Agentic Resource Registry
A self-hosted, Apache 2.0 registry for sharing coding agent resources. Formerly Observal.
Set up once, and let your coding agent use Agentic Resource Registry through observal-cli.
If you find Agentic Resource Registry useful, please consider giving it a star. It helps others discover the project and keeps development going.
Formerly Observal. Same code, same maintainers, same Apache 2.0 license. The CLI is still observal, and old Observal/Observal links redirect here.
What is Agentic Resource Registry and what does it solve?
Agentic Resource Registry is a self-hosted, Apache 2.0 registry for sharing coding agent resources across your organization. Every tech-forward organization today creates internal Skills, Agents files, MCP clients. Though the creation of these coding agent resources has been prolific, peer adoption and usage is sparse. Coding agent users today end up creating their own version of such resouces without reusing existing packages.
The cause is largely due to two problems:
-
Lack of a discoverability layer
Organizations store their coding agent resources in siloed git repositories with little to no documentation. Users are not able to locate existing coding agent resources and this results in multiple developers creating the same/similar resources again.
-
Missing feedback loop
Any software where usage patterns are not understood and the principle of user-centric development is violated tends to fade out. Such is the problem with development of MCP clients, Skills and Agent files. Authors publish and maintain these resources with little visibility into how they're actually used. Additionally, Coding agent failures don't trigger static error codes: they hallucinate or provide subtly incorrect answers. This leaves users clueless about what went wrong compounding the feedback problem.
Agentic Resource Registry solves this by providing a centralized discovery layer for coding agent resources alongside useful insights into usage patterns. It turns silent failures into actionable feedback, ensuring internal resources are continuously optimized for the people using them.
Agentic Resource Registry supports Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro, Pi, Copilot, Codex, OpenCode, and other tools.
Why teams use Agentic Resource Registry
- Centralize resources into one platform: Store Skills, MCP clients, hooks, prompts, agent files and sandboxes in one registry.
- Run a governed registry: Review submissions, approve internal agents, inspect version diffs, and give developers one trusted place to install from.
- Render across multiple Coding IDE/CLI: Generate the correct config for each supported harness instead of maintaining separate setup instructions for every harness.
- Let agents use each other: Every approved resource is discoverable over the open ARD standard, and a running agent can hand part of its task to another approved agent, whether it lives in the registry or is a remote A2A service.
- Learn what works: Use real adoption and session data to find which agents, tools, prompts, and workflows are helping teams.
- Replay sessions when needed: Use traces as evidence for debugging, review, audits, and deeper analysis.
