Excited to use this - great use of newer Postgres features

Yes. A2A and ACP adapters would sit above DASP.

The `uncertain` mapping isn't clean. DASP treats it as terminal: the host can't prove whether effects occurred, so it must not retry. A2A's `TASK_STATE_UNSPECIFIED` is indeterminate, but not terminal. The adapter must preserve the DASP outcome in metadata and map it conservatively, likely to `FAILED`.

The protocol is transport agnostic - but I'm primarily building it to work over Web Sockets

I'm incredibly excited where Bart is taking Hologram - the client side event model fits really well with some of the Agentic applications I've been building lately

Not sure if this will surprise you - but I 100% agree with this. I went through the journey that many others did - implementing the loop, then trying to make it useful, realizing the limitations, etc.

I came to similar conclusions - what does valuable agentic software look like? It's not OpenClaw (yet)

The game theory then, in my opinion, is to focus on the knowable frontier - implement tools we can trust - and continue working and sharing that work.

I am holding onto the optimistic case - valuable use cases beyond coding agents will emerge.

Thank you!!!

I don't have a good answer - I've seen a lot of agent deployments but the space is evolving quickly and it's difficult to meaningfully discuss patterns.

This will be solved - and I hope that Jido can be a meaningful participant in that wider conversation.

My strongest opinion with Jido is that agents must be architecturally correct WITHOUT LLM's before they can be correct WITH LLM's

Jido core has zero LLM support for this reason.

There's nearing 40+ years of "Agent" research in CompSci, LLM's came along and we threw out all of it. I didn't like that so I spent time researching this history to do my best at considering it with Jido.

That said, I love LLM's - but they belong in the Jido AI package.
