Autonomy Business Capability Specification
ABCS is an open, vendor-neutral specification for describing business capabilities so humans, agents, applications, and automation platforms can discover and execute business operations consistently.
Why ABCS
A common language for business capability
Business intent should not be tied to a particular application vendor. ABCS defines stable, application-neutral capability identities that implementations can map to any suitable system.
Agent-ready
Use predictable identifiers, contracts, relationships, and semantics that agents and automation runtimes can discover programmatically.
Implementation-independent
A single canonical capability can have multiple implementations across applications, environments, protocols, and technologies.
Canonical identity
Simple, stable capability identifiers
ABCS Draft 0.1 uses a domain.resource.operation convention. Definitions carry version metadata while canonical identifiers remain stable across compatible revisions.

Architecture
Specification first. Implementations anywhere.
Business definition
ABCS describes domains, resources, capabilities, contracts, processes, policies, events, and relationships in application-neutral terms.
Reference implementation
Sirvisetti Autonomy implements ABCS through governed Processes, Actions, Policies, Adapters, Packs, Agent and Chatbot experiences. Other implementations are welcome.
Initial domain
Procurement proof set
Draft 0.1 intentionally starts small. The initial Procurement domain validates the naming model, contracts, relationships, and implementation mapping before ABCS expands into additional business domains.
procurement.purchase-order.get
procurement.purchase-order.search
procurement.purchase-order.create
procurement.purchase-order.update
procurement.purchase-order.submit
procurement.purchase-order.approve
procurement.purchase-order.reject
procurement.purchase-order.cancel
procurement.supplier.get
procurement.supplier.search
procurement.receipt.get
procurement.receipt.create
Created and open-sourced by Sirvisetti
Open by design
ABCS is published so software vendors, partners, customers, standards communities, and agent platforms can implement the capability model independently. Draft 0.1 is deliberately small and open to practical feedback.
