GNAP: git-native task board for ChatDev 2.0's zero-code multi-agent orchestration

Proposal: GNAP as a coordination protocol for ChatDev's evolving agent topologies

ChatDev 2.0 (DevAll) is a compelling evolution — from a linear software company simulation to a zero-code multi-agent orchestration platform. Your MacNet work on directed acyclic graph topologies for 1000+ agents is especially interesting. As orchestration scales, the coordination layer becomes critical.

GNAP (Git-Native Agent Protocol) proposes git itself as the coordination substrate: board/todo/ → board/doing/ → board/done/. Tasks are files, transitions are commits. No message broker needed — any agent can participate via git.

Applied to ChatDev's zero-code agent system:

When a user configures a ChatDev 2.0 workflow (say, data visualization pipeline with a planner agent, coder agent, and renderer agent), GNAP could serve as the durable task handoff layer:

board/todo/viz-plan-dataset-47.md      ← Planner agent writes spec
board/doing/viz-plan-dataset-47.md     ← Coder agent claims
board/done/viz-plan-dataset-47.md      ← Code artifact committed

board/todo/render-output-dataset-47.md ← Renderer agent picks up

This is particularly compelling given ChatDev's MacNet research on DAG topologies — GNAP's git history naturally records the execution DAG of agent interactions, which could feed back into your orchestration RL work.

Also relevant to your NeurIPS 2025 paper on evolving orchestration — GNAP's audit trail would make it possible to study which agent sequences actually got committed vs planned.
