Reference

Look up the exact details of the AgentM harness — the install flags, config schemas, detection rules, vault checks, and the log of shipped work. These pages tell you what things are; the How-to pages cover how to do a task, and Architecture covers how it's built.

Install & layout

Page	What it covers
Installer CLI	The flags and prerequisites for install.sh / install.ps1, and which files each owns.
Supported configurations	The install-scope, vault-storage, and state-mode choices, with a pointer to each.
Migration tool	The tool that moves an older per-project install to user scope, and what it records.
Repo layout	The top-level directory map, and how the host adapters line up.
Compatibility	The supported hosts and operating systems.

Detection & config

Page	What it covers
Detection rules	The built-in rules that spot what a project needs, and why each one fires.
Project config	The project.json schema that turns features on and off.
Auto-orchestration config	Every setting behind auto-orchestration — the toggles, thresholds, and cooldowns — and its default.

Memory & vault

Page	What it covers
AgentMemory context payload	The paste-anywhere memory payload, and what's in it.
Vault lint checks	The read-only checks the vault audit runs, and what each one looks for.
Note relatedness signals	The signals used to suggest links between notes.
Vault write protocol	How the vault stays safe when more than one session writes at once, and the habits that help.
Process seam	The small read-only interface another process uses to reach memory, instead of calling the engine directly.
Storage seam	The interface the engine uses to read and write storage, and its two backends: the device-local store and the synced vault.
Orchestration bridge	The read-only bridge that surfaces orchestration state to another process.
Queue status lite	The read-only coordinator dashboard that lists every active plan and its status.
Memory MCP tools	The memory-engine tool surface exposed over MCP.

Plugin capabilities

Page	What it covers
Capability resolver	How the harness works out which capabilities are available, on each host.
Design governance	The frontmatter convention that ties a design to what it governs, and the resolver behind it.
Persona tier schema	The kind: persona manifest fields and the check-personas gate that enforces them.

CI & shipped work

Page	What it covers
CI gates	What each CI workflow proves, and the script behind it.
GitHub Projects sync	The board-sync surface agentm exposes — the config it reads, when phases emit updates, and the graceful-skip.
PII Guardrail	What to keep out of the public repo, and how the scan enforces it.
Completed features	The log of shipped work, newest first.
Known issues	Fixed gotchas worth knowing before you hit them — non-obvious repro conditions, environmental dependencies, surprising interactions.
