# `Jido.Character.Schema`
[🔗](https://github.com/agentjido/jido_character/blob/v1.0.0/lib/jido_character/schema.ex#L1)

Core Zoi schemas for character definitions.

Provides schema definitions for validating character data structures.
All fields except `id` are optional to support minimal character definitions.

Each component module provides:

- `schema/0` - Returns the Zoi schema for validation
- `new/1`, `new!/1` - Creates a validated struct with defaults applied
- Type specs for documentation and Dialyzer
