Precise and complete language-agnostic specification of gRPC

Is there a full specification of the gRPC protocol, like RFC, that could be followed by an implementer? I am looking for document(s) that would allow me to implement gRPC that can interoperate with the official implementations (and currently supported transports).

Different aspects are described conceptually in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, but I am wondering if it is enough to just replicate that behavior and have a code that will work with the reference implementation, or there is something undocumented that is going on under the hood?

Your 5th link is the "source of truth" spec for the main gRPC protocol: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL-HTTP2.md – Stanley Cheung Mar 26 '19 at 02:58

You may also be interested to read/watch https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/15460 for a higher-level/semantic specification. It has stalled a bit, but most of what slowed it down was bikeshedding over the terms to use. – Eric Anderson Apr 02 '19 at 20:57
