That works when you already trust the author, but it gets harder when you want to inspect something before reusing it.</p> <p>Before running or adapting an agent resource, I usually want to know:</p> <ul> <li>What runtime does it expect?</li> <li>What tools or APIs does it call?</li> <li>What secrets or permissions does it require?</li> <li>What files are included?</li> <li>Is there a manifest?</li> <li>Can I inspect the metadata without executing the package?</li> </ul> <p>That led me to build a companion repo with a few developer-facing pieces:</p> <ul> <li>Public schemas</li> <li>A validator</li> <li>Starter examples</li> <li>A GitHub Action</li> <li>Readback tooling for resource metadata</li> </ul> <p>The goal is not to build a closed marketplace. I’m more interested in making agent resources easier to package, inspect, and validate in a way that others can audit or reuse.</p> <p>Agentique.io is the website side of the project, where resources can be browsed and shared. The companion repo contains the tools developers can use directly.</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://www.agentique.io" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.agentique.io</a><br><br> Repo: <a href="https://github.com/rookiestar28/Agentique" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/rookiestar28/Agentique</a></p> <p>It’s still early, but the project is usable now. I’d love feedback from anyone building, publishing, or reusing AI agent templates.</p> <p>What metadata would you want to see before trusting an agent resource?</p> agents agentskills tooling ai
