I built an open protocol to make AI coding agents follow senior-engineering workflows
Sabir Semerkant has developed an open protocol called The Polyglot Protocol to enhance AI coding agents' adherence to senior-engineering workflows. This protocol addresses common issues faced by AI agents, such as skipping repository discovery and ignoring project conventions. It is designed to be model-agnostic and aims to provide a practical framework for developers to adapt and improve upon.
- ▪The Polyglot Protocol is an open-source workflow protocol for AI coding agents.
- ▪It includes guidance for 22 programming languages and various validation scripts.
- ▪The protocol aims to ensure AI agents preserve existing conventions and validate their results.
