FROST v5.0.0 Released: Five-Dimensional Meta-Model Complete

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.

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 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.
