Context Layer: A Protocol for Moving Context Across Models and Agents
sierracatalina · x · 2026-08-16
Sierra Catalina proposes the "Context Layer," a user-controlled protocol designed to move the minimum useful context across models, agents, and applications.
- Core Mechanism: Defines one boundary and six recorded steps: capture, normalize, vault, decide, bundle, and act.
- Architecture: Uses a "Receipt Rail" to ensure traceability from request to writeback, ensuring raw vault access never crosses the boundary.
- Implementation: Offers a reference starter covering request validation, deterministic policy reduction, scoped bundle issuance, and receipts, without claiming a production-ready vault or identity system.
