PSPF Core

Local-first tooling for Australian Government PSPF assurance work. Core, Workshop, Shop, and Explorer share one schema and one local store so that authoring, commercial planning, and publication stay aligned.

What this extension does

PSPF Core is the local system of record. It runs entirely inside VS Code, holds the workspace in a local SQLite database at .pspf/core/pspf-core.db, and enforces a single-writer lock so only one editing session touches the data at a time.

• Owns the canonical entity and link model (Requirements, Evidence, Actions, Risks, Directions, ISM mappings, Suppliers, Contracts, Spend Items).
• Runs schema-policy validation, snapshots, backup, restore, and integrity checks.
• Exports the curated manifest-led JSON bundle that Explorer consumes. The export command prompts for the destination file.
• Applies redaction at publication time: restricted and sensitive fields are excluded from exports and snapshots.

How it fits

Core is the foundation for the rest of the PSPF ecosystem.

• Workshop is the authoring surface and depends on Core.
• Shop is the commercial planning surface and depends on Core.
• Explorer is a static web viewer that opens the JSON bundle Core produces.

Install Core first, then add Workshop and Shop as needed.

Key commands
