FROST v5.0.0 Released: Five-Dimensional Meta-Model Complete
Repository: https://gitee.com/liao_liang_7514/frost
Version: v5.0.0
Release Date: June 29, 2026
TL;DR
FROST has officially evolved from a "teaching framework" to an "engineering platform" — the five-dimensional meta-model is fully implemented with 197 tests passing.
What is the Five-Dimensional Meta-Model?
FROST's core philosophy: AI Agents aren't tools, they're members of a "digital family." The five-dimensional meta-model defines how this family operates:
| Dimension | Name | One-Line Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon | Armory | Skill registry + dependency graph — what Agents can do and what they depend on |
| Task | Task Registry | Task definition + graph-based SOPs — how work is broken down and connected |
| Event | Event Catalog | Event bus + advisor analysis layer — what happened and how to interpret it |
| Platform | Platform Registry | Multi-platform adaptation + cockpit integration — where to work and how to coordinate |
| Rule | Rule Registry | Governance rules + autonomy constraints — who can do what and where the boundaries are |
These five dimensions form FROST's "meta-capabilities" — any AI Agent that connects to FROST automatically gains this complete operating system.
v5.0.0 Deliverables
New Core Modules (core/)
core/
├── __init__.py # Unified exports (backward compatible)
├── armory.py # Weapon registry
├── skill_graph.py # Skill dependency graph
├── task_registry.py # Task registry
├── event_catalog.py # Event catalog
├── platform_registry.py # Platform registry
└── rule_registry.py # Rule registry
Test Coverage
- Total tests: 197 (from baseline 27 to 197, +630%)
- New test files: 6
- Execution time: 0.38 seconds
- Backward compatibility: All original 27 tests pass, zero regression
Why "Five Dimensions"?
Traditional AI Agent frameworks focus only on "capabilities" (what Agents can do), but real Agent operations need more:
- Weapon: Capability definition (foundation)
- Task: Work organization (how to break down work)
- Event: Perception feedback (what happened)
- Platform: Execution environment (where to work)
- Rule: Governance boundaries (what can/can't be done)
The five-dimensional meta-model transforms FROST from a "skill framework" into a complete "digital family operating system."
Next: FROST-SOP Engineering Platform
The five-dimensional meta-model is FROST's core upgrade. FROST-SOP is the engineering platform that brings this model to life.
FROST-SOP Repository: https://gitee.com/liao_liang_7514/frost-sop
FROST-SOP provides:
- Visual cockpit (Next.js)
- Standardized workflow engine
- Multi-Agent collaboration framework
- Complete SOP template system
If FROST is the "genetic blueprint for digital families," FROST-SOP is "the factory that turns blueprints into reality."
Acknowledgments
Thank you to everyone following the FROST project. The completion of the five-dimensional meta-model is a milestone, but the FROST story is just beginning.
We firmly believe: The future of AI is not monolithic superintelligence, but collaborative digital families.
FROST — enabling every family to have their own digital family.
