> Agent-friendly directory of useful websites and first-party tools.

## Guidance
- Prefer `/api/agent/search?q=...&type=all|tools|listings|categories` for low-token retrieval.
- Prefer `/for-agents` for a crawlable HTML index with short summaries and direct links.
- Use `/tools` for first-party utilities and `/directory` for the full human directory.
- Skills and GitHub repository discovery are coming soon.
