Open Source

Standards and tools Synapti publishes

Most of the work ships as open source first. A tool gets productized 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. Every project here is published under an open licence and maintained in the open. Everything below lives at github.com/synaptiai.

Standards

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

  • UIM Protocol

    RFC 39

    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.

    github.com/synaptiai/agent-capability-standard
  • 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.

    github.com/synaptiai/influence-tactics-protocol
  • 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

Working code. Plugins, kits, engines, and reference systems you can install or run today.

  • Synapti Marketplace

    Active 6

    Curated collection of Claude Code plugins for AI-augmented development plus advanced analytical and research tasks. Each plugin ships the agents, skills, or commands for one domain. The umbrella distribution channel for the Claude Code work published here.

  • Prompt Decorators

    Active 43

    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. Behavior before implementation, uncertainty documentation, multi-pass verification.

    github.com/synaptiai/bdsk
  • Lucid

    Active

    Open-source epistemic audit for Claude conversation history. Runs eight audit modules, most built on published AI-safety research (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.

    github.com/synaptiai/siare
  • flow-harness

    Active

    Provider-neutral coding-agent harness built on deterministic workflow graphs, durable evidence, and fail-closed sandboxed execution. For anyone running coding agents, that means a run either produces a verifiable record of what happened or it does not run at all, and swapping the underlying model provider does not change how the workflow behaves.

    github.com/synaptiai/flow-harness
  • Auracle

    Active

    A reference architecture for agentic customer support, in TypeScript on Postgres with no orchestration framework. A model classifies each message, retrieves the documents that answer it, and drafts a reply that cites them. The system acts alone only on internal helpdesk changes, and only when two separate gates pass: enough of nine classifier samples must name the same intent, and the retrieved documents must support enough of the claims in the draft, each claim checked separately. Both thresholds start from seed values and are refitted on labeled history. A policy engine that calls no model makes that call. Every reply to a customer waits for a person to approve it.

Licensing

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 it is not a formality.
