About

AI Registry for Agents (ARA)

ARA (pronounced: ah-rah) is a package registry and distribution system for AI development artifacts. It provides a standardized way to discover, share, and install reusable components that enhance AI assistants and development workflows.

ARA is a vendor-agnostic open standard — any AI coding tool can implement it, including Kiro, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, and others.

Package Types

ARA supports the following package types:

| Type | Description | |------|-------------| | agent | AI assistant configurations with prompts, tools, and behaviors | | mcp-server | Model Context Protocol servers that extend AI capabilities | | powers | Bundles of MCP tools, steering files, and hooks | | steering | Persistent project knowledge files that guide agent behavior | | skill | Procedural knowledge via SKILL.md | | context | Knowledge files, prompt templates, and reference materials | | agents-md | AGENTS.md format for guiding coding agents |

Use the optional platform field to declare tool-specific installation targets (e.g., "platform": "kiro").
