## Executive Summary

Trychroma's API program shows strength in authentication and security design, but two critical gaps threaten partner and agent adoption. First, there is no structured instructions file to orient AI agents, meaning agents attempting to integrate will lack the context needed to operate correctly and will resort to guessing. Second, there are no runnable collections or test scripts, so partners have no executable starting point and must build from scratch — dramatically slowing integration and increasing support burden. Closing these two gaps should be the immediate priority to make the program self-serve ready for both human partners and their AI agents.
