agentnative

agent-native

The CLI standard for AI agents. Paste a CLI at anc.dev, get a scorecard, share. Eight RFC 2119 principles, four artifacts:

  • spec defines eight principles with machine-readable requirement IDs.

  • anc lints CLIs against the spec. ~20-30k hits/week.

    brew install brettdavies/tap/agentnative
  • anc.dev/scorecards ranks top CLIs against the spec on a live leaderboard.

  • skill bundle teaches Claude Code / Codex / Cursor to invoke anc and remediate findings.

Also shipping

  • bird and xurl-rs: agent-native Rust CLIs for the X API that dogfood the standard.
  • A multi-agent orchestrator that runs 8-9 hours autonomously across an approved plan, dispatching subagents and managing git worktrees.
  • 80+ agent skills shared multi-machine, including a create-agent-skills skill-creator and an unslop prose-scrubber.
  • Open-source contributor across gbrain (agent memory), gstack, Defuddle, qmd, and compound engineering.
  • Streams Group: rebuilding a hundreds-of-millions data-center developer's operations AI-native, from the ground up.

The code speaks for itself.
