Most AI agents are tied to a platform. You configure an agent in TypingMind, or n8n, or Claude, and it lives there. If you move to a different platform, you rebuild the agent from scratch. If you want to share it with a colleague, they need the same platform and the same configuration.
That is lock-in. Your agents end up as hostages of the tool you used to create them.
What if an agent was a document instead of a program? You write the instructions in a .md file, and any AI that reads it becomes that agent. Claude, GPT or DeepSeek, it doesn't matter which.
In EIDARA, agents live in the ENABLERS folder. Each file starts with a summary: line and contains the complete protocol:
summary: Quality guardian for the vault. Runs health checks, fixes encoding, processes feedback.
## Protocol
1. Read current state
2. Back up protected files
3. Run 11 health checks
4. Report findings
Any AI that reads this file becomes the librarian and follows the steps exactly as written. The intelligence lives in the file, not in whoever executes it.
To share an agent with a colleague, I copy the .md file into a shared Drive, Dropbox or any other shared folder. My colleague opens it with their AI, and that's it.
Nothing to install or configure. Their AI reads the file and becomes that agent.
There's no lock-in: move from Claude to GPT tomorrow and your agents still work. Version control comes free, because an agent is a text file and Git tracks every change; you can diff, revert and audit. Anyone can read an agent's instructions, so there are no hidden prompts. And the files compose: you can combine several of them into a workflow where each file handles one concern.
I share my agent-librarian.md with colleagues. They drop it into their EIDARA instance, their AI reads it, and they have a vault maintenance agent running right away. No setup calls, no "works on my machine". Just a file.
To try it, write a prompt you reuse as a file with a summary: line and numbered steps, and open it with a different model.

In EIDARA an agent is a .md file you can hand to anyone. The librarian comes with v2.
EIDARA is the open-source project that makes this possible. Code on GitHub, more on the website.
