Current attested Codex, Claude Code, and Agent Skills extension contracts for skilltap. Use when designing, implementing, reviewing, or documenting harness adapters; plugin or marketplace manifests; native plugin lifecycle; skill directories or SKILL.md frontmatter; AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md bridges; configuration scopes; compatibility transfer; adoption, reconciliation, status, or update behavior.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent Extension Standards

Ground extension work in the current research substrate. Do not reuse remembered
Claude-only marketplace assumptions or flatten the two harnesses into a generic

- Claude Code: `.research/analysis/campaigns/marketplace-standards/specialists/claude.md`
- Agent Skills: `.research/analysis/campaigns/marketplace-standards/specialists/agent-skills.md`

Use attestations under `.research/attestation/` for source-direct verification.
Treat specialist briefs and the parent synthesis as analytical guidance, not
primary sources. Never cite `.research/.import-holding/` as evidence.

## Preserve these boundaries

- Treat a skill as its complete directory with top-level `SKILL.md`. Never
  manage only the Markdown file when sibling resources exist.
- Use `.agents/skills/` as skilltap's canonical portable placement when the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nklisch/skilltap/agent-extension-standards@sha256:81bc06fe0d35cc57

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260711.8c4d6a0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
