OpenSOP: File-based process execution for workflows and agents

LinkTool

OpenSOP treats processes as files containing inputs, steps, and outputs. Designed to run locally using Bash and jq, it keeps AI agents constrained to declared execution paths.

Key points

  1. Declares processes as files covering inputs, sequential steps, and outputs.
  2. Operates entirely locally without a server, relying on Bash and jq.
  3. Maintains audit logs tracking what was executed, in what order, and with what results.
  4. Keeps autonomous agents strictly within predefined boundaries.
  5. Provides reusable templates via OpenSOP Recipes.
  6. Licensed under Apache 2.0.

Why it matters

Unconstrained agentic workflows can introduce unpredictable behaviour. Treating standard procedures as plain source files allows teams to version, fork, audit, and constrain agent execution using standard developer tooling.

Analysis

By relying solely on plain files, Bash, and jq, OpenSOP prioritises simplicity and auditable execution. It addresses prompt drift and agent deviation by enforcing explicit, reviewable procedural definitions.
