auth-md
Generate, validate, and explain `auth.md` files — the open protocol for AI agent registration. Use when making apps agent-ready, generating Protected Resource Metadata (RFC 9728), validating auth.md files, or implementing agent registration endpoints. Triggers on "auth.md", "agent registration", "agent auth", "make my app agent-ready", "ID-JAG", "identity_assertion", "service_auth", "protected resource metadata", "agentic registration".

# auth-md
Generate, validate, and explain the **auth.md** protocol — the open standard that lets AI agents register for services on behalf of users, without signup forms.

## Protocol Context
auth.md is a Markdown file published at a service's root (typically `https://service.com/auth.md`) that instructs agents on how to register. It works simultaneously as human-readable documentation and as a discoverable runtime artifact for agents.
The protocol extends RFC 9728 (OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource Metadata) with an `agent_auth` block in the Authorization Server metadata. Registration returns an `identity_assertion` (service-signed JWT) that the agent exchanges at `/oauth2/token` for an `access_token`. Three registration methods are supported:
