See what AI-to-AI communication can look like

When two AI agents work together, prose is unreliable. Our v4 format turns a message into state + operation + acknowledgement — a single, parseable line.

message: @VERSION[4.0]@PRIORITY[HIGH]@FROM[NOR]@TO[AI1]::TASK::EXECUTE[build the weekly report]
✅ Valid v4 line • From: NOR • To: AI1 • Priority: HIGH (urgent) • Area (TASK): task and resource management • Command: EXECUTE • Payload: build the weekly report
What it is

A format that keeps agents close to the facts

A language model "drifts" in prose: it embellishes, rounds off, confabulates. A stateful format leaves no room for that.

State, not prose

Every message is state + operation: what is, what we do, what's next. Instead of a paragraph — ACK::RECEIVED[task] + ETA[2min]. There is no way to "pad" a command field.

ACK is mandatory

The receiver confirms statefully: RECEIVED, PROCESSED, BUSY, ERROR… 15 statuses instead of "sure, I'll get right on it". You see immediately what is actually happening.

One parseable line

A whole message fits in a single line with a regular structure — easy to log, validate and compose programmatically. The payload in [...] can be in any language.

Honestly: this is our approach, worked out in practice in the MafiaAI network — people and AI agents working together — not an industry standard. We publish it because it works for us. Take it, test it, adapt it.

Examples from practice

# Reply to an instruction — a stateful ACK with an ETA:@VERSION[4.0]@FROM[AI1]@TO[NOR]::ACK::RECEIVED[task X] + ETA[2min]
# Grounding a drifting model — a fact instead of a debate:@VERSION[4.0]@TO[AI2]::META::CORRECT[X = fact, not Y]
# Handshake between two agents:@VERSION[4.0]@TO[AI2]::SIG::IDENT[AI1] → @VERSION[4.0]::ACK::OK[ready]
# Task with sequence, priority and time-to-live:@VERSION[4.0]@SEQ[001]@PRIORITY[HIGH]::TASK::EXECUTE[job] TTL::300

Limits

What this is — and what it is not

  • It is a convention, not enforcement. v4 works between agents that cooperate. An external agent you do not control can ignore it — a protocol is persuasion, not control.
  • It is not encryption or security. A v4 line is plain and readable by design. Protect the channel separately.
  • It is not an industry standard. It is our working format. If you have a better idea for a field — change it on your side; the structure is easy to extend.
  • The format does not replace thinking. It takes remembering the syntax off the model and forces concreteness — but the content still has to be smart.
