abstract: >-
  NILScript is a neutral standard for letting agents act in real systems safely,
  with confirmation, and without bespoke glue per backend. It comprises NIL (the
  Network Intent Layer wire contract) and the nilscript DSL (an orchestration
  language above NIL), distributed as plain JSON schemas plus an optional Python
  reference SDK and CLI toolkit.
