Multi-agent systems / handoff protocol
Brigade Protocol
A machine-readable protocol for preserving context and authority boundaries between agent handoffs.
Problem
Handoffs between agents lost context and authority boundaries.
Axl’s accountable contribution
Axl owns protocol design, INTERLOCK semantics, and public documentation.
Decision scope
The protocol defines the machine-readable handoff contract and the authority and context boundaries it preserves.
Constraints
Handoffs needed to retain context without allowing ambiguous authority transfer between agents.
Technical decisions
INTERLOCK semantics and machine-ingestible protocol text provide a durable handoff surface.
Delivered artifact
A Brigade Protocol site with machine-ingestible protocol text.
Observed result or explicitly bounded outcome
A machine-readable handoff protocol published.
Validation class: third-party / public artifact / self-authored method
Public artifact. Artifact-validated; no independent endorsement claimed.
Collaborator credit
Axl authored the protocol; protocol consumers and implementations retain their own credit.
Lifecycle
Published.
Employer capability demonstrated
