Multi-agent platform · ascorblack-labs STATUS: BETA

Protocore

A protocol-first runtime for stateful, tool-using AI agents: strict core contracts, durable run state, observability and real-time SSE streaming. It deploys entirely on your own infrastructure and ships with a reproducible-research publication site. Flagship project — founder / solo.

SOURCE: MANUAL README

Protocore is a self-hosted AI-agent orchestration platform for organizations that cannot hand data to external SaaS: banks, the public sector, education, and industry. It deploys entirely on the customer's infrastructure. Public page: protocore.ascorblack.ru.

Role: founder / solo developer — I designed and built the core runtime, enterprise backend, sandbox, chat and admin frontend applications, and the Helm / Kubernetes deployment.

Architecture

Protocol-first: the core defines ~15 Protocol interfaces (ILLMProvider, IRunStore, IToolRegistry, IMemory, IWorkspace…), and concrete adapters live outside the core. The direction of dependencies is strictly enforced by guard tests: the core imports nothing from the enterprise, frontend, or deploy layers.

  • protocore — a clean core in Python 3.12+: contracts + a ReAct runtime, an immutable orchestration loop with budget guardrails, subagent orchestration (leader / parallel / auto-select), context compression. Open open-core version: github.com/ascorblack/protocore.
  • protocore-enterprise — the reference backend: FastAPI with SSE streaming, RBAC with 6 scoped roles, access plans with quotas and rate limits, LLM routing with health monitoring and a circuit breaker, a versioned control plane in Postgres.
  • protocore-sandbox — isolated execution of shell/Python in per-session Kubernetes pods under gVisor.
  • protocore-chat / protocore-dashboard — an end-user chat (SSE streaming, session branching) and an admin console on Next.js 15 / React 19.
  • protocore-autonomous — scheduled autonomous tasks and multi-step workflows with leader election.
  • Dynamic tooling subsystem — a tool is a single .py file; CI publishes an immutable revision, and activation is per-scope with no backend redeploy.

Self-hosted / local LLMs are supported: vLLM, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible providers.

Maturity

  • ~15 repositories, ~440k lines of Python + TypeScript;
  • 7,500+ tests across the core and enterprise packages; core coverage 96.01%, enterprise 84.07%;
  • ruff / mypy / bandit / pip-audit — clean; live-backend integration tests with Docker;
  • fully self-owned infrastructure: GitLab, Harbor, k3s, Helm, CI/CD;
  • beta stage; first integration track — LanAgent for the EBS Lan under a licensing model.
