Building a Portable AI Collaboration Protocol With Explicit Limits

The Artemis / Solomon’s Staff protocol v5.6.0 is a machine-readable JSON document for carrying a user-approved collaboration context between AI sessions.

The protocol describes how a host should support continuity, preserve source attribution, and distinguish hypotheses, observations, evidence, and interpretation. It also records a revisable communication profile and project context, with provenance attached to that information.

A key design choice is to state the limits directly:

The canonical source is the GitHub repository. A copy of the v5.6.0 host protocol was also committed to the GitLab mirror.

This is a preservation and continuity aid, not a claim that every AI platform will automatically adopt the protocol. Hosts need access to the file and must be capable of applying its contents in the current session.

Before reusing or redistributing any part, check the license and provenance of that specific material in the source repository.
