Open-source local-first passports for tracking model forks and agent wrappers

Hi everyone,

I’m testing feedback for Forkit Dev Core, an open-source public alpha for local-first AI model and agent passports.

The idea is to keep a portable record of a model or agent: identity, provenance, artifact hashes, basic lineage, and verification metadata. The core works locally and does not require a hosted service.

Current focus:

- create model and agent passport JSON files

- generate deterministic IDs

- validate passports locally

- keep basic lineage and provenance fields

- validate passport files in GitHub CI

I’m curious whether local model builders would find this useful for tracking fine-tunes, forks, quantized versions, and agent wrappers.

Question:

For local models, what metadata would be worth tracking without making this feel like unnecessary bureaucracy?
