Key Cross-References

  • protocol-acset: Models these protocols as attributed C-sets for compositional analysis
  • protocol-evolution-markets: Prediction markets for which standards survive/merge
  • mcp-spec-checker: Semantic diff engine for MCP spec versions
  • did-passport-interleave: Formal bridge between W3C DIDs (ANP) and passport.gay
  • aaif-governance-interleave: AAIF governance structure mapped to ASI skill graph
  • captp / goblins: Capability-secure transport connecting to OCapN ecosystem

Autopoietic Marginalia

Every use of this skill is an opportunity for worlding:

  • MEMORY (-1): Record which protocols are being adopted in practice
  • REMEMBERING (0): Connect emerging standards to existing skill capabilities
  • WORLDING (+1): Evolve integration patterns as the ecosystem converges
