v0.1 draft across all ten specs

Open governance protocols
for the agent era.

A family of ten open JSON specifications for declaring what an AI system is, what it does, what it refuses, what evidence it carries, what regulatory class it falls under, and what happens when it fails. Five core specs · two regulated-vertical extensions (EdTech, HealthTech) · one cross-cutting incident-disclosure spec. One MCP server, one visualizer, four live properties. All AGPL-3.0.

The suite at a glance

Each spec carries a top-level <name>_version field. The unified visualizer auto-detects which spec a document is in by inspecting that field. The MCP server exposes fetch / validate / inspect / cross-spec-join tools for the seven runtime specs.
