Reference for the file formats, locations, and discovery conventions agentspec manages across AI coding tools (skills, agents, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, llms.txt, instruction files, plans, memories, sessions, MCP, permissions, hooks, plugins). Use when you need to know where a resource lives, what format it uses, how agentspec discovers it, or how it maps into the ~/.agents canonical store.

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

# Resource Conventions

Portable reference for every resource type agentspec manages. agentspec normalizes
resources into an intermediate representation (IR) with **8 ResourceKinds** (`Skill`,
`Agent`, `ProjectConfig`, `InstructionFile`, `LlmsTxt`, `Memory`, `Session`, `Plan`)
and supports **11 tools**: Claude Code, Cline, Windsurf, OpenHands, Gemini CLI,
GitHub Copilot, Amp, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Kimi CLI. All 11 support skills + agents
dirs; **9** also host MCP servers (see the MCP section). Run `agentspec tools` for the
live table of what is installed on the current machine.

## Canonical store (`~/.agents/`)

The shared cross-tool store. agentspec is source of truth for managed kinds (skills,
agents) and keeps copies of synced-in kinds.

- `~/.agents/skills/{name}/SKILL.md`: managed skills
- `~/.agents/agents/{name}.md`: managed agents
- `~/.agents/projects/<key>/`: project config + instruction-file snapshots (key = full
  project path encoded Claude-style, so same-basename projects never collide)
- `~/.agents/memories/<project>/`: pulled tool memories
- `~/.agents/plans/<name>.md`: planning artifacts
- `~/.agents/sessions/<target>/<id>.md`: portable handoffs

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add urmzd/agentspec/resource-conventions@sha256:f68c7894b3c5b7d8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.d0d10c8, 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.
