# Developer Guide
This section covers how to extend Harmony by building your own `Score`, `Topology`, and `Capability` implementations.
## Writing a Score
A `Score` is a declarative description of desired state. To create your own:
1. Define a struct that represents your desired state
2. Implement the `Score<T>` trait, where `T` is your target `Topology`
3. Implement the `Interpret<T>` trait to define how the Score translates to infrastructure actions
See the [Writing a Score](./writing-a-score.md) guide for a step-by-step walkthrough.
## Writing a Topology
A `Topology` models your infrastructure environment. To create your own:
1. Define a struct that holds your infrastructure configuration
2. Implement the `Topology` trait
3. Implement the `Capability` traits your Score needs
See the [Writing a Topology](./writing-a-topology.md) guide for details.
## Adding Capabilities
`Capabilities` are the specific APIs or features a `Topology` exposes. They are the bridge between Scores and the actual infrastructure.
See the [Adding Capabilities](./adding-capabilities.md) guide for details on implementing and exposing Capabilities.
## Core Traits Reference
| Trait | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `Score<T>` | Declares desired state ("what") |
| `Topology` | Represents infrastructure ("where") |
| `Interpret<T>` | Execution logic ("how") |
| `Capability` | A feature exposed by a Topology |
See [Core Concepts](../concepts.md) for the conceptual foundation.
