agent-infrastructure

agent-infrastructure is a documentation-only repository for a collection of small open-source infrastructure modules used to build reliable and governable agent systems.

The goal is to describe how the modules fit together, what each one is responsible for, and which design principles guide the ecosystem. This repository intentionally contains no runtime code.

Modules

• Agent Contracts: task delegation contracts between agents, services, and operators.
• CapToken: capability tokens for scoped authorization of tools, resources, and workflows.
• GuardMesh: policy enforcement layer for bounded agent actions.
• TraceForge: portable execution traces for observability, audit, and replay.
• SkillPulse: skill health signals, drift detection, and recovery workflows.
• AgentEvalOps: evaluation and failure-mode testing for agent systems.

Architecture

The stack is designed as a set of composable modules:

1. Agent Contracts defines interface and delegation boundaries.
2. CapToken scopes what an agent is allowed to do.
3. GuardMesh enforces policy before actions execute.
4. TraceForge records execution events and governance evidence.
5. SkillPulse monitors capability health and regressions.
6. AgentEvalOps validates behavior under test and failure conditions.

Repository Map

This repository contains top-level documentation for the module ecosystem.

Module	Purpose
Agent Contracts	Structured task delegation
CapToken	Capability authorization tokens
GuardMesh	Runtime policy enforcement
TraceForge	Execution traces and provenance
SkillPulse	Agent skill reliability
AgentEvalOps	Failure-mode evaluation

Repository contents:

• docs/overview.md: ecosystem scope and intended audience.
• docs/architecture.md: stack layout and lifecycle.
• docs/design-principles.md: guiding design rules.
• docs/modules.md: concise module reference table.
• diagrams/agent-stack-overview.svg: rendered architecture diagram.

Design Philosophy

• Keep modules small, explicit, and independently adoptable.
• Prefer contracts, policies, and traces over hidden framework behavior.
• Design for governance, auditability, and safe delegation from day one.
• Optimize for developer clarity with concise specs and focused interfaces.

Status

This repository is a lightweight documentation hub for an evolving ecosystem of open-source agent infrastructure modules.
