ACPP

Give agents an identity, not just an API key.

Agent Communication per Protocol — identity, trust, signaling, and authorization infrastructure for AI agents.

• Domain: acpp.ai (planned)
• Spec vision: PRODUCT.md
• Spendable backlog: docs/OPEN_PROGRAM.md
• Wedge: docs/WEDGE.md

What this is

ACPP is an identity and authorization layer for agents: verifiable identities, structured signals, deterministic policy, receipts, and connectivity (first connector: GitHub).

It is not a chatbot, MCP marketplace, or agent orchestration platform.

Status

Phase 0 / early Phase 1 scaffold. Community / self-host / open protocol first. No paid hosted pricing UI until an explicit product decision.
