ASys – A typed binary protocol for AI agents to operate servers(no SSH)

ASys (Agentic System Interface) is an experimental typed binary protocol designed for AI agents to control Linux systems directly, bypassing traditional SSH and shell interpretation. It uses fixed binary frames over a long-lived encrypted connection (Noise_IK_25519_ChaChaPoly_BLAKE2b) on TCP port 7816, providing deterministic semantics, zero shell parsing, and instruction-level capability grants. The daemon (asyd) is written in C with zero dependencies and offers a read-only core instruction set (e.g., SYS_CAPS, SYS_HELLO, SYS_STATUS, SYS_PROCS) plus signed process control instructions. The project is spec-complete and in maintenance mode as of July 2026, with a published whitepaper and design rationale.
