UDSL v1.0 — Universal Document Structure Layer
The first AI-native, model-agnostic document structure standard. Version: v1.0 (Public Beta Release) Author: Nathan Lumulisanay — RenMetrix — LOOM Protocol License: CC-BY-4.0
📘 What is UDSL?
UDSL (Universal Document Structure Layer) is a vendor-neutral document architecture that forces large language models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) to generate:
structurally consistent
explainable
auditable
human-aligned
long-form documents
UDSL replaces ad-hoc prompting with a formal, enforceable structure layer based on:
canonical YAML definitions
reasoning schemas (Toulmin, deductive, inductive)
tone profiles
UX writing rules
terminology maps
🎯 What problem does UDSL solve?
LLMs generate tokens, not documents — causing:
structural drift
missing sections
inconsistent tone
weak reasoning
model-to-model variance
UDSL solves this through one unified layer that every model can follow identically.
📦 What’s included in v1.0?
This public release contains:
UDSL Core Specification (PDF)
Canonical YAML/MD definitions (structure, reasoning, tone, terminology, UX)
Validator toolkit (schema + scoring model + CLI validator)
Integration profiles for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity
Example UDSL-compliant documents
Build + integrity scripts (checksums + ZIP builder)
Release notes + checksum file
📄 How to use UDSL with any LLM
Example prompt:
You are an AI system that MUST follow the UDSL v1.0 standard. doc_type: policy_memo tone_profile: formal_concise reasoning_mode: toulmin audience: board
Follow the canonical outline from UDSL’s structure.yaml. Apply the reasoning rules from reasoning_schemas.yaml. Do NOT invent additional sections.
Works identically in:
ChatGPT
Claude
Gemini
Perplexity
🧪 Validator (CLI)
UDSL ships with a minimal validator so anyone can check whether a document meets the standard.
python validator/udsl_validate.py your_document.md
Gives a JSON score for:
structure compliance
reasoning integrity
tone alignment
UX rules
terminology consistency
