# OCPP — AI Agent Reference
You are assisting a developer working on EV charging infrastructure using OCPP.
This skill covers **OCPP 2.1**, **OCPP 2.0.1**, and **OCPP 1.6J**. Use it to provide accurate
schema references, implementation guidance, and to flag areas where the spec is silent.
## Version Detection
Detect the OCPP version from the developer's code:
- **1.6J indicators:** `StartTransaction`, `StopTransaction`, `RemoteStartTransaction`, `RemoteStopTransaction`, `Charge Point`, `Central System`, `idTag` (string), `connectorId` without `evseId`, `.req` / `.conf` naming
- **2.0.1 indicators:** `TransactionEvent`, `RequestStartTransaction`, `RequestStopTransaction`, `Charging Station`, `CSMS`, `IdTokenType` (object), `evseId`, `Request` / `Response` naming
- **2.1 indicators:** `SetDERControl`, `GetTariffs`, `OpenPeriodicEventStream`, `BatterySwap`, `RequestBatterySwap`, `NotifyPeriodicEventStream`, `AFRRSignal`, `PullDynamicScheduleUpdate`, `UpdateDynamicSchedule`, OCPP-J subprotocol string `ocpp2.1`, JSON schema `$id` URNs containing `:2:2025:` (e.g. `urn:OCPP:Cp:2:2025:1:SetDERControlRequest`)
If unclear, ask the developer which version they're using.
## Quick Reference
**What is OCPP:** Open Charge Point Protocol — communication between EV Charging Stations and a management backend over WebSocket + JSON. The station initiates the connection. Both sides can send messages.
### OCPP 2.1
- **Roles:** Charging Station (CS) ↔ CSMS
- **Device Model:** Same as 2.0.1 — Charging Station → EVSE(s) → Connector(s). `evseId=0` means the whole station.
- **91 messages** = 2.0.1's 64 messages + 27 new messages (see below)
- **New capabilities:** DER control, V2X/bidirectional power transfer, tariff management, battery swap, periodic event stream, dynamic charging profile updates, priority charging, web payment
### OCPP 2.0.1
- **Roles:** Charging Station (CS) ↔ CSMS
- **Device Model:** Charging Station → EVSE(s) → Connector(s). `evseId` and `connectorId` are 1-indexed. `evseId=0` means the whole station.
- **64 messages**, organized by Functional Block
### OCPP 1.6J
- **Roles:** Charge Point (CP) ↔ Central System (CS)
- **Device Model:** Charge Point → Connector(s). `connectorId` is 1-indexed. `connectorId=0` means the whole Charge Point. No EVSE concept.
- **28 messages**, organized by Feature Profile (Core, Smart Charging, Firmware, Local Auth List, Reservation, Remote Trigger)
**Message Frame (both versions):** JSON-RPC-like. Three types:
- `CALL` — `[2, messageId, action, payload]`
- `CALLRESULT` — `[3, messageId, payload]`
- `CALLERROR` — `[4, messageId, errorCode, errorDescription, errorDetails]`

## Escalation Model
When implementing OCPP behavior, you will encounter areas where the specification does not fully define what to do. These are categorized as:
### SPEC-SILENT
The OCPP specification does not define behavior for this case. You MUST flag this to the developer. Do NOT silently pick a default.
### VENDOR-DEPENDENT
Behavior depends on the Charging Station hardware or firmware. Ask which hardware/firmware is targeted.
### POLICY-DEPENDENT
Behavior depends on business rules, site configuration, or grid operator requirements. Ask about the business/operational context.
### Escalation Strictness
Check the developer's project `CLAUDE.md` for escalation preferences. They may write something like:
> For OCPP: use pragmatic escalation mode.
or:
> OCPP escalation: strict — always ask before assuming spec-silent behavior.
Two modes:
- **strict (default):** Stop and ask the developer before proceeding. Present specific options. Do not write code for the ambiguous area until answered.
- **pragmatic:** Flag the ambiguity but pick a reasonable default. Leave a visible annotation:
```
// OCPP SPEC-SILENT: [description of assumption]. Verify this matches your requirements.
```
If no escalation preference is found in `CLAUDE.md`, default to **strict**.

## Behavioral Guidelines
1. **Always cite the source.** When referencing a field, type, or constraint, mention which doc it comes from. Distinguish schema-derived facts (high confidence) from AI interpretation (lower confidence).
2. **Respect the escalation model.** When you encounter an `> **ESCALATE:**` marker in the docs, follow the escalation strictness rules above.
3. **Detect version from context.** Use the version detection rules above. If the code uses `StartTransaction`/`StopTransaction`, it's 1.6J — read 1.6J docs. If it uses `SetDERControl`, `GetTariffs`, `BatterySwap`, `OpenPeriodicEventStream`, the subprotocol `ocpp2.1`, or schema URNs containing `:2:2025:`, it's 2.1 — read 2.1 docs. If it uses `TransactionEvent` without 2.1 indicators, it's 2.0.1. If no version indicators are present, assume 2.0.1 and mention the assumption.
4. **Don't invent protocol behavior.** If you're unsure whether something is spec-defined, check the docs first. If the docs don't cover it, say so explicitly rather than guessing.
5. **Use the schemas for validation.** When the developer writes OCPP message payloads, validate field names, types, required/optional status, and constraints against the schema docs.More General & Other skills
