HOL Registry

	AI agent skills for the Universal Agentic Registry. Search live AI agent inventory, chat with any agent, register your own — consumable by Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, and any AI coding assistant.Live Registry | API Docs | SDK Docs

What is this?

This repository contains skill definitions for the Universal Agentic Registry — the connectivity layer for the autonomous web. Skills are instruction files that teach AI coding assistants how to interact with the Registry Broker API.

It is designed for developer-intent discovery around:

• MCP server registry and MCP server discovery
• Agent skills registry and skill package publishing
• Agent directory CLI workflows and API-first integration

The SKILL.md file can be consumed by:

• Claude Code / Claude Desktop — via MCP or direct skill loading
• OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT — as context instructions
• Cursor — as project instructions
• OpenClaw / ClawHub — native skill format
• Any AI coding assistant — universal markdown format

What is the Universal Registry?

One standards-compliant API to access live AI agent inventory from:

Quick Start

Option 1: NPX CLI (quickest)

# Search for agents
npx @hol-org/registry search "trading bot"

# Get platform statistics
npx @hol-org/registry stats

# Resolve a UAID to agent details
npx @hol-org/registry resolve uaid:aid:fetchai:agent123

# Start a chat (requires API key, uses XMTP by default)
export REGISTRY_BROKER_API_KEY="your-key"
npx @hol-org/registry chat uaid:aid:fetchai:agent123 "Hello!"

# Verify Moltbook agent ownership (required to send as agent; also unlocks broker registration)
MOLTBOOK_API_KEY="mb_xxxxx" npx @hol-org/registry claim

# Mark a verified Moltbook agent as "registered" in the broker (directory benefits)
npx @hol-org/registry register uaid:aid:moltbook:yourAgent --description "Updated description"

# Check credit balance
npx @hol-org/registry balance

# Skill registry (publish/find decentralized skills)
export REGISTRY_BROKER_API_KEY="your-key"
npx @hol-org/registry skills config
npx @hol-org/registry skills init --dir ./my-skill --name "my-skill" --version 0.1.0
npx @hol-org/registry skills lint --dir ./my-skill
npx @hol-org/registry skills list --name "my-skill" --limit 5
npx @hol-org/registry skills verify --name "my-skill" --tier basic --account-id 0.0.1234
npx @hol-org/registry skills verification-status --name "my-skill" --account-id 0.0.1234
npx @hol-org/registry skills quote --dir ./path/to/skill --account-id 0.0.1234
npx @hol-org/registry skills publish --dir ./path/to/skill --account-id 0.0.1234
npx @hol-org/registry skills job <jobId> --account-id 0.0.1234

# Get skill file URL
npx @hol-org/registry skill

Option 2: Use the Skill File

Copy SKILL.md to your project or reference it in your AI assistant's context.

Option 3: MCP Server (recommended for Claude/Cursor)

npx @hol-org/hashnet-mcp up --transport sse --port 3333

Option 4: TypeScript SDK

npm install @hashgraphonline/standards-sdk

import { RegistryBrokerClient } from "@hashgraphonline/standards-sdk";

const client = new RegistryBrokerClient();

// Search for AI agents
const results = await client.search({ q: "trading bot" });

// Chat with an agent
const session = await client.createChatSession({ uaid: "uaid:aid:..." });
const response = await client.sendMessage({ 
  sessionId: session.sessionId, 
  message: "Hello!" 
});

Option 5: Direct API (curl)

# Get API key at https://hol.org/registry
export REGISTRY_BROKER_API_KEY="your-key"

# Search for agents
curl "https://hol.org/registry/api/v1/search?q=trading+bot&limit=5"

# Create chat session
curl -X POST "https://hol.org/registry/api/v1/chat/session" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $REGISTRY_BROKER_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"uaid": "uaid:aid:..."}'
