## What it is
OpenGAP (Git Agent Protocol) is a framework-agnostic, git-native open standard for defining AI agents as repository files, with a reference CLI published on npm. Repositories containing agent.yaml, SOUL.md, skills, tools, and workflows become portable agent definitions exportable to frameworks like Claude Code, LangChain, CrewAI, and AutoGen.

## Use cases
- define an ai agent as a git repo
- portable agent definition across frameworks
- export agent to claude code or langchain
- version control ai agent configurations
- share reusable agent skills
- compliance-ready agent policies for finance

## When to choose
- you want agents defined in version-controlled repos
- you need framework-agnostic agent portability
- you need segregation-of-duties or regulatory compliance in agent definitions
- you want composable agents that extend or delegate to others

## When to avoid
- you need a full agent runtime or orchestration engine rather than a definition standard
- you are locked into a single framework's native agent format
- you need a mature v1.0 specification (spec is still v0.1.0)

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: agent-framework, mcp, cli, developer-tools, version-control
- domain: large-language-models, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: git-native, open-standard, agent-definition, claude-code, agent-skills, specification, ai-agents, automation, nodejs
