Registry / contribute

Get an agent listed

The registry grows through suggestions and curated imports. Listing is free, editorial, and based on fit — not stars, sponsorship, or who asks loudest. Two ways to contribute: review agents you have run, or submit a new one below.

What qualifies

• A research purpose. The agent does or assists scientific work — literature, bio-omics, chemistry, drug discovery, clinical workflows, autonomous research, orchestration around research agents.
• A public repo or a paper. A GitHub repository we can fetch metrics from, or a companion publication with a usable link. Closed SaaS without either cannot be tracked honestly.
• Objective facts only. Descriptions come from the repo itself; tags carry institutions and venues, not marketing claims. Contested names get disambiguated, never silently merged.

Submit

Open an issue with the basics — name, repo URL, category suggestion, paper link if there is one, and one line on why it fits. No template gymnastics; a maintainer reads every one.

What happens next

Maintainers

The registry data lives in data/agents-snapshot.json, and the only supported entry point for new records is the validated CLI — the snapshot is never hand-edited:

pnpm agent:add owner/repo --category <slug> [--paper URL] [--tags "Stanford,Nature-Biotechnology"]
pnpm db:apply-snapshot

The same verbs also ship as the standalone @webioinfo/agentx-cli npm package — agentx add … --root <dir> maintains any checkout of the registry. Full development setup is in the repository README.
