The ecosystem follows a small set of practical design rules for reliable and governable agent infrastructure.
Each repository should solve one infrastructure problem well. Modules must be usable on their own and should not require adopting the entire stack.
The stack is built from infrastructure primitives that can be combined without forcing a single runtime model or deployment shape.
Developer workflows should remain scriptable, inspectable, and easy to operate from standard tooling. Prefer simple command-line interfaces over opaque control planes.
Interfaces between modules should stay explicit, versionable, and easy to test. Prefer schemas, envelopes, and stable boundaries over tightly coupled APIs.
The ecosystem should avoid framework lock-in. Teams should be able to adopt one module at a time without replatforming their entire system.
Authorization, policy checks, and trace evidence should be first-class concerns. Safe operation should come from visible controls, not hidden runtime magic.
Agent behavior should be explainable after the fact. Traces, evaluations, and health signals are part of the infrastructure, not optional extras.
Documentation should stay concise, practical, and implementation-agnostic.
