Contributing

Help build a vendor-neutral identity standard for autonomous agents. Contributions land through public pull requests — from contract text, to SDK improvements, to docs that make verifier behavior obvious.

Four tracks

Pick your contribution path

Different work, same bar: keep changes honest, reviewable, and anchored to the contract a verifier can enforce.

branch · feat/spec

Specification

01Start with the contract — Write down invariants, verifier behavior, and failure modes before proposing syntax.
02Open an RFC PR — Propose changes publicly so implementers can review early.
03Iterate in the open — Address feedback with explicit examples and compatibility notes.

branch · feat/sdk

SDKs

01Match the spec — Treat the spec as the source of truth; avoid accidental behavior drift.
02Add coverage — Strengthen tests or conformance vectors so behavior remains stable.
03Document trade-offs — If a runtime has constraints, document impact and alternatives.

branch · feat/docs

Docs

01Find a gap — Look for unclear explanations or missing implementer guidance.
02Make it runnable — Keep code samples correct and aligned with the contract.
03Optimize for readers — Prefer clarity: short sections, anchors, and explicit definitions.

branch · feat/web

Website

01Keep it honest — Avoid invented stats or guarantees. Link to canonical sources.
02Improve IA + UX — Reduce walls of text; add hierarchy, navigation, and accessibility.
03Ship a small diff — Make PRs reviewable: focused changes with clear verification steps.

Quality bar

Make reviews easy

Good PRs minimize reviewer guesswork. If reviewers can verify the change quickly, you'll merge faster.

Bar

Clarity wins

Proposals should be explicit: what changes, what stays invariant, and what verifiers must enforce.

Bar

Compatibility matters

Document backward compatibility. If you propose a breaking change, include a migration story.

Bar

Security is first-class

Threat model and authority boundaries should be reviewed any time verification or delegation rules change.

Bar

Test what you claim

If you claim conformance behavior, add coverage so it's enforced over time.
