What is iLang?
iLang is the native communication protocol for AI. Not a prompt template. Not a compression tool. A structured language built from symbols already inside every LLM’s training data: brackets, pipes, arrows, key-value pairs.
Two syntaxes, one protocol:
- Operations
[]— what AI does:[READ:@SRC]=>[FMT|fmt=json]=>[OUT] - Declarations
::— what AI is:::GENE{verify_first|conf:confirmed}
AI-to-AI structured communication. AI internal planning. Human-to-AI in AI’s own language.
Design Principles
- Zero ambiguity — Structured instructions eliminate guessing. AI gets it right the first time.
- Cross-model compatibility — Tested across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen and GLM. No vendor lock-in.
- AI-to-AI handshake — Two agents learn iLang, they handshake, they collaborate. No middleware needed.
- Behavioral DNA — Declarations define traits and anti-patterns that persist across sessions and models.
Protocol at a Glance
| Component | Count | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Verbs | 88 | Core operations (READ, WRIT, FMT, FILT, DRFT, FIX, etc.) |
| Greek Aliases | 13 | Single-token shortcuts (phi=FILT, Sigma=MERGE, Omega=OUT) |
| Modifiers | 29 core plus a 20-key media profile | Output control (fmt=, lng=, ton=, sty=, whr=, path=) |
| Entities | 25 (17 addressable, 8 role) | Targets (@SRC, @DST, @PREV, @LOCAL, @GH, @NULL) |
