SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers understand walkerOS events, ensuring consistent structure, naming, and vendor-agnostic design across applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event structure mastery: learn the components of a walkerOS event (name, data, context, globals, user, nested, consent, id, timestamp) and how they relate to real-world scenarios.
  • Entity-action naming discipline: enforce the required "entity action" format for all events to preserve consistency and parseability.
  • Design for mapping and destinations: align event definitions with downstream mapping and integrations to simplify cross-vendor transformations.

Quick Start

Use this Skill to understand how to model an event like "product view" for a product page.

FAQPage Schema
What is an entity action naming convention for event tracking?▼

An entity action naming convention requires formatting events as a specific entity paired with an action, such as 'product view'. This structure preserves consistency and ensures events remain parseable across downstream integrations.

How do I design vendor-agnostic events for web analytics?▼

Designing vendor-agnostic events involves structuring event properties, context, and user data independently of specific destinations. This stateless approach ensures raw event data remains portable and simplifies cross-vendor transformations.

What components make up a walkerOS event structure?▼

A walkerOS event structure consists of name, data, context, globals, user, nested data, consent, id, and timestamp. These components map real-world user actions to structured data for analytics integrations.

How do I map stateless events to downstream destinations?▼

Mapping stateless events to destinations involves aligning your entity action definitions with downstream integrations. Structuring event properties independently allows you to simplify cross-vendor transformations without altering the core event payload.

When do I need statelessness in my event data model?▼

You need statelessness in your event data model when designing vendor-agnostic tracking architectures. Stateless events treat each interaction independently, preventing dependency on previous states and ensuring consistent data collection across integrations.
