Agent standardization is underway

It’s funny how quietly the agent world is standardizing itself. AGENTS, CLAUDE, GEMINI .md etc. are basically becoming an accidental agent API. Not an OpenAPI spec, not a protobuf schema. Just… docs. But written in a way machines can reliably parse. You describe: - Goals and roles - Available tools and how to call them - Test commands and success criteria Turns out that is enough for agents to plug in and start doing useful work without a custom integration layer every single time. If this keeps going, every serious repo will ship “context primitives” by default. Not just README and CONTRIBUTING, but a contract for how autonomous collaborators should behave in this codebase. At that point, your repo is no longer only for humans with git installed, it becomes a negotiation space between: - Humans - House agents (your own automation) - Guest agents (external tools, vendors, copilots) This is the part where supporting AI stops meaning “we added a chatbot” and starts meaning “our product, infra, and repos are agent-readable by design”. Your API docs taught humans how to integrate. Your AGENTS .md will teach everyone else.
