Patterson Platform Docs

The reference library behind the Patterson agent platform.

Vendor documentation, open specifications, and assessments — captured with provenance, so decisions can be traced to what was actually true when they were made.

docs.patterson.sh — the reference library for agent platforms.

Why this exists

Agent platforms are moving fast enough that documentation captured a month apart can disagree. When a decision in patterson-corp says “managed settings are winner-take-all” or “marketplace names are a flat namespace,” it needs to be checkable against the source as it read at the time — not against a page that has since been rewritten.

Everything here carries a source URL, a capture date, and a completeness note. Where a page could not be captured — client-rendered shells, truncated schemas — that is recorded too, rather than silently omitted.

Note

This is a reference library, not an authority. The cited originals remain the source of truth. Local copies exist for availability and traceability.

What is captured here

• Platforms — vendor documentation for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and VS Code agent customization, captured with source URL and fetch date on every page.
• Specs — the open standards these platforms build on: MCP, Agent Skills, Agent Plugins, ACP, AHP, A2UI, MCP Apps, and Google Stitch’s DESIGN.md convention.
• Assessments — analysis written against the material above, dated and carrying judgments rather than just facts.
• Scaffold templates — the superseded multi-repo scaffolding prototype, kept for traceability.
