account

A user’s presence on a platform — their GitHub handle, Gmail address, etc. Created by most skills. Links a person to their platform-specific identity.

Identity: [issuer, identifier] — one node per platform+handle combo. issuer = platform domain (e.g. “github.com”, “gmail.com”) identifier = platform-specific handle (e.g. “octocat”, “user@example.com”)

Prior art

External standards this shape draws from or aligns with. See Shape design principles for how prior art informs shape design.

OpenID Connect (OIDC) Core 1.0 — Our issuer/identifier maps to OIDC’s iss/sub claims. OIDC is the canonical federated-identity model for “account = (issuer, subject)”.
WebFinger (RFC 7033) — Resolves issuer+identifier pairs to profile metadata. Our identifier aligns with WebFinger’s acct: URI scheme (user@host).
vCard 4.0 (RFC 6350) — Defines displayName/email/phone/org in contact cards. We adopt vCard’s contact semantics for the human-readable fields.
