format

Wire format abstraction for LLM APIs in the TAU ecosystem.

go get github.com/tailored-agentic-units/format

Architecture

The root module exposes the Format interface, data types, and a thread-safe registry. Concrete implementations live in sub-modules with their own go.mod, keeping the root dependency-free from provider-specific SDKs.

format (root)       — Format interface, registry, data types
  openai/           — OpenAI-compatible format (sub-module)
  converse/         — AWS Bedrock Converse format (sub-module)

Sub-modules

Module	Install	Protocols
openai	go get github.com/tailored-agentic-units/format/openai	Chat, Vision, Tools, Embeddings
converse	go get github.com/tailored-agentic-units/format/converse	Chat, Vision, Tools

Registration

Sub-modules use explicit registration — no hidden init() side effects:

import (
    "github.com/tailored-agentic-units/format"
    "github.com/tailored-agentic-units/format/openai"
)

func main() {
    openai.Register()
    f, err := format.Create("openai")
}

Dependencies

• Root: github.com/tailored-agentic-units/protocol
• Sub-modules: root + protocol (no cloud SDKs)
