SIP: Agent Coordination Framework

:police_car_light: Posting this SIP proposal here for awareness and commentary.

SIP: Agent Coordination Framework: ADD SIP: Agent Coordination Framework by KBryan · Pull Request #246 · stacksgov/sips · GitHub

An idea from @KBryan - coming from the Ethereum standard ERC-8001 to make agentic cross-chain coordination a standard.

This standard should be complimentary to a separate SIP proposed by Jason inspired by the work of Kwame’s 8001 work and Coinbase’s standard ERC-8004

Agentic Coordination Framework - Abstract

  • This proposal introduces a standard primitive for secure coordination among multiple independent agents on the Stacks blockchain.
  • It defines an intent message format and protocol by which an initiator posts a desired action (the intent) and other participants submit cryptographic acceptances.
  • The intent becomes executable once all required participants have provided acceptance attestations before a specified expiry. This standard specifies the data structures, canonical status codes, Clarity contract interface, and rules needed to implement this coordination framework on Stacks.
  • It leverages off-chain signed structured data (per SIP-018) and on-chain verification using Clarity’s cryptographic functions. By standardising multi-party approval workflows, SIP-XXX enables trust-minimised coordination in use cases such as multi-sig transactions, decentralised MEV mitigation strategies, and cross-contract agent actions, all using a common protocol.

Please comment here or the SIP PR whichever more appropriate.

I’d say here for for general discussion, PR for more specific refinement suggestions to the specification.

Thanks to @KBryan for the proposal and authoring this SIP.
