SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Core Kiln protocol defines the wire messaging, blocking semantics, and safety boundaries that govern how pipeline agents communicate, coordinate work, and log activity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines signal vocabulary, blocking policies, shutdown handling, and name-binding discipline for consistent agent interactions.
  • Enforces secure, auditable thoth logging and artifact archiving across milestones and chunks.
  • Use Case: Applies to all Kiln agent spawn and interaction to ensure deterministic handoffs and recoverable failures.

Quick Start

Integrate kiln-protocol by loading this SKILL.md at startup so agents adopt the standard messaging rules immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions about kiln-protocol

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize pipeline agent communication and enforce deterministic message handling?

Standardize pipeline agent communication by loading a wire protocol skill that defines messaging rules, blocking semantics, and shutdown handling. This enforces deterministic handoffs and recoverable failures across all agent spawn interactions.

How do I implement secure audit logging for agent communications in a messaging pipeline?

Implement secure audit logging for agent communications by applying a protocol that enforces thoth logging and artifact archiving across milestones and chunks. This supports secure, auditable, and scalable orchestration of pipeline activity.

What are blocking semantics in pipeline protocol and when do I need them?

Blocking semantics in pipeline protocol define the safety boundaries and coordination rules that govern how agents communicate and coordinate work. You need them to ensure deterministic behavior and recoverability during agent spawn and message handling.

How do I integrate a standard messaging protocol into agent spawn and shutdown procedures?

Integrate a standard messaging protocol into agent spawn and shutdown by loading the SKILL.md at startup. Agents immediately adopt the standard signaling formats, name-binding discipline, and blocking policies for consistent interactions.

Does the Kiln pipeline protocol support recoverable failures during agent coordination?

Yes, the Kiln pipeline protocol supports recoverable failures by explicitly documenting policy, signaling formats, and audit logging requirements. These safety boundaries ensure deterministic handoffs and secure orchestration across all pipeline agents.
