Runtime Kit Cookbook entries are recipes, not loose snippets. Each recipe starts with the Runtime Kit product moment, shows the package files or app surface you own, gives the public Runtime Kit boundary, and ends with a check you can use to prove it worked.

Use these when you want to copy a Runtime Kit shape and adapt the names. The examples stay on the public side of the wall: package files, package-owned content, callable slots, named data reads, action requests, and placeable surface descriptors.This is not the whole-product Bitfield Cookbook. That future cookbook can own product-level recipes across account, proof, deployment, and operations. This section is only the Runtime Kit Cookbook.The full examples live in examples/ and are indexed by cookbook-examples.json. The docs check makes sure the snippets shown here match those files exactly.

How to use the Runtime Kit Cookbook

Every recipe should answer the same questions:If a recipe does not answer those questions yet, it is not finished.
scene

Start with the screen, package, or action the user is trying to build.

files

Name package files, app surfaces, descriptors, or shell files.

contract

Name data names, targets, payloads, replies, and boundaries.

check

End with a concrete pass/fail point and common failures.

Recipes

Package set with one record Create the smallest complete package: one package, one record, one stable address, and one check.
Package-owned file Attach package-owned text, JSON, image, or other bytes without letting the package read outside itself.
Callable package slot Declare a named callable target so app code can ask for work without importing the implementation.
React surface for package data Read named data, render every state, and send an action request from one surface.
Placeable surface product loop Compose package data, targets, surface descriptors, a dumb shell, and surface bodies.

Recipe review contract

When a recipe is used to build a feature, include this instruction:
Then require this explanation back:
That answer is how you catch boundary violations before they become product architecture.

What is not here yet

Account login, credential recovery, key rotation, account portal flows, billing, support escalation, deployment, and proof workflows are not in the Runtime Kit Cookbook lane. Those belong in account, operations, proof, or a future whole-product Bitfield Cookbook.
