Protocols

Open standards originated by the opentine community. Each protocol lives at its own domain and is maintained as a neutral spec — adoption shouldn't require buying into any one runtime.

Agent Run Protocol

ARP

A portable format for agent run trees

draft

ARP specifies how agent executions are serialized, addressed, and exchanged across frameworks. Any runtime — opentine, LangChain, CrewAI, a hand-rolled loop — can emit an ARP-conformant run. Maintained as a neutral spec so the whole ecosystem can interop without picking a winner.

Why separate sites?

Protocols only succeed when every party feels safe adopting them. Keeping specs on neutral domains — rather than under opentine.com — removes the vendor-lock-in optics that stall cross-ecosystem adoption. opentine ships reference implementations; the spec belongs to everyone.
