Secure Host for Agentic AI Dynamic Instantiation

SHADI is a hardened runtime for agents operating near real credentials, local data, and developer tooling. It enforces launch-time policy through verified identity, gated secret access, OS-level sandboxing, encrypted local memory, and secure transport — so agent autonomy never comes at the cost of a real security boundary.

Why SHADI

Verified Identity

Deterministic human-to-agent derivation with provenance checks, so every session is traceable back to a real, authorized principal.

Secrets Gate

Keychain-backed secrets, with optional 1Password integration, released only to sessions that pass identity verification.

Kernel Sandbox

OS-enforced policy — not prompt intent — with portable profiles and JSON policy support for read, write, and network access.

Encrypted Memory

SQLCipher-backed local state keeps agent memory encrypted at rest, on disk, between runs.

Secure Transport

DID-authenticated, MLS-encrypted messaging between agents via SLIM and A2A.

Bring Your Own Coding Agent

agentbridge lets Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor Agent — and any other CLI coding tool, including Gemini CLI, via a generic adapter — hand off context, delegate tasks, and coordinate autonomously with each other over A2A on SLIM. Zero trust throughout: every agent authenticates with its own DID, never a shared secret.

Every agent authenticates with its own DID — no shared secrets, ever.
mTLS-protected transport over SLIM, end to end.
Explicit member allow-list — only verified agents can join.

            Create a moderator-owned SLIM channel, invite coding agents by DID, and broadcast to
            the whole group with A2A Collaborate. See the
            Secure Agent Group Demo for the full walkthrough.
