| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Introduction |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This document defines the requirements for developing a TypeScript SDK for the Agent Network Protocol (ANP). The SDK will enable developers to build ANP-compliant agents with support for identity authentication (did:wba), agent description (ADP), agent discovery (ADSP), and meta-protocol negotiation. The SDK will use XState v5 for state machine management to handle complex protocol flows and state transitions. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +**IMPORTANT**: All SDK code MUST be developed in a new `ts_sdk` directory at the root of the project. This directory will contain the complete TypeScript SDK implementation including source code, tests, configuration files, and documentation. |
