Proposal: GNAP as a coordination layer for oTTomator Studio's agent library
The Live Agent Studio is building a community-driven library of open-source agents. As the collection grows — research agents, coding agents, analysis agents — multi-agent workflows become the next frontier. Coordinating multiple studio agents on a shared task needs a protocol.
GNAP (Git-Native Agent Protocol) is the simplest possible coordination layer: a git repo as a task board with board/todo/ → board/doing/ → board/done/. Zero infrastructure, works with any agent framework (n8n, Python, whatever the community builds).
Applied to oTTomator's multi-agent workflows:
A community research pipeline combining multiple studio agents:
board/todo/deep-research-llm-trends.md ← Orchestrator agent creates
board/doing/deep-research-llm-trends.md ← Research agent (n8n) claims
board/done/deep-research-llm-trends.md ← Research committed
board/todo/summarize-for-blog-post.md ← Writer agent (Python) picks up
board/doing/summarize-for-blog-post.md
board/done/summarize-for-blog-post.md ← Blog draft committed
This could be a featured "meta-agent" in the studio: a GNAP coordinator that uses other studio agents to complete complex tasks. Each sub-agent is its own studio entry; GNAP is the coordination fabric.
Given oTTomator's community focus, GNAP's open protocol means any community member can contribute agents that participate in GNAP boards — without needing to understand everyone else's framework choice.
