ProtocolCity-BluePrint

Pre-release (0.1.x). Installable suite for coordinating AI agents with plain files you own — WorkLane (work orders) · WorkForce (agents) · this BluePrint (map + CLI). Expect sharp edges; file issues.

A map of the AI instructions already living in your project folders.
It does not replace Claude, Cursor, or Grok — it shows what those agents are supposed to follow, who is hired, and which work orders are still open.

Every agent has instructions. Every job is a file. Every work order closes the loop.

Install the suite (recommended)

macOS (Homebrew)

brew install protocolcity/tap/blueprint
# Pick *your* folder name (Developer, notes, work, … — no forced default).
blueprint setup ~/my-workspace
blueprint serve --root ~/my-workspace --with-engines
# → http://127.0.0.1:8801/  (Overview; Map digs in at /workspace-map)

That installs the BluePrint suite (CLI + Map) and pulls WorkLane + WorkForce from PyPI. (protocolcity/tap/protocolcity is a compat formula name for the same bottle; protocolcity CLI remains an alias of blueprint.) Product source repos stay separate; install does not require cloning them.

Windows (pip · Python 3.11+)

py -3.11 -m pip install protocolcity protocolcity-worklane protocolcity-workforce
protocolcity setup $env:USERPROFILE\ProtocolCity --create --yes
protocolcity serve --root $env:USERPROFILE\ProtocolCity --with-engines
# → http://127.0.0.1:8801/

If Scripts is not on PATH: py -3.11 -m protocolcity … (same commands). Full first-run notes: docs/FIRST_RUN.md.

Any OS (pip)

pip install protocolcity protocolcity-worklane protocolcity-workforce

What to clone vs install

You want… Do this
Run the suite (Overview · Map · work orders · agents on the map) macOS: Homebrew · Windows/Linux: pip (three packages above)
Read the papers (Charter, templates, example) Browse/clone ProtocolCity-BluePrint — docs only
Contribute to an engine Clone WorkLane / WorkForce source repos (developer path)

Cloning BluePrint alone does not install a runnable suite.

What you see

Open the suite → Overview (system summary). Click Map (http://127.0.0.1:8801/workspace-map) to dig in — then click a project folder to see:

Layer What it is Typical files
You Human decisions and gates (you, in the loop)
Workspace Rules for the whole folder root AGENTS.md, boundaries
Project One app or repo under the workspace project AGENTS.md
Agent (worker/hand) Hired AI that claims work orders workers/<id>/CONTRACT.md · roster kind=lane
This run Shift brief for that agent workers/<id>/prompt.md
Job Scheduled workspace duty (Map diamond) roster kind=job · seed-ops
Work orders Tracked tickets until done WorkLane desk

Nobody has to learn a “city” metaphor to run the system. Optional deeper docs (Charter, Manifesto) keep the brand story for people who want it.

Why

Agents are brilliant and unaccountable. Every vendor wants orchestration to live inside its own runtime, in its own config format. Decisions evaporate in chat windows. BluePrint is the opposite bet: coordination as files you can read, work orders you can audit, and agents that sign what they do — owned by you.

WorkLane tracks work orders. WorkForce runs hired agents.
BluePrint is the map that ties the folder, the instructions, and the loop together.

What's inside

Papers live on GitHub (links work from PyPI too):

Document What it is
CHARTER.md Full protocol spec (advanced / optional depth)
MANIFESTO.md Why we built this — brand voice
FOUNDING.md Paper path: templates + compliance (no install)
RUNNING.md Day-to-day loops after setup
templates/ Fill-in-the-blank instruction files
example/ Minimal workspace (one root, one project, one agent)

The short version

A workspace is one root folder. Each project is a subfolder with instructions agents must follow (AGENTS.md). Work moves as work orders. Your agents are any vendor, each with a registered identity that signs what it does. Boundaries say what agents may not touch.

A project is set up well when three things are true:

  1. Instructions exist — an AGENTS.md at its root.
  2. Work is tracked — a work order with clear scope.
  3. Agents sign — every action carries a registered identity.

Start with one project, one agent, one instruction file — FOUNDING.md walks the paper path; the install path above opens the map so you can see the same structure visually.

Report a bug

Local only until you paste. No telemetry.

You alone

blueprint feedback --write
# or: protocolcity feedback ~/my-workspace --open

Paste into ProtocolCity-BluePrint issues.

With any AI host (Cursor / Claude / Grok)

  1. Run blueprint feedback --agent-prompt and paste that ritual into chat
    (or: “File a BluePrint beta bug — run blueprint feedback and fill symptoms”).
  2. Agent gathers versions/doctor/logs, redacts secrets, fills Summary/Expected/Actual.
  3. You paste the markdown into the issues URL. Agents do not post without you.

Rough routing:

Symptom Board
Overview / Map / setup / serve shell BluePrint issues
Work orders / tk / desk stores WorkLane issues
Hire / roster / agent daemon WorkForce issues
Formula only homebrew-tap

Status

v0.1.x pre-release. Install path (Homebrew / PyPI) is live. Suite UX is map-first and still sharpening. Expect the shell and ship words to move quickly as first-user feedback lands.
