pic-standard

Active·★ 68·Apache-2.0·Updated 2026-10-21

PIC Standard is a lightweight, local-first protocol that forces AI agents to prove every important action before it happens, verifying intent, impact, provenance, and evidence. It acts as an action-bound verification contract that fails closed if any aspect of a high-impact tool call is found to be wrong or unjustified.
