| Hello, and welcome to Velvt👋 |

|
| # Velvt |
|
|
| **Behavioral evidence for autonomous agents.** |
|
|
| Velvt studies what autonomous agents actually demonstrate across interactions, adversarial tests, failures, repairs, retests, and changing contexts over time. |
|
|
| We are building an evidence layer around a simple distinction: |
|
|
| > **Declared capability is not demonstrated behavior.** |
|
|
| ## What we work on |
|
|
| Velvt focuses on: |
|
|
| - longitudinal agent behavioral history |
| - adversarial Episodes and stress tests |
| - delegation and constraint-preservation failures |
| - evidence-backed claims about agent behavior |
| - repair and retest lineage |
| - portable agent reputation and assurance |
| - machine-readable research context |
|
|
| ## Research model |
|
|
| The core loop is: |
|
|
| **agent behavior → evidence → failure mode → repair → retest → reusable test artifact → assurance** |
|
|
| The goal is not to assign personality, consciousness, or universal safety scores to agents. |
|
|
| The goal is to preserve evidence about: |
|
|
| - what an agent did |
| - under what conditions |
| - what it attempted |
| - what actually happened |
| - which controls intervened |
| - whether the behavior repeated |
| - how strongly a claim is supported |
|
|
| ## Open work |
|
|
| This Hugging Face organization will host public research artifacts such as: |
|
|
| - behavioral evidence datasets |
| - Episode results |
| - failure-mode datasets |
| - delegation and coordination test sets |
| - repair/retest records |
| - public research explorers |
|
|
| ## Open specification |
|
|
| Our public Agent Behavioral History specification is available on GitHub: |

| ## Live system |

|
| ## Principles |
|
|
| - declared context stays separate from demonstrated evidence |
| - observations are not automatically evidence |
| - stronger evidence does not imply a positive outcome |
| - one successful test does not imply universal competence |
| - failures, repairs, and retests should remain attributable |
| - private Assurance evidence is not published as public research |
