Common modules provide foundational capabilities used across all Intent Architect applications. These modules contain base implementations, helper classes, and shared infrastructure that other modules depend on.

​
Core Common Modules

Intent.Common

Base implementation and helper classes for all modules

Intent.Common.Types

Common types supported by most programming languages

Intent.Common.AI

LLM support via Semantic Kernel for AI-powered features

Intent.Output

Output management and file generation infrastructure

​
Intent.Common

Module ID: Intent.Common
Version: 3.10.0+
Description: Base Implementation and Helper classes for modules. This is the foundational module that all other modules depend on. It provides:
  • Template lifecycle hooks and execution framework
  • File builder factory extensions
  • Decorator execution infrastructure

  • Decorator pattern infrastructure
  • File system globbing support

​
Intent.Common.Types

Module ID: Intent.Common.Types
Version: 4.1.0+
Description: Provides common types supported by the majority of programming languages. Provides a standardized type system that works across different programming languages:
  • Primitive types (string, int, bool, decimal, etc.)
