agent-3md AGENTS.md

Project instructions for agent-3md, a format where one Markdown file describes an AI agent and its on-demand skills. The project includes TypeScript, Rust, and Swift loaders, which read and validate that format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the agent-3md loader, validator, command-line tool, MCP server, examples, or its specification and tests.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a map of the project, its conventions, and the requirement that the different loaders behave alike.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-3md AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

agent-3md

One 3md file is a whole agent (identity plus on-demand skills). See README.md for the pitch and SPEC.md for the agent3md/1 format definition. The reference implementation is the TypeScript loader; Rust and Swift loaders prove the format ports.

Project map

  • src/runtime.ts - the reference loader (Agent: manifest / route / get / resolve).
  • src/validate.ts - the agent3md/1 conformance validator.
  • src/threemd.ts - the canonical 3md parser, vendored.
  • src/cli.ts, src/mcp.ts, src/export.ts - CLI, MCP server, JSON projection.
  • loaders/rust - the native agent3md CLI (published to crates.io).
  • loaders/swift - the Swift loader on the canonical ThreeMD package.
  • specs/ - the spec-sync contracts for the source modules.
  • examples/conformance/ - labeled valid/invalid vectors for any implementation.
  • SPEC.md - the authoritative agent3md/1 specification.

Conventions

TypeScript is the reference and the package you embed; Rust is the default native CLI. Default to Bun for the TypeScript toolchain (bun test, bun build, bun install). Keep the three loaders behaviorally identical: routing, validation, and dependency resolution must not diverge across languages.

CorvidLabs trust toolchain

This repository uses one trust gate. Every session must use it and must not bypass or weaken it.

  • Run fledge trust verify before calling a change complete.
  • Keep module specs synchronized with implementation changes.
  • Treat an Augur block verdict as a hard stop that must be surfaced and de-risked.
  • Record and verify provenance with Attest after the repository's verification lane passes.
  • Keep generated trust configuration and this managed block in place.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
