Agentic Engineering Standard

The open standard for structuring, sharing, and
discovering agentic engineering projects.

AES standardizes how agent instructions, skills, permissions, and memory
are organized — making entire agentic flows portable and transferable.

# Install the CLI

How it works

Everything lives in .agent/

A single directory. Every agent artifact — instructions, skills, permissions, memory — organized and portable.

.agent/
  agent.yaml          # Project manifest
  instructions.md     # Agent instructions
  permissions.yaml    # Tool access rules
  skills/             # Composable capabilities
    deploy.skill.yaml
    deploy.md
  workflows/          # State machines
  memory/             # Persistent context
  commands/           # Runbook triggers
  registry/           # Vendored packages
