Awesome Agent Conventions - convention files for AI agents

Awesome Agent Conventions

**A curated field guide to the convention files AI agents read, write, and act on.**

**22 conventions across 11 categories.** From common project instruction files to newer agent-web discovery and trust formats.

Agent tools increasingly rely on plain files in a repository or website root: instructions, memory, rules, tool connections, prompt assets, discovery metadata, and protocol hints. The names are easy to mix up, and the adoption levels vary a lot.

This repo keeps the map practical:

Know what a file is for. Each entry names the convention, usual filename, primary readers, and spec or source.
Study real examples. Examples are fetched from public repositories by script, with provenance kept at the top of each file.
Separate practice from proposal. Maturity labels show what is widely used, what is early, and what is still only proposed.
