Declare the read side of a Cratis Screenplay `.play` model — the `readmodel` shape, `query` with `by`/`filter`/`scoped to`/`observable`/`performer`, and `screen` at its three levels of detail, including the data/action contract that later component bindings, templates, forms, toolbars, routes and outlets consume. Use when adding or changing a query, a read-model shape, or a screen in a `.play` model, or when deciding what a caller may narrow a result by. Do not use for how events fill the read…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# The Screenplay read surface

Read [preferred syntax](../cratis-screenplay-toolchain/references/preferred-syntax.md) when writing or reviewing `.play`.

What the system can be asked, and what a user sees. The `readmodel` declares the
shape, the `query` is the entry point, and the `screen` renders it.

## Locate the model

Look first for the project's existing `.play` files: the folder holding them is the
model. A new model goes under the repository's `Source/` or `src/` folder, else in a
`Screenplay/` folder at the repository root; never under `.cratis/`, which holds
configuration and the shared AI corpus only. This is the
conventional home for consumer-owned `.play` source; do not invent another
location or search the whole repository before checking it.

`cratis ai install` manages `.cratis/ai/`, never model files. Never
hand-copy Screenplay source between repositories. Keep Markdown that explains,
questions or navigates the model in the repository's documentation; the `.play`
source is the single flow model.

## Product sources

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cratis/ai/cratis-screenplay-read-surface@sha256:3e9748309847be16

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.f9fbe79, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
