Open Source

Standards and tools we publish

We ship most of our work as open source first and productize only when hosting it for others is the right move. The reasoning: standards beat closed verdicts, audits beat assertions, and a working community of practice beats a brochure. Everything below lives at github.com/synaptiai.

Standards

Open specifications. Anyone can implement, contest, or extend.

  • UIM Protocol

    Spec stable ★ 40

    Standardized way for AI agents to discover and execute intents against web services. Defines a unified vocabulary for intents, metadata, and execution methods, plus an ODRL-based policy layer for permissions and rate limits. The missing layer between agents and APIs.

    github.com/synaptiai/uim-protocol
  • Agent Capability Standard

    Active ★ 4

    An open specification for composable AI agent capabilities. 36 atomic capabilities across 9 cognitive layers, a type-safe workflow DSL, and grounded world modeling with trust-aware conflict resolution. Built on the Grounded Agency philosophy: agent reliability becomes structural, not optional.

  • Influence Tactics Protocol

    Active ★ 1

    Open standard for detecting and scoring manipulation in online content. 20-category framework across 5 composite factors. The substrate Decipon runs on. Anyone can implement, contest findings, or extend the framework.

  • Multi-Agent Constitutional Architecture

    RFC

    A four-layer governance architecture for multi-agent AI systems. Authority boundaries, escalation, and constitutional review applied to ensembles where naive agent autonomy produces drift, conflict, or runaway behavior.

Tools

Production code. Plugins, kits, and engines you can install today.

  • Synapti Marketplace

    Active ★ 4

    Curated collection of Claude Code plugins for AI-augmented development plus advanced analytical and research tasks. Each plugin ships specialized agents, skills, and commands for a specific domain. The umbrella distribution channel for our Claude Code work.

  • Prompt Decorators

    Active ★ 40

    A standardized framework for enhancing how LLMs process and respond to prompts through composable decorators. Ships an open standard, a Python reference implementation, and an MCP server that brings decorator behavior into Claude Desktop and other MCP-aware clients.

    github.com/synaptiai/prompt-decorators
  • BDSK

    Active

    Behavior-Driven Specification Kit. Specification-first governance for AI-assisted code generation. Eight-phase validator, lifecycle skills, and scope enforcement. Test-before-code, uncertainty documentation, multi-pass verification.

    github.com/synaptiai/bdsk
  • Lucid

    Active

    Open-source epistemic audit for Claude conversation history. Applies eight published AI-safety research frameworks (Spiral-Bench, Sharma sycophancy, SycEval, BeliefShift, ITP, MedTrust-RAG) and produces citation-validated HTML reports. For users who want to know whether their assistant is drifting toward sycophancy.

  • SIARE

    Experimental ★ 1

    Self-Improving Agentic RAG Engine. Evolves multi-agent RAG pipelines using quality-diversity optimization (Map-Elites) and topology search. Lets the pipeline find its own better shape rather than requiring humans to enumerate candidate architectures.

How we license

Standards and protocols sit under permissive licenses so adoption is not gated on negotiation. Tools and code sit under licenses that match how they get used: MIT for libraries you embed, Apache for tooling that touches your CI, CC BY-SA for written methodology like the playbooks. The license is in each repo and we mean it.
