@plannotator/byoa-protocol

The BYOA (Bring Your Own Agent) wire, draft 0.1, as TypeScript types and parsers. It has every shape that crosses between an app and a connector: discovery, pairing, sessions, the long-poll, commands and message events. The prose is in docs/SPEC.md.

It has no dependencies and uses no runtime API beyond the language. @plannotator/byoa-server and @plannotator/byoa-connector-core both build on it. Use it directly only if you write your own app side or your own connector.

Usage

import { WELL_KNOWN_PATH, parseDiscovery, type Discovery } from "@plannotator/byoa-protocol";

const res = await fetch(new URL(WELL_KNOWN_PATH, "https://acme.example"));
const parsed = parseDiscovery(await res.json());
if (!parsed.ok) throw new Error(parsed.reason);
const discovery: Discovery = parsed.value;

What it has

• BYOA_VERSION, WELL_KNOWN_PATH, KNOBS (the timings every party agrees on), LIMITS (the size limits), META (the _meta keys) and END_EVENTS.
• The wire types: Discovery, PairStartRequest, PairStartResponse, PairPollApproved, RegisterRequest, PollRequest, PollResponse, Command, MessageEvent, WireError and the rest.
• One parser per body: parseDiscovery, parsePairStart, parsePairStartResponse, parsePairApproved, parseRegister, parseRegisterResponse, parsePoll, parsePollResponse, parseCommand and parseEvents. Each takes unknown and returns { ok: true, value } or { ok: false, reason }. parseWireError returns the error or null, and parseJson returns undefined for bad JSON. None of them throws.
• provenanceLine, the line a connector puts before an app's turn text (SPEC 6).
