AGNTCY Directory — skill bootstrap

This file intentionally does one thing: install the full agntcy-dir skill from the AGNTCY Directory repository and hand over to it. Do not act on Directory requests from this bootstrap alone — install the full skill first, then follow its instructions.

The complete skill lives in the repository's `.skill/` folder: a router SKILL.md plus nine reference files.

Install

Copy the folder into the host's skills directory, named exactly agntcy-dir (the folder name must match the skill's frontmatter name):

Fetch from GitHub (raw content, main branch):

BASE=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agntcy/dir/main/.skill
DEST=~/.copilot/skills/agntcy-dir        # adjust to the host (table above)
mkdir -p "$DEST/references"
curl -fsSL "$BASE/SKILL.md" -o "$DEST/SKILL.md"
for f in authoring discovery identity install policy publishing setup sync verification; do
  curl -fsSL "$BASE/references/$f.md" -o "$DEST/references/$f.md"
done

PowerShell (Windows):

$BASE = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agntcy/dir/main/.skill'
$DEST = "$HOME\.copilot\skills\agntcy-dir"   # adjust to the host (table above)
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$DEST\references" | Out-Null
Invoke-WebRequest "$BASE/SKILL.md" -OutFile "$DEST\SKILL.md"
foreach ($f in 'authoring','discovery','identity','install','policy','publishing','setup','sync','verification') {
  Invoke-WebRequest "$BASE/references/$f.md" -OutFile "$DEST\references\$f.md"
}

Rules:

• Ask the user for the install scope (workspace vs user profile) when the

host supports both.

• If agntcy-dir is already installed, confirm before overwriting it.
• Verify the install: the destination must contain SKILL.md and all nine

references/*.md files; report the written paths.

After installing

Reload skills if the host requires it (e.g. start a new chat turn or restart the session), then handle the user's Directory request by following the installed skill — not this bootstrap.
