Downloading Agents

Agents are just folders. This means you can share, download, and run them instantly.

Why This Works

• Agents are folders — An agent is just an AGENTS.md file (memory/instructions) plus a skills/ directory. No code required.
• Single artifact — Package skills and memory together in one zip. Everything the agent needs to run.
• Run in seconds — Download, unzip, and run with deepagents-cli. No setup, no configuration.

Prerequisites

uv tool install deepagents-cli==0.0.13

# Unzip to .deepagents
unzip agent.zip -d .deepagents

# Run it
