Agent Manifest

Agent Manifest is a metadata standard for autonomous AI agents.

Overview

An Agent Manifest defines the identity of an AI agent.

The manifest is minimal by design, and allows you to add and label the different addresses, social accounts, and other links associated with the agent.

You can see an example of how a manifest is rendered on the agent page for Clanker here.
