The Problem

Multi-agent systems fail to coordinate. Different frameworks interpret tasks differently, causing inconsistent validation and unpredictable behavior. Natural language specs are ambiguous. JSON Schema covers types, not logic.

The Solution

AssertLang contracts define behavior once, transpile to 6 languages. All agents execute identical logic. One source of truth for multi-agent coordination.

134/134 Stdlib Tests
Production-Ready Transpiler

How It Works

Define agent contracts once in AL, transpile to any of 6 languages for framework-agnostic coordination

1

Write Agent Contract in AL

Define deterministic behavior with validation, error handling, and business logic

al
// calculator.al - Native AL Syntax
function calculate_price(base: float, tax: float) -> float {
    return base * (1.0 + tax);
}

class Calculator {
    function __init__(name: string) {
        self.name = name;
    }

    function add(x: int, y: int) -> int {
        return x + y;
    }

    function multiply(x: int, y: int) -> int {
        return x * y;
    }
}

Transpile for Each Framework

Generate idiomatic code for Python (CrewAI), JavaScript (LangGraph), Go, Rust, or C#

bash
# Compile to Python
asl build calculator.al --lang python -o calculator.py

# Or compile to Go
asl build calculator.al --lang go -o calculator.go

# Or Rust, Node.js, C#
asl build calculator.al --lang rust -o calculator.rs

# Check version
asl --version  # Shows: AssertLang 0.0.3
✅ Generated calculator.py
✅ All functions and classes translated
✅ Type annotations preserved
✅ Ready to run

Agents Execute Identical Logic

All agents implement the same contract - guaranteed coordination across frameworks

bash
# Run the generated Python code
python calculator.py

# Or run the Go version
go run calculator.go

# Works across all 6 languages!

  • PyPI Package: Runtime library via pip install

v0.1.6: Auto-Import Runtime Modules

🎯 Zero Manual Intervention

Intelligent detection and importing of runtime dependencies

  • Smart Detection: Scans IR for math.*, str.*, list.* usage
  • Auto-Import: Adds al_math as math imports only when needed
  • Clean Output: No unnecessary imports - only includes what's used

✅ Zero NameError exceptions - Professional code generation!

v0.1.6: Auto-Import in Action

v0.1.5 - NameError ❌
# Generated code missing import
from assertlang.runtime import Ok, Error, Result

def calculate(x):
  return math.round(x)

# NameError: math not defined ❌
v0.1.6 - Auto-Imported ✅
# Intelligently detects and imports
from assertlang.runtime import Ok, Error, Result, al_math as math

def calculate(x):
  return math.round(x)

# Works perfectly! ✅

Why AssertLang?

Deterministic coordination across frameworks and languages

100% Deterministic Coordination

Write contracts once, execute identically across 6 languages

Proven: 134/134 tests passing, 100% behavioral matching

Framework-Agnostic

Works with any multi-agent framework

CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, LangChain, and custom frameworks

Runtime Enforcement

Contracts execute at runtime, not just documentation

Pre/post conditions enforced. Validation errors caught automatically.

Advantage: Fast deterministic transpilation for multi-agent coordination

Performance Profile: AssertLang prioritizes deterministic output and code quality. Typical compile times under 100ms for standard contracts. Memory efficient (sub-20MB typical). Performance scales with contract complexity and target language. Benchmarks measured with /usr/bin/time -l, averaged over multiple runs.

Why This Exists

I'm not a software engineer. I'm a broadcast tech from Hamilton, Ontario who had an idea.

David Hustler

The Problem: Building multi-agent systems, I kept hitting coordination failures. CrewAI agents validated one way, LangGraph agents differently. Same task, inconsistent behavior.

The Solution: A contract system that transpiles to 6 languages with guaranteed identical execution. 134/134 tests passing. Proven deterministic coordination.

The Result: 350K+ LOC, production-ready transpiler, open-source examples. AssertLang is early, but it works.

Try it. Break it. Tell me what's missing.
