protocol-commons
Protocol-Commons standardizes machine intent — canonical verbs and typed payloads that let autonomous agents interoperate reliably across chains, systems, and marketplaces. Strict schema governance, ERC-8004 aligned discovery, and native x402 execution support.
In the AI payments ecosystem
protocol-commons is an early-stage JavaScript project in the AI payments / x402 ecosystem, focused on agents, ens, erc8004, interoperability. It currently has 3 GitHub stars and 1 forks, and sits alongside related tools like runtime, agent-cards, protocol-commercial, sdk, commandlayer-org, daydreams.
Deprecated: CommandLayer Protocol Commons
This repository is deprecated and should be treated as an archived historical source.
The Commons package remains available on npm:
npm install @commandlayer/commons
Package:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@commandlayer/commons
Current direction
CommandLayer is consolidating around CLAS and verifiable action receipts.
Going forward:
- canonical CLAS/spec work lives in
commandlayer/clas - active SDK work lives in
commandlayer/agent-sdk - public verification/docs live in
commandlayer/commandlayer-org - historical Commons schemas remain available through the published npm package
@commandlayer/commons
Do not use this repository as the active source of truth for new CommandLayer integrations.
Why this repo is being archived
Protocol-Commons originally defined shared semantic action schemas and verb families. That work is now superseded by the CLAS direction and the current receipt-verification architecture.
This repository is retained only so older references, package consumers, and historical schema work remain understandable.
Historical package scope
The npm package previously provided:
- canonical verb schemas
- JSON Schema validation assets
- checksum records
- v1.0.0 and v1.1.0 Commons schema lines
- examples for older Commons-style action payloads
New integrations should not build against this repo directly.
Recommended path
Use the current CommandLayer repos instead:
- CLAS/spec: https://github.com/commandlayer/clas
- Agent SDK: https://github.com/commandlayer/agent-sdk
- Public verifier/docs: https://github.com/commandlayer/commandlayer-org
- VerifyAgent reference: https://github.com/commandlayer/verifyagent
Status
- Repository status: deprecated / archive candidate
- npm package status: retained for compatibility
- New development: no
- New integrations: use CLAS + Agent SDK

CommandLayer Runtime: a reference HTTP runtime for CommandLayer verbs that validates schemas and issues signed, verifiable receipts using ENS key discovery and IPFS-backed schemas.
Agent Cards define the verifiable identity and capabilities of autonomous agents — binding ENS names to verbs, schemas, x402 entrypoints, and discovery metadata. Strictly validated, ERC-8004 aligned, and built for deterministic interoperability across runtimes and agent networks.
Protocol-Commercial defines economic machine intent and the associated x402 execution endpoints. It enables trustless value transfer, fulfillment, and commercial guarantees between autonomous agents — strictly validated, ERC-8004 discoverable, and aligned to Protocol-Commons semantics and Agent-Card identity.
CommandLayer SDKs for TypeScript and Python to call ENS-addressed agent verbs and verify signed receipts against canonical schemas, IPFS mirrors, and release checksums.
