abstract: >
  Activity Specification Protocol (ASP) is a YAML-based standard for
  machine-readable professional profiles. It describes what people do
  (not who they are) and what organizations need (not what job title
  they're hiring for). Specifications are LLM-generated, git-tracked,
  and LLM-matched. Five historical demos demonstrate the format using
  figures from the history of science and engineering.
