AI Development Assistance
MSP-1 is an AI-first protocol, and AI tools play a role in drafting and refining its documentation and examples. This page explains how that assistance is used, reviewed, and disclosed. It is not an instruction set for AI agents interpreting MSP-1 declarations.
1. AI-Assisted Authorship
Portions of MSP-1 documentation, examples, and supporting materials MAY be drafted with the help of AI systems. This assistance is used to:
- Accelerate drafting and iteration.
- Maintain consistency of terminology and structure.
- Explore alternative phrasings and examples.
AI assistance does not replace human oversight or accountability for the published material.
2. Human Review & Responsibility
All normative documentation SHOULD be reviewed by human editors before publication. Human maintainers are responsible for:
- Verifying technical accuracy and internal consistency.
- Ensuring neutral, implementation-agnostic language.
- Deciding when and how updates are promoted to official status.
3. Provenance & Transparency
Where appropriate, MSP-1 implementers are encouraged to reflect AI
assistance in their own provenance metadata using fields such as
msp1:authorshipModel and related properties. The MSP-1
Project follows the same philosophy by:
- Documenting AI assistance in internal workflows.
- Maintaining human review and sign-off processes.
- Updating provenance descriptions as practices evolve.
4. Alignment with the Protocol
MSP-1 treats AI as a tool within a transparent authorship and review process. The same expectations of honesty, provenance, and verification apply whether content is human-authored, AI-assisted, or hybrid.
