About

# Agent engineering

Portable knowledge for building goal-directed AI agent systems: deciding when
an agent is the right shape at all, designing its behavior, shaping what the
model sees, building the runtime around it, measuring whether it works, and
operating it over time.

The scope is foundation-model software agents. Robotics, autonomous vehicles,
and reinforcement learning are neighboring fields rather than covered domains.

## Start here

- [Foundations](foundations/) - What the discipline covers, how agent systems
compose, how autonomy and risk are classified, and which surface owns which
concern.

## Design the agent's behavior

- [Agent design](agents/) - Goals, control loops, planning, observation and
tool-use policy, memory policy, and human collaboration.
- [Multi-agent systems](multi-agent/) - Roles, topologies, delegation,
handoffs, coordination, and failure containment.

## Shape what the model sees

- [Prompts](prompts/) - Model-facing instructions, contracts, template

# AgentXM agent extensions

First-party public extensions maintained by
[AgentXM](https://agentxm.ai) and distributed through the AgentXM Registry.

## Packs

| Pack | Purpose | Install |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `agent-engineering` | Agent, harness, context, prompt, evaluation, instruction-system, and Agent Skill engineering workflows | `axm install @agentxm/packs/agent-engineering` |

Canonical packages live in their root type directories. Agent-specific skill
directories are AXM-managed projections and are not authoring locations.

Read [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) and the
[publishing guide](docs/publishing.md) before contributing. This repository is
public-by-construction and must never contain private AgentXM context.

## Licensing

Each extension declares its own SPDX license in its manifest. A pack's license
covers only the pack package; its dependencies retain their own licenses. See
[LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) for the repository summary.
