Open Standard · Spec v1.1

The Agentic Development Protocol

An open standard for shipping production software with AI agent teams — verified, not trusted.

80 deploy rounds · 200+ closed tasks · 65 process-misses turned into rules

Why this exists

The teams failing with AI aren't using worse models. They're running the same methodology with faster typists.

Parallel agent sessions collide. State gets lost between runs. Senior engineers spend their days reverse-engineering what the AI actually did. Velocity goes up; trust goes down — and nobody can prove the system still works tomorrow. ADP is the methodology layer that closes that gap.

What ADP is

Five patterns. One standard.

Spec v1.1 open license production-derived
01

Stable roles, dynamic dispatch

Fixed agent roles with a clear contract; work is dispatched dynamically against them. The org chart is the constant, not the agent.

02

PDCA with evidence-based Check

Plan-Do-Check-Act, where Check is not a vibe. Every claim carries a receipt; the gate ACCEPTs or it doesn't.

03

The process-miss ledger

Every miss becomes a rule. Failures aren't postmortems you forget — they're committed to the ledger and become the standard the next run is held to. A depth-ratchet.

04

Token economics & deploy ladder

Cost is measured in tokens, not mandays. Work climbs a deploy ladder with a target cadence band, so spend maps to shipped, verified change.

05

Build to Rebuild

Docs and tests are the asset; code is a build artifact. If you can regenerate any module from its docs and tests, you own the system — not the AI that wrote it.

AI & Agentic Diagnostic

I map your AI-coding and agentic workflow against the failure modes I've already hit in production — including regeneration-readiness: can your team rebuild any module from docs and tests alone? You leave with a written diagnostic and an honest go/no-go.

Build & Install

Design and install governed agentic-AI systems — multi-agent orchestration, scoped RAG, LLM threat modeling — plus the ADP process layer that keeps parallel AI sessions safe. I train your team to autonomy on the way out.

Fractional Lead AI / Architect

Your senior AI architect across initiatives: weekly direction, evidence-based review on closed work, and the methodology shift embedded — mandays→tokens, governance that sticks. Your team scales without you scaling.

How it scales

From one cell to a federated org.

One team or many: the same protocol scales into federated cells with an orchestrator and versioned edges between them. This is the published design for multi-team adoption — a roadmap, not yet production-proven (n=0). We label it honestly.

The honest FAQ

Every claim has a receipt.
So do the weaknesses.

Yes — if you have a staff engineer with six free months. The protocol is open. You're not buying it; you're buying the five months of failures it's made of, the baselines to know if it's working, and a referee your own org chart can't provide.

Those are tools; this is a methodology. A coding subscription can't audit itself, price your work in tokens, or change what your organization measures and reviews. ADP governs how agent teams ship — the tools plug into it.

None. The spec is open and spreads on purpose. We sell independence, calibration, and accountability — the audit, the baselines, and the referee — not the document.

Honestly: n is small. One production system and one public benchmark. The protocol grades its own claims with an n-counter and marks what it has falsified. Read the audit and the git history before you trust a word of it.
