+# NPS Python SDK (`nps-sdk`)
+
+Python client library for the **Neural Protocol Suite (NPS)** — a complete internet protocol stack designed for AI agents and models.
+
+PyPI package: `nps-sdk` | Python namespace: `nps_sdk`
+
+## Status
+
+**v0.1.0 — Phase 1 initial release (Alpha)**
+
+Covers NCP + NWP frames and async client, NIP identity management.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.11+
+- Dependencies: `msgpack`, `httpx`, `cryptography`
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install nps-sdk
+```
+
+For development:
+
+```bash
+pip install "nps-sdk[dev]"
+```
+
+## Modules
+
+| Module | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `nps_sdk.core` | Frame header, codec (Tier-1 JSON / Tier-2 MsgPack), anchor cache, exceptions |
+| `nps_sdk.ncp`  | NCP frames: AnchorFrame, DiffFrame, StreamFrame, CapsFrame, ErrorFrame |
+| `nps_sdk.nwp`  | NWP frames: QueryFrame, ActionFrame; async `NwpClient` |
+| `nps_sdk.nip`  | NIP frames: IdentFrame, RevokeFrame; `NipIdentity` (Ed25519 key management) |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Encoding / Decoding NCP Frames
+
+```python
+from nps_sdk.core.codec import NpsFrameCodec
+from nps_sdk.core.registry import FrameRegistry
+from nps_sdk.ncp.frames import AnchorFrame, FrameSchema, SchemaField
+
+registry = FrameRegistry.create_default()
+codec    = NpsFrameCodec(registry)
+
+schema = FrameSchema(fields=(
+    SchemaField(name="id",    type="uint64"),
+    SchemaField(name="price", type="decimal", semantic="commerce.price.usd"),
+))
+frame  = AnchorFrame(anchor_id="sha256:...", schema=schema)
+
+wire   = codec.encode(frame)           # bytes — Tier-2 MsgPack by default
+result = codec.decode(wire)            # → AnchorFrame
+```
+
+### Anchor Cache (Schema Deduplication)
+
+```python
+from nps_sdk.core.cache import AnchorFrameCache
+
+cache     = AnchorFrameCache()
+anchor_id = cache.set(frame)           # stores; returns canonical sha256 anchor_id
+frame     = cache.get_required(anchor_id)
+```
+
+### Querying a Memory Node (async)
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from nps_sdk.nwp import NwpClient, QueryFrame
+
+async def main():
+    async with NwpClient("https://node.example.com") as client:
+        caps = await client.query(
+            QueryFrame(anchor_ref="sha256:...", limit=50)
+        )
+        print(caps.count, caps.data)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+### Invoking an Action Node (async)
+
+```python
+from nps_sdk.nwp import NwpClient, ActionFrame
+
+async with NwpClient("https://node.example.com") as client:
+    result = await client.invoke(
+        ActionFrame(action_id="orders.create", params={"sku": "X-101", "qty": 1})
+    )
+```
+
+### NIP Identity Management
+
+```python
+from nps_sdk.nip.identity import NipIdentity
+
+# Generate and save an encrypted Ed25519 keypair
+identity = NipIdentity.generate("ca.key", passphrase="my-secret")
+
+# Load from file
+identity = NipIdentity()
+identity.load("ca.key", passphrase="my-secret")
+
+# Sign a NIP frame payload (canonical JSON, no 'signature' field)
+sig = identity.sign(ident_frame.unsigned_dict())
+
+# Verify
+ok = NipIdentity.verify_signature(identity.pub_key_string, payload, sig)
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+nps_sdk/
+├── core/          # Wire primitives (FrameHeader, codec, cache, exceptions)
+├── ncp/           # NCP frames (0x01–0x0F)
+├── nwp/           # NWP frames (0x10–0x1F) + async HTTP client
+└── nip/           # NIP frames (0x20–0x2F) + Ed25519 identity
+```
+
+### Frame Encoding Tiers
+
+| Tier | Value | Description |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| Tier-1 JSON    | `0x00` | UTF-8 JSON. Development / compatibility. |
+| Tier-2 MsgPack | `0x01` | MessagePack binary. ~60% smaller. **Production default.** |
+
+### NWP HTTP Overlay Mode
+
+`NwpClient` communicates via HTTP with `Content-Type: application/x-nps-frame`.
+Sub-paths per operation:
+
+| Operation | Path | Request Frame | Response Frame |
+|-----------|------|---------------|----------------|
+| Schema anchor | `POST /anchor` | AnchorFrame | 204 |
+| Structured query | `POST /query` | QueryFrame | CapsFrame |
+| Streaming query | `POST /stream` | QueryFrame | StreamFrame chunks |
+| Action invocation | `POST /invoke` | ActionFrame | raw result or AsyncActionResponse |
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+pytest                 # all tests + coverage report
+pytest -k test_nip     # NIP tests only
+```
+
+Coverage target: ≥ 90 %.

+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or agreed
+      to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each Contributor
+      provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES
+      OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including,
+      without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE,

+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or exemplary damages of any character arising as a
