DotAgents Protocol

agent-sync supports DotAgents Protocol for vendor-neutral skills management.

Overview

The DotAgents Protocol (~/.agents/) provides a vendor-neutral, git-friendly convention for storing and sharing AI agent configurations and skills.

Structure

~/.agents/
├── skills/                        # Shared skills directory
│   ├── skill-name/
│   │   └── SKILL.md               # Skill definition
│   └── another-skill/
│       └── SKILL.md
└── (agents-specific files)

How agent-sync Uses DotAgents

agent-sync uses ~/.agents/skills/ as the central hub:

# Move scattered skills to hub
agent-sync skills centralize

# Push to backup
agent-sync push

# Pull on new machine
agent-sync pull

Benefits

One source of truth	Skills live in ~/.agents/skills/ - not duplicated
