The Index · updated weekly

Every agent standard,
and whether it will survive.

These specifications consolidated in 2025–26 and almost none of them are ratified. Some will become infrastructure and some will be abandoned. We track every one, date every change, and tell you plainly which to adopt now and which to watch.
