Building a Portable AI Collaboration Protocol With Explicit Limits

The Artemis/Solomon's Staff protocol version 5.6.0 is a machine-readable JSON document designed to facilitate user-approved collaboration between AI sessions. This protocol outlines the necessary support for continuity, source attribution, and the differentiation between hypotheses, observations, evidence, and interpretation.

In addition to these core elements, the protocol also records a communicable profile and project context, all of which have attached provenance. A crucial aspect of this design is that the protocol only comes into play when an AI host explicitly loads it for the user's session. It does not have the power to control unrelated AI systems, circumvent their policies, or bestow general permission for external actions.

While the protocol is publicly available, this availability alone does not grant an open-source license or the right to reuse every included work. Literary reconstructions are recognized as literary material and are not considered verbatim transcripts or scientific evidence.

The primary source of this protocol is the GitHub repository, and a copy of version 5.6.0 has also been archived in the GitLab mirror. It is important to note that this protocol serves as an aid for preservation and continuity, rather than a mandate for all AI platforms to adopt it. For any reuse or redistribution of the protocol's components, one must verify the specific license and provenance of that material in the source repository.
