Protocol and notation systems for abstract strategy board games

Sashité provides rule-agnostic specifications for representing board games, positions, game states, and match records in a way that can be shared across engines and tools.

Core Concepts

All specifications build on a small set of shared concepts:

• The Game Protocol defines Matches, Positions, Actions, and Moves, along with the structural invariants any engine must respect.
• The Glossary gives canonical definitions for terms such as Terminal Piece, Legal Move, and Game State.
• Additional layers (for example position encodings, match notations, and game state vocabularies) are defined in individual specs.

Read the Glossary to align terminology across your own tools and Sashité’s specifications.
