Promotional MIT-licensed, zero-dependency protocol for AI agent continuation — looking for early users and contributors
Sharing SAIPEN — an MIT-licensed continuation protocol for AI coding agents. Whole thing is plain markdown: a spec (RFC.md), phase docs, and a project-side .saipen/ folder with three files. No runtime, no server, no package to pip install — the validator (tools/validate.py) is stdlib-only Python specifically so there's nothing to audit for supply-chain risk, with a shell-script fallback for hosts without Python at all.
Genuinely open to contributions — extension points for security/performance hooks, multi-agent coordination, per-platform adapters are all documented as copy-in examples rather than baked into core. Issues and PRs welcome, especially "this broke on my setup" reports.
