PPGP is currently experimental. The roadmap prioritizes evidence, portability and reduction of unnecessary protocol overhead.
Published as the current experimental line and available for public testing.
Current capabilities:
- portable repository-visible goal state;
- THINK, FREEZE, EXECUTE, HARDEN, SHIP, DISTILL lifecycle;
- RETRIEVE, ACT, VERIFY, DELTA inner loop;
- logical memory roles without mandatory filenames;
- explicit human-authority boundaries;
- compact handoff format;
- Agent Skills-compatible implementation;
- downloadable skill package;
- public specification, citation metadata and evaluation guide;
- explicit ACTIVE_GOAL hot-state recovery semantics;
- reproducible paired benchmark infrastructure.
Collect recovery failures, successful replications, overhead reports and comparative evaluations from different repositories, agents and providers.
Identify fields, steps or rules that can be removed without reducing recovery quality.
Validate that the same repository-visible state can be interpreted consistently by materially different coding agents and environments.
Refine the minimum requirements for claiming PPGP compatibility using observed implementation failures rather than theoretical completeness.
Keep installation simple across Agent Skills-compatible clients without making the portable core dependent on one vendor.
PPGP does not plan to require:
- a specific model provider;
- MCP;
- vector databases or embeddings;
- a hosted service;
- multi-agent orchestration;
- proprietary infrastructure.
These may be useful optional integrations, but they should not become prerequisites for protocol conformance.
A future 1.0 should require evidence that the core rules are sufficiently stable across multiple independent projects and environments.
No target date is assigned. Evidence, not calendar time, should determine promotion to a stable specification.
