About

Status #

As of November 2026, Agent NAS is a concept with a draft specification (v0.2). There is no reference implementation yet and no runnable conformance suite. v0.2 is a grounding revision: thirteen concepts were reduced to nine, and each states how to start small and what its honest limits are. This website is the first thing the project has published. See the roadmap for the plan.

The text and diagrams of this site and the specification are licensed under CC BY 4.0: share and adapt, as long as you give credit. The reference implementation is planned to be released under Apache-2.0.

How to cite #

Please cite the page you used, and quote its definition verbatim where you can. Every page ends with its canonical URL and a suggested citation. To cite the project as a whole:

Governance #

• Specification and implementations are separate. Many implementations are welcome; what defines “compatible” is the conformance tests and conformance.json, not a brand.
• Process. Public proposals (issues and PRs); significant changes must state their motivation, evidence and counter-examples.
• Naming. “Agent NAS” is a descriptive name for the concept; claiming a level of conformance requires publishing a conformance.json.
• Disagreement is welcome. Challenges to any thesis are valuable, especially the seven bets.

Take part #

Corrections, critique and implementation notes are welcome. Open an issue or a discussion in the project repository. This site does not publish an email address; security reports about the specification use the same channel.
