Core Concepts

Understand how ACGP works:

Essential Reading

Start with these foundational concepts:

1. What is ACGP? - Overview of the protocol and its purpose
2. How it Works - The complete governance flow explained
3. Why ACGP? - Real-world problems ACGP solves

Framework Components

Deep dive into the core framework:

• ARI Framework - Agent-Reflection-Intervention architecture
• ACL Tiers - Access control levels for different agent capabilities
• Interventions - Six intervention types (OK, Nudge, Escalate, Block, Halt, plus orthogonal Flag)
• Cognitive Traces - Transparent reasoning trails
• CTQ Evaluation - Cognitive Trace Quality assessment

Advanced Features

Explore advanced governance capabilities:

• Governance Contracts - Performance SLAs and evaluation requirements
• Tripwires - Proactive safeguards against resource abuse
• Trust System - Gradual autonomy through proven behavior
• Reflection Blueprints - Policy configuration and evaluation rules
