Love the concept and agree it can become a thing. On the schema, not sure about skillflows, tools, knowledge, memory - those aren't much standardized today, but agree they help as additional primitives, and standardizing would help. I built Agent Package Manager at Microsoft - wondering if it may supercharge GitAgents with dependency modules so that they can become composable, same as for classic software. Many common core ideas on the paradigm, curious on your take https://github.com/microsoft/apm Similar idea (rooted on "agents as markdown") but on the outer loop is taking shape at GitHub with GitHub Agentic Workflows.
In Show HN: GitAgent – An open standard that turns any Git repo into an AI agent
The three-file split is a clean design — separating personality from capabilities from config mirrors how most frameworks model agents internally, which probably makes the export layer more natural. Curious how you handle the capability gap when exporting though: if I define a SKILL.md that relies on tool-use patterns CrewAI supports but Claude Code doesn't (or vice versa), does the export silently drop it, or does `gitagent validate` catch that mismatch? That's where I've found portability across frameworks gets genuinely hard — the abstractions don't line up 1:1. I've been working on related problems from the dependency-management angle (github.com/microsoft/apm), more about making agent configuration reproducible across a team than portable across frameworks, and the framework divergence keeps being the hardest part.
