ARD connectors

Client-side connectors that let a chatbot discover agentic resources — tools, skills, MCP servers, agents, and APIs — by searching ARD discovery services (Agent Finders) such as GitHub's Agent Finder or Hugging Face Discover.

These are client-side only — there is no server here. Each connector just points your chatbot at an Agent Finder endpoint you choose, over the HTTP POST /search or remote MCP interface.

What every connector does

Nothing is installed automatically. When you ask it to find tools for a task, it:

1. Lets you pick an Agent Finder from a menu of named options (GitHub, Hugging Face, or your own) and remembers your choice — except the GitHub Copilot skill (skills/github-copilot/), which defaults to GitHub's Agent Finder.
2. Queries it (POST /search).
3. Presents the ranked results (the relevance score is not a trust or safety rating).
4. Installs only on request — once you pick a result, it shows you how to add that resource yourself.

Canonical behavior: shared/discovery-instructions.md.
