# agent/

The single source of the agent layer. Skills use the Agent Skills format: `name` + `description` frontmatter, instructions below. Agents without skill support read the matching `SKILL.md` by hand, as `AGENTS.md` explains.

- **skills/**: edit them here, never in a copy inside an agent's own folder. [slp-setup](slp-setup.md) links or converts them for your agent
- **reference/**: what several skills share, so no skill restates it. `formats.md` is every file under `topics/<slug>/`, `graded-questions.md` the rules for questions with a right answer, `sources.md` which sources count and how to settle a conflict between them

Skill list and tool-name mapping: [skills](skills.md). Agents: [researcher](researcher.md), [teacher-\<slug>](teacher.md).
