Contributing to the SPID Protocol

The SPID Protocol is an open standard designed for a new, voice-native, AI-aware internet — and we can’t build it alone.

Whether you're a developer, designer, business owner, content creator, or just curious — there’s a place for you in this movement.

Ways You Can Contribute

1. Improve the Protocol or Documentation

  • Suggest edits, additions, or clarifications to the spec
  • Help document real-world use cases
  • Submit issues, feedback, or pull requests on GitHub

Start with Spec or Packet Format

2. Build With SPID

  • Create tools, templates, or viewers for Smart Packets
  • Build open-source resolvers or inbox tools
  • Prototype Smart Packet integrations for your app or assistant

Tag your project with spid-protocol and link to spidprotocol.org

3. Share Your Use Case

Have a Smart Packet use case in healthcare, coaching, education, or async sales? We'd love to highlight it.

  • Open a PR to Use Cases
  • Add a post to the /blog
  • Submit a demo link or walkthrough to our team

4. Join Community & Governance (Coming Soon)

We’re launching:

  • A working group for protocol evolution
  • Public PulseID registry + validator
  • Open calls and contributor Q&As

Join the waitlist or drop your email at spidprotocol.org to get notified.
