Agentic Coordination Protocols

SkillDev tools

Comprehensive research corpus covering 40+ agentic coordination protocols and ecosystems (MCP, A2A, ANP, UCP, ACP, AGNTCY, NANDA, FIPA, WoT, etc.) with emphasis on identity architectures, governance bodies, and interoperability convergence patterns.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Agentic Coordination Protocols skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by plurigrid/asi in skills/agentic-coordination-protocols/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Research corpus on the emerging agentic protocol ecosystem, covering wire protocols, identity, commerce, governance, and convergence patterns across 40+ distinct efforts.

Key Cross-References

  • protocol-acset: Models these protocols as attributed C-sets for compositional analysis
  • protocol-evolution-markets: Prediction markets for which standards survive/merge
  • mcp-spec-checker: Semantic diff engine for MCP spec versions
  • did-passport-interleave: Formal bridge between W3C DIDs (ANP) and passport.gay
  • aaif-governance-interleave: AAIF governance structure mapped to ASI skill graph
  • captp / goblins: Capability-secure transport connecting to OCapN ecosystem

Autopoietic Marginalia

Every use of this skill is an opportunity for worlding:

  • MEMORY (-1): Record which protocols are being adopted in practice
  • REMEMBERING (0): Connect emerging standards to existing skill capabilities
  • WORLDING (+1): Evolve integration patterns as the ecosystem converges
