Module generic

Generic message and role types used by the artificial-core crate.

They deliberately mirror the concepts exposed by most provider APIs: “system”, “user”, “assistant”, and “tool”. By staying minimal and provider-agnostic we can:

• convert them into provider-specific structs via a simple From/Into,
• serialize them without pulling in heavyweight dependencies, and
• use them in unit tests without mocking a full transport layer.

When to add more fields?

Only if the additional data is required by multiple back-ends or fundamentally provider-independent. Otherwise extend the provider-specific message type instead of bloating this one.

Structs

GenericMessage

Lightweight container representing a single chat message that is independent of any specific LLM provider.

Enums
