DIR Community
Contributors to the Agent Directory Service (ADS) work in the open on the specification, server implementation, client SDKs, and federation deployments. If you run a directory node, publish OASF agent records, or integrate discovery into your stack, the links below are where the work happens—repos, Slack, meetings, and recent posts from the team.
ADS is developed within AGNTCY, alongside OASF, SLIM, and other infrastructure for open, vendor-neutral agent discovery.
