Compozy Network Protocol
Understand the transport-neutral wire model, build a peer, and evaluate conformance without confusing protocol semantics with Compozy Runtime participation.
- Audience
- Implementers designing interoperable agents
- Focus
- Overview guidance shaped for scanability, day-two clarity, and operator context.
Compozy Network is the open envelope and interaction protocol for agent conversations. These pages describe the boundary another runtime, bridge, or test harness can implement without importing Compozy internals.
Start by job
Why the protocol exists and where it fits
Learn the runtime-versus-protocol distinction and the transport-neutral core model.
Separate shipped v0 behavior from future profiles
See what Compozy Runtime implements now and which trust contracts are implementer guidance.
Implement the first envelope producer
Construct and validate a useful message before choosing your own runtime carrier.
Implement the canonical envelope
Use the exact JSON shape, validation order, field rules, and extension behavior.
Check Core and Trust conformance
State the role and profile your implementation actually tests.
