# UKLSP — UK Local Services Protocol

> Open specification (v0.1-draft) making UK local service providers discoverable, quotable and bookable by AI agents. Spec text CC BY 4.0; schemas and reference code MIT. First vertical: landlord compliance (CP12 gas safety, EICR, EPC, fire door inspection, PAT testing, legionella).

Key rules: slots are server-authoritative; every booking requires a human principal (agent.on_behalf_of_human=true); listings marked demo:true must never be booked.

## Spec
- [Specification overview](https://uklsp.org/spec/): six core objects, two bindings, normative rules
- [Provider](https://uklsp.org/spec/provider/): the manifest — identity, coverage, capabilities
- [ServiceCapability](https://uklsp.org/spec/service-capability/): pricing models fixed/from/quote_only and required credentials
- [AvailabilitySlot](https://uklsp.org/spec/availability-slot/): AM/PM/all-day windows, hold semantics
- [Booking](https://uklsp.org/spec/booking/): request/confirmation, idempotency, price integrity
- [ComplianceCredential](https://uklsp.org/spec/compliance-credential/): register references, honest verification labelling
- [ReviewAttestation](https://uklsp.org/spec/review-attestation/): provenance-weighted review summaries
- [REST binding](https://uklsp.org/spec/rest/) and [OpenAPI 3.1](https://uklsp.org/openapi.yaml)
- [MCP binding](https://uklsp.org/spec/mcp/): uklsp_discover, uklsp_get_slots, uklsp_create_booking

## Certification
- [Levels & harness](https://uklsp.org/certification/): 1 Discoverable, 2 Quotable, 3 Bookable; deterministic report hashes
- [Public register](https://uklsp.org/register/): certified providers with report hashes · JSON at https://uklsp.org/register/register.json
