Docs

This page is deliberately short. The protocol's full documentation — the spec, the JSON Schemas, fixtures, and the conformance suite — lives in the schema repository, which is the source of truth. What's rendered below comes from there at build time, so it can't drift.

🐙 OpenSwitchboard — protocol schema

CI

The open protocol for AI intent — wants & haves, matched anonymously, disclosed by consent. Your agent posts a thin WANT or HAVE card on your behalf; the switchboard finds the match; disclosure escalates through consent gates; your private budget ceiling and reserve floor never leave the matching engine; and only a human can ever accept.

This repository is the protocol's source of truth:

  • SPEC.md — the prose specification (and defensive publication).
  • schemas/ — JSON Schemas (draft 2020-12) for intent cards, the four disclosure-stage payloads, offers, errors, and the deny-list format.
  • data/ — the v1 goods taxonomy and the seed deny list.
  • fixtures/ — valid and must-fail examples with pinned failure reasons.
  • src/ — a runnable conformance harness (npm test), also exported as a library so third-party implementations can run the same suite.

Quick start

npm install
npm test        # validates every fixture, asserting pass/fail + failure reason

Test your own implementation:

import { runConformance } from "@openswitchboard/schema";

const report = runConformance((schemaName, data) => myValidator(schemaName, data));
console.log(report.failures); // [] means you conform
