approved diagram specification into a deterministic .lucid archive, create the document, verify it, and retain rollback evidence.

Prerequisites

• An approved diagram specification with data classification and owner
• A destination product and folder
• An authorized API key or OAuth user token with the exact create-document scope

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect specifications and fixtures, WebFetch for current Standard Import and operation contracts, and Write or Edit for the local archive source and receipt only.

Current Contract

• A Standard Import file is a ZIP with required document.json, at least one page, and unique item IDs.
• Creation uses the documented multipart endpoint with file, product, and optional title or parent.
• The format evolves, so a previously valid archive may render differently later.

Authentication

Use Bearer authorization with an approved API key or OAuth user token accepted by the operation. Never print the token. Validate token type, scope, destination access, and current document API version before mutation.

Instructions

1. Freeze the input specification, intended product, folder, title, ownership, and rollback plan.
2. Build document.json and any /data or /images assets with unique stable IDs and safe relative paths.
3. Validate JSON, ZIP structure, uncompressed sizes, media types, referential integrity, and deterministic ordering locally.
4. Present a mutation preview including document count, pages, shapes, lines, data rows, images, and destination.
5. After approval, submit one idempotency-controlled creation request using exact documented headers and multipart fields.
6. Capture the returned identity without tokens, then retrieve or export only as permitted to verify representative content.
7. Record source digest, created ID, owner, verification, cleanup or retention decision, and rendering variance.

Approval Boundaries

Do not upload restricted source data, overwrite an existing document, guess a folder, or create duplicates after an ambiguous timeout.

Output

Return source digest, archive validation, mutation preview, created document ID, verification, rendering variance, owner, and rollback or cleanup.

Error Handling

Condition	Response
Create response is ambiguous	Reconcile by receipt and destination before retrying.
Import rendering differs	Preserve the archive and document ID, report variance, and avoid silent repair.
Asset exceeds a documented limit	Reduce or externalize it; do not bypass validation.

Example

product=lucidchart; pages=2; shapes=14; archive-sha256=...; created=document-redacted; verification=pass; duplicates=0

Next Steps

Add the validated archive to CI fixtures and document its ownership and regeneration command.
