Verifiable Agentic Prompt Architecture, Made Legible
grace beginner 3 min read
What this means for you
GRACE names a category that did not have a name: Verifiable Agentic Prompt Architecture. If you build with AI agents and want to prove which prompt ran, at which version, approved by whom, GRACE is the protocol that lets you say so on the record.
The pitch
A spec, a CLI, and a documentation site that treat prompts the way aerospace treats firmware: typed, versioned, signed, and traceable from source to execution. The work is the proof.
Who it’s for
The engineer who has watched an AI agent ship something nobody can audit, and wants the same discipline they would apply to a flight-control system.
Proof points
- Five specification layers published end-to-end (SPEC-01 through SPEC-05), each with a reference implementation in the STRATT CLI
- 21 CLI commands, 7 councils, 35 agents, 43 protocol units shipping in the reference build
- Apache 2.0 open core; the documentation site is the working notebook, dated and source-cited
