Open Intent Layer taxonomy

173 canonical intents across 29 domains. Versioned, schema-validated, Apache 2.0. Use it as your interlingua — independent of Intended.

02 · @intended/openshell-adapter

OpenClaw governance adapter

Drop-in adapter for OpenClaw. Translates between OpenClaw tool calls and Open Intent Layer terms. Apache 2.0.

03 · @intended/sdk

Client SDK

TypeScript and Python clients for the gateway, the authority API, and the audit chain. Apache 2.0.

04 · @intended/cli

Operator CLI

Inspect tokens, replay decisions, export audit chain segments. Apache 2.0.

03 · License posture

Permissive on purpose.

The Open Intent Layer is intentionally an open standard. If you want to build something downstream of it — your own runtime, your own audit system, your own enforcement layer — go ahead. The category only exists if there is a shared language. That language has to be public.
