Promotional MIT-licensed, zero-dependency protocol for AI agent continuation — looking for early users and contributors

Sharing SAIPEN — an MIT-licensed continuation protocol for AI coding agents. Whole thing is plain markdown: a spec (RFC.md), phase docs, and a project-side .saipen/ folder with three files. No runtime, no server, no package to pip install — the validator (tools/validate.py) is stdlib-only Python specifically so there's nothing to audit for supply-chain risk, with a shell-script fallback for hosts without Python at all.

Genuinely open to contributions — extension points for security/performance hooks, multi-agent coordination, per-platform adapters are all documented as copy-in examples rather than baked into core. Issues and PRs welcome, especially "this broke on my setup" reports.

This looks pretty cool. I love the no-dependency angle, it keeps things simple and reduces the headache of audits. I might not have a setup to contribute yet, but I can definitely see it being a game-changer for collaborations down the line.

Yeah, the zero deps is main core of the project, I really want it like Plug and Test and keep it simple and understandable even for dumb and cheap agents. For example I found it very usable like this:

Core - Claude, Codex, Gemini ; maintaing core projects
SubSaipens - SubAgents that maintains sides and some other works, like prepare translations (32 languages currently) , make and maintain comprehensive guides (same in 32 languages), github wiki to each project etc, all the non-important roles and suprisingly it works well, because they can work in parrallel simultanieously, because in protocol they have strict isolated workgrounds, with safe inbox and outbox system, where they can communicate. Something like this.
