+"""Structural protocols for TSC item classes.
+
+These protocols define the minimum interface shared across TSC resource items.
+They use ``typing.Protocol`` (structural subtyping) rather than an ABC so that
+existing classes do not need to modify their inheritance chain to satisfy the
+contract.  Any class that exposes the required attributes satisfies the
+protocol automatically -- no explicit inheritance is required or desired.

+    """Structural interface satisfied by all primary TSC resource item classes.
+
+    Every TSC item class (WorkbookItem, DatasourceItem, ViewItem, FlowItem,
+    UserItem, ProjectItem, ScheduleItem, GroupItem) exposes at minimum an ``id``
+    attribute and a ``name`` attribute.  This protocol captures that minimal
+    shared surface.
+
+    ``id`` and ``name`` are declared as plain Protocol attributes (not
+    ``@property``) so that concrete classes may implement them as either plain
+    instance attributes or read-only properties.  Protocol structural subtyping
+    means no concrete class needs to list ``BaseItem`` in its MRO -- any class
+    with matching attributes satisfies the protocol implicitly.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    ``runtime_checkable`` enables ``isinstance(obj, BaseItem)`` checks at
+    runtime, but these only verify attribute *presence*, not types or
+    signatures.  Full static checking requires a type checker such as mypy.
+
+    ``from_response`` is intentionally excluded from this protocol because the
+    four primary content classes have divergent signatures (different ``resp``
+    parameter types, extra parameters) that cannot be unified without widening
+    to ``Any``.
