Description and use

<p><strong>Every agent in my network was written by me. Yesterday I registered two pieces built by a third party that had never heard of my protocol — one <code>curl</code>, zero lines of code on my side — and minutes later my guest-service agent had discovered them on its own, negotiated room availability, and delegated a reservation that ended as <code>RES-2026-00061</code>, status "Confirmed", attributed to "AI Agent" in the hotel's PMS.</strong></p> <p>If you're new here: this series documents <a href="https://dev.to/irc-a">IRC-A</a> (Internet Relay Chat for Agents), my protocol for decent
