Interoperability
The record follows the document instead of staying inside one platform.
Agent Revision Markup is useful at boundaries.
A drafting tool can create a DOCX carrying an agent revision record. A CLM can read the same file, show the current record state, and append its own turn. A Word add-in can open the document later and understand the same parties, turns, and approvals.
The standard is the handoff. The file is the shared object.
Agent proposes, a human approves, both layers are written.
Detects the record, shows what happened, appends its own turn.
Reached with its user's consent. Answers, never edits.
Comments and tracked changes remain the human-visible layer. Agent Revision Markup is the agent-readable record beneath it. What stays out of the file - playbooks, keys, strategy, the runtime - is listed in What Is Stored.
