This is the first public release of the Prism Protocol — a lightweight, neutral,
metadata-only standard for pre-execution intent signaling across applications,
agents, and AI systems.

• Prism Intent Signal (v0.1)
• Minimal field definitions
• JSON envelope schema (informal)
• Python Quick Start example
• Field descriptions table

Purpose

Prism standardizes the simplest possible representation of machine intent,
enabling transparent, portable, non-invasive metadata for intelligent systems.
