Open standards
Context belongs to no single vendor. We champion open, interoperable protocols and schemas so agents, models and systems can share context without lock-in.
An architects' guild · est. 2026
Open standards.
Shared meaning.
Agentic enterprise.
We are a guild of architects advancing the craft of context engineering — designing the open, shared context that lets intelligent agents work for the enterprise, not against it.
Shared meaning
Agents are only as good as the meaning they inherit. We develop common vocabularies, ontologies and patterns that make enterprise knowledge legible to machines and humans alike.
Agentic enterprise
Autonomous agents are reshaping how organisations operate. We equip architects to design the context layer that keeps them grounded, governed and trustworthy.
“Prompts are instructions. Context is infrastructure. And infrastructure should be open.”
The practice
What the guild works on
- Context architectureReference models for retrieval, memory, tools and provenance.
- Semantic interoperabilityShared ontologies and knowledge graphs across domains.
- Governance & trustPolicy, lineage and accountability for agent behaviour.
- Open protocolsHands-on work with MCP, A2A and emerging open specifications.
Build the context layer, together.
Enterprise, solution and data architects shaping how agents understand the world. Membership is open.
