+# Render Protocol Spec
+
+### Render Protocol specifications, contracts and definitions in protobuf for gRPC communication
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This repository serves as the **canonical source of truth** for the Render Protocol’s
+**specifications, contracts, and schema definitions**.
+
+It is designed to define **language-agnostic, versioned protobuf contracts** that enable
+reliable and efficient communication between Render Protocol clients and servers using
+**gRPC**.
+
+---
+
+## Purpose
+
+The primary intent of this repository is to:
+
+- Define **protocol-level contracts** for Render Protocol
+- Establish a **stable, strongly-typed interface** between clients and servers
+- Enable consistent behavior across multiple platforms and implementations
+- Act as the foundation for **server-driven UI (SDUI)** communication
+
+This repository **does not contain any runtime or business logic**.
+
+---
+
+## Scope (Initial Phase)
+
+At the current stage, this repository exists to establish **structure and intent** only.
+
+Detailed specifications, schemas, and API definitions will be introduced **after the core
+architecture and protocol design are finalized**.
+
+---
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- No server implementations
+- No client SDKs
+- No generated code
+- No tooling or code-generation setup at this stage
+
+Those concerns will be handled in their respective repositories.
+
+---
+
+## Status
+
+🚧 **Early stage / Planning phase**
+
+The contents of this repository will evolve as the Render Protocol architecture matures.
+
+---
+
+## Related Repositories
+
+This repository is part of the broader **Render Protocol** ecosystem, which includes:
+
+- Client renderers (SwiftUI, Flutter, Compose)
+- Server implementations
+- Supporting tooling and infrastructure
+
+Details will be linked once available.
