Hello Apache Incubator community, I’m reaching out to get early feedback on whether PIC Standard might be a plausible future candidate for incubation. PIC Standard is an Apache-2.0 licensed open-source protocol for requiring verifiable provenance, intent, and evidence before AI agents perform high-impact tool actions. The aim is to provide a vendor-neutral, framework-agnostic safety layer that makes sensitive agent behavior more auditable and harder to subvert. The project currently includes a specification, reference tooling, tests, and early integrations, and is being developed in the open here:
https://github.com/madeinplutofabio/pic-standard I understand Apache’s incubation process is centered on community health and open governance rather than code alone. With that in mind, I’m not claiming the project is necessarily ready today. I’m writing to ask: * Does this sound directionally like something that could fit Apache incubation? * Does it appear complementary to existing Apache efforts, or too close to something already present? * Would any IPMC members be open to offering early guidance on what would make a project like this more incubation-ready? I’d appreciate any candid feedback. Best regards, Fabio Marcello Salvadori [2b8d1d7b-87b6-455a-9e9f-ae306c29581e]
