Human-Agent Collaboration Protocol (HACP)
A framework for collaborative work between humans and intelligent agents. Modular, open, and built for trust.
Core Principles
Hybrid Work as Default
Work is shared across humans and agents based on strengths.
Roles as Functions, Not Titles
Dynamic roles adapt to the loop, not the org chart.
Flow Over Sprints
Loops emerge responsively via real-world signals.
Transparency by Design
Every action is logged and attributable.
Cognitive Load Awareness
Participants define how much attention they can give.
Trustworthy Autonomy
Agents must explain their actions to gain trust.
Roles
Initiator (Human)
Starts new loops from insight or needs.
Decider (Human)
Owns scope-specific decisions.
Synthesizer (Human)
Integrates inputs into meaning.
Validator (Human)
Reviews quality or value of outputs.
Narrator (Human)
Explains process and context.
Signal Scanner (Agent)
Detects when loops need to begin.
Orchestrator (Agent)
Coordinates human and agent roles.
Implementer (Agent)
Executes routines and tasks.
Explainer (Agent)
Justifies decisions and reasoning.
