RFC Index — Lethean Ecosystem Specifications

Request For Contribution — design specifications that define how the ecosystem works. Each RFC is detailed enough that an agent can implement the described system from the document alone.

How to Read

Start with the category that matches your task. Each RFC is self-contained — you don't need to read them in order. If you're contributing code, read RFC-025 (Agent Experience) first — it defines the conventions all code must follow.

Contributing

New RFCs follow the numbering scheme RFC-NNN-TITLE.md (3-digit, uppercase title). Use RFC-011 (OSS DRM) as the reference for detail level — an agent should be able to implement the system from the document alone.

All contributions must follow RFC-025: Agent Experience.
