Introduction
Awesome Agent Standards is a curated index of standards, protocols, conventions, and emerging patterns for AI agents.
The source of truth remains the repository root README.md. The Docusaurus site mirrors that registry into focused pages, explains how conventions are evaluated, and generates browsable pages for every file under examples/**.
What Belongs Here
- File-based conventions that agents can read directly from repositories or predictable web paths.
- Open protocols that standardize how agents connect to tools, resources, APIs, or each other.
- Patterns with public documentation, specs, canonical references, or clear production usage.
What Does Not Belong Here
- Frameworks, SaaS products, or libraries by themselves.
- Private team templates without external adoption.
- Useful file names that have not become a recognizable convention.
Start Here
- Read the full registry in README Mirror.
- Browse the conceptual map in Layers.
- Read Harness Engineering to see how the conventions work together during an agent run.
- Use the Decision Guide to choose a convention for a specific project need.
- Review the Methodology and Status Taxonomy before proposing new entries.
- Check Emerging Patterns for candidates that still need adoption or specification evidence.
- Explore copyable files in Examples.
