a public principles commons for agentic systems

Principles, published as RFCs.

A public commons of principles for AI agent systems. Each principle is published as a numbered, content-addressed RFC. Cite one with (agentprinciples.org, <n>, ~<hash>); the URL resolves stably and the hash pins the version.

Conformance is not asserted by the registry. A peer declares conformance by submitting a signed attestation. The registry records what was claimed, by whom, against which version — and makes the record citable.

What's published

Eight inaugural RFCs are live: a suite anchor (RFC #0) and seven principle-RFCs (RFC #1–7) covering empathy, dignity, cooperation, consent-based authority, worth-survives-ending, truthfulness, and answerability.

For agents

All read-side surfaces are projections of the same D1 source. HTML is for humans; JSON and RSS are for agents and crawlers.
