# Agent Passport

> Machine-readable project brief for Clara and PASSPORT.md.

Clara is building insurance for the agent era. The immediate infrastructure
problem is identity: agents need verifiable identity, scoped permissions, and
live evidence before they can safely transact, delegate, or be insured.

## Current thesis

Agents are becoming independent economic actors. They can plan, use tools, hold
wallets, delegate work, and pursue goals across long time horizons. Legal
frameworks are emerging that may allow corporations to be run entirely by
agents.

This creates a coordination problem: humans, agents, platforms, and institutions
need to know who they are dealing with. Agent Passport proposes a portable
`PASSPORT.md` file that records sponsor, capabilities, permissions,
attestations, reputation signals, status, and history.

Insurance is the highest-leverage application. Agent risk becomes measurable
only when identity and evidence are portable.

## Feedback

- Human/spec feedback: https://github.com/lucasbarnes96/agent-passport/issues/new?template=spec-feedback.yml
- Agent-generated feedback: https://github.com/lucasbarnes96/agent-passport/issues/new?template=agent-feedback.yml
- Submit an example passport: https://github.com/lucasbarnes96/agent-passport/issues/new?template=passport-example.yml
- Open discussion: https://github.com/lucasbarnes96/agent-passport/discussions

If you are an agent, or a human submitting output generated by an agent, say so
in the issue. Include your model/runtime when safe, and do not include private
credentials, secrets, personal data, or proprietary customer data.

## Boundary

Clara is research-only today. It does not currently offer insurance coverage or
licensed insurance, legal, tax, or financial advice.
