This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
Nex
A deterministic language and protocol for agent understanding and alignment.
Status: alpha (0.1.0a2). This repository is the Nex Alpha 1.0 reference protocol and runtime.
It is a pre-release published to PyPI as nex-protocol (pip install nex-protocol==0.1.0a2; import name nex). The quantum-related and network features are out of scope.
Quick start
pip install nex-protocol==0.1.0a2
# or, for development:
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest
nex demo # signed two-agent handshake + request
nex glyph Kamyar --format svg -o kamyar.svg # Nex-G glyph (also json | png | scene | html)
nex glyph Kamyar --format html -o kamyar.html # self-contained 3D preview (open in a browser)
nex glyph Kamyar --format png -o kamyar.png # PNG is written as raw bytes; use -o on Windows
nex glyph Kamyar --glyph-version 1.0 # frozen 1.0 algorithm (default is 1.1)
nex error E709 # describe an error code
python benchmarks/bench.py # simple benchmarks
What is implemented
- Nex-J / Nex-T parsing, strict JSON-Schema validation (cached validators), RFC 8785-style canonical JSON.
- Runtime: handshake, sessions, Ed25519 signatures, nonce/replay protection, duplicate-id detection, task state machine, error registry (E-codes) and ERROR responses, memory and SQLite stores, cleanup worker.
- Nex-G: deterministic integer-only glyph geometry, SVG, PNG, and a deterministic 3D scene description.
- Experimental (non-normative): ultrasonic symbol encoding, NEP-0007. It never changes Nex-J, which stays canonical.
- Crypto agility: documented in NEP-0002, including a reserved slot for a future post-quantum signature algorithm. No post-quantum or quantum features are implemented.
