ai_collab_platform-English โ€” Policy-Bound Personas via YAML + Markdown Context (Feedback welcome) ๐Ÿš€

๐ŸŒ Overview

ai_collab_platform-English is an open-source specification for building AI personas that stay within defined context and policy boundaries.

It focuses on configuration โ€” not runtime โ€” combining Markdown for human-readable context and YAML for structured persona definitions.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Repository: ai_collab_platform-English


โš™๏ธ What it does

  • Defines personas with personality traits, tone, capabilities, and refusal policies in YAML
  • Binds each persona to specific Markdown contexts (projects, scenes, or workflows)
  • Enables transparent, reviewable, and auditable AI behavior
  • Keeps all logic declarative โ€” no hidden rules inside the codebase

This repo is focused on schemas and authoring workflow, ensuring clarity and reproducibility.


๐Ÿงฉ Why YAML + Markdown?

Layer Purpose Example
Markdown Context Narrative or project brief; human-friendly context/getting-started.md
YAML Persona Machine-readable personality & refusal schema personas/yuuri.helper.v1.yaml
Binding Contract Connects context โ†” persona with checksum inside binding.contexts[]

This approach treats configuration as a contract between humans and AI systems.

๐Ÿง  Feedback Wanted

Iโ€™d love to hear from developers, prompt engineers, and researchers:

  • How would you refine the refusal policy schema?
  • Is the binding mechanism (contextโ†”persona) clear enough?
  • Any thoughts on maintaining version safety / signature checks?
  • What tooling (linting, validation, CI) would make this smoother?

Please share your insights in comments or issues โ€” even short notes help shape the spec.


๐Ÿ”ญ Roadmap

  • Add JSON Schema validation for YAML
  • Integrate context hashing and binding verification
  • Publish contributor guide and PR checklist
  • Provide example personas (curator, helper, safety-officer)
  • Reference runtime adapters (in separate repos)

๐ŸŒฑ Background

This repository focuses on specification and authoring, not implementation.

It shares philosophical roots with SaijinSwallow, a project exploring multi-agent collaboration and โ€œsyntactic resonance,โ€

but here the goal is practical: define the language of responsibility for AI personas.


โœจ Closing line

โ€œBetween structure and soul, configuration becomes language.โ€ ๐ŸŒ™
