+# Cross-module protocol definitions
+
+This module can be used as a place to put cross-module definitions of APIs
+(e.g. JSON). For instance, put golden JSON files that are supposed to be
+generated by the distributor (in some C++ tests), and read by Cluster
+Controller (in some Java tests). This module is supposed to be light-weight.
