The Kindred Architecture
Prove every action.
Attest every outcome.
A four-layer execution stack designed from the ground up to guarantee that your autonomous agents act predictably, securely, and with complete forensic auditability.
Agentic Proxy Register
Certification Layer
Every agent is issued a verifiable identity, scoped permissions, and cryptographic accountability before it can act. The Proxy Register mints Digital IDs and manages execution leases correlating with the Adaptive Layer's tenant rules.
Adaptive Layer
Execution Control
The central control plane and policy registry. It manages security policy rules, tenant configurations, and records a serialized cryptographic ledger of all execution events using namespaced audit streams.
QuorumOS
Coordination Layer
The distributed runtime coordinating consensus and state transitions across heterogeneous agent swarms. No single agent acts alone in critical flows without quorum validation.
Digital Nervous System
Operational Backbone
The visual runtime execution, replay, and debugging engine. It manages the runtime state machine, providing operator settings panels, step-by-step debuggers, and strict pause/resume checkpoint semantics.
Boundary Protection
KAIF: The Autonomous Identity Framework
To solve the identity traversal gap, KAIF federates authority for autonomous actors. When an agent crosses enterprise security boundaries, it does so with dynamic, short-lived, cryptographically signed credentials that prove authorization without exposing root secrets.
- Boundary authorization adapter contracts
- Secure token lease & rotation engine
Immutable Evidence
Dual-Custody Audit
1. Local Ledger First
Every state change and handoff is recorded locally first in the .kindred/audit/ ledger. You own the cryptographic evidence, completely independent of our cloud availability.
2. Adaptive Layer Stream
Events are mirrored to the namespaced stream in the control plane for cross-repository correlation, giving you a global view of all agentic workflows.
3. Spinback Verification
Both records share the identical UUID4 event ID and SHA-256 command hash. This proves irrefutably that the local record and the control plane record describe the exact same event without alteration.
