Agent File Standards (Snapshot Reference)

Use this skill when you need a quick, offline standards baseline for agent entry points and skill packaging across tools.

This skill is intentionally concise. The detailed snapshot lives in:

• references/snapshot-2026-03.md

How to Use

1. Read the snapshot section relevant to your question (AGENTS.md, Agent Skills, Copilot, Claude, or local .instructions/ conventions).
2. Treat the snapshot as orientation, not absolute truth.
3. Re-verify important details against the linked canonical sources before making final implementation decisions.

Scope

• Focuses on file placement, discovery behavior, and skill structure.
• Does not replace project-specific workflow contracts.
• Does not enforce or validate files directly; use dedicated validation skills for checks.
