AGEF is an open specification for portable, tamper-evident AI-agent session evidence. It defines how a session can be represented as content-addressed objects plus merkle-linked events so evidence can be verified offline, transferred across systems, and reviewed by independent tools.

Status: v0.1.1 (pre-stable).
Bundles set agef_version to "0.1.1" in manifest.json (three-part semver; see SPEC.md Section 6).

The reference implementation is Akmon (v2.0.0 and later ship bundle export and import, with journaling in akmon-journal).

Conformance Profiles

AGEF v0.1 defines two conformance profiles:

• Bundle Profile - produces and/or consumes AGEF bundles per SPEC.md Sections 5-14.
• Substrate Profile - maintains AGEF-compatible content-addressed session journals, without necessarily emitting bundles directly.

A Substrate Profile implementation must be able to produce Bundle Profile output through an export pathway.

Repository Layout

• SPEC.md - normative AGEF specification text.
• GOVERNANCE.md - current governance model and evolution path.
• examples/ - interoperability-oriented examples and scaffolding.
