Score: 6.7/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 5, Utility: 7)

OXP is an open protocol that enables IDE extensions to be written once and run across multiple editors like VS Code, JetBrains, and Neovim. It aims to solve the fragmentation of extension ecosystems, especially for AI tools, by providing a universal interface for cross-editor installation and execution.

Target audience: plugin developers, tool maintainers, backend devs
