Archetype Marketplace

The Archetype Marketplace (F-20) lets you browse, pull, and inspect community-contributed archetypes.

Commands

# Browse available archetypes
nomotic archetype browse

# Pull a community archetype
nomotic archetype pull <archetype-name>

# Inspect an archetype's details
nomotic archetype info <archetype-name>

Registry

Community archetypes are hosted at github.com/nomotic-ai/archetype-registry. Each archetype is a YAML file defining:

• Archetype name and description

• Base archetype it resolves to (one of the 10 built-in priors)

• Weight overrides for specific governance dimensions

• Use case descriptions

Install Path

Community archetypes install to:

~/.nomotic/community-archetypes/<archetype-name>.yaml

YAML Format

name: insurance-claims-agent
description: Insurance claims processing and adjudication agents
resolves_to: financial-analyst
weight_overrides:
  ethical_alignment: 0.2
  stakeholder_impact: 0.15
  jurisdictional_compliance: 0.1
use_cases:
  - Claims intake and triage
  - Policy validation
  - Fraud screening

Validation

Pulled archetypes are validated with validate_archetype() before installation:

• Name format validation (lowercase, hyphens, 3–64 chars)

• Base archetype exists (resolves_to must be a known archetype)

• Weight overrides are within valid range (0.0–5.0)

• YAML structure is well-formed

Built-in Archetypes

Nomotic ships with 22 built-in archetypes (16 originals + 6 vertical aliases from F-03). These don't need to be pulled — they're available immediately. See the Archetypes Reference for the full list.
