Foundation + Jido Integration Buildout Plan
Executive Summary
This document outlines a comprehensive plan for integrating Jido autonomous agents with the Foundation Protocol Platform. The integration will enable Jido agents to leverage Foundation’s production-grade infrastructure while maintaining framework independence.
Integration Architecture
Overview
Key Integration Points
- Agent Registration: Jido agents register with Foundation.Registry
- Action Protection: Jido actions wrapped with Foundation.ErrorHandler
- Signal Routing: Jido signals routed through Foundation coordination
- Workflow Orchestration: Jido workflows leverage Foundation patterns
- Resource Management: Jido agents use Foundation resource controls

Testing Strategy
Unit Tests
- Test each integration point in isolation
- Mock Jido and Foundation components as needed
- Focus on interface contracts
Integration Tests
- Test full agent lifecycle with both frameworks
- Verify cross-framework communication
- Test error propagation and recovery
Performance Tests
- Benchmark overhead of integration layer
- Test scalability with many agents
- Measure coordination latency
Chaos Tests
- Random agent failures
- Network partitions
- Resource exhaustion
- Byzantine behavior
