What’s in a Spec?

​
QWED-SPEC v1.0

The core specification defines:
  • Request/Response Format — JSON schemas for API
  • Verification Engines — Math, Logic, Code, SQL, etc.
  • QWED-Logic DSL — Grammar for logical expressions
  • Error Codes — Standardized error taxonomy
  • Versioning — Semantic versioning rules

​
QWED-Attestation v1.0

The attestation specification defines:
  • JWT Format — ES256 signed tokens
  • Claims — Standard and custom JWT claims
  • Trust Anchors — Issuer verification
  • Chain Validation — Linked attestations

​
QWED-Agent v1.0

The agent specification defines:
  • Registration — Agent identity and permissions
  • Action Verification — Pre-execution checks
  • Budget Management — Cost and rate limits
  • Trust Levels — 0-3 autonomy scale

​
Implementing QWED

To implement the QWED protocol:
  1. Parse requests per request.v1.json
  2. Route to appropriate verification engine
  3. Return responses per response.v1.json
  4. Optionally generate attestations per QWED-Attestation
