Open JSON Schema for Portable AI Agent Team Definitions
May 28, 2026
Open Envelope defines a JSON Schema for describing multi-agent systems — roles, handoffs, human checkpoints — in a framework-agnostic format. The schema is hosted at schema.openenvelope.org and registered in SchemaStore, enabling .envelope.json files to work across different agent frameworks without vendor lock-in.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
builderYou can define agent team topology once in a portable .envelope.json file rather than re-implementing structure per framework, though adoption depends on ecosystem uptake.
