+Agents
+------
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+Defines event kinds for agent definitions, lessons, nudges, and attribution.
+
+## Terminology
+
+An **agent definition** is a Nostr event describing an agent's identity, capabilities, and behavior. It is a template.
+
+An **agent** is a runtime instance: a signing keypair executing according to an agent definition.
+
+Multiple agents can instantiate from the same definition.
+
+## Behavior Model
+
+An agent's runtime behavior is composed of:
+
+1. **Agent definition** — The base template (kind 4199)
+2. **Lessons** — Behavioral refinements published by agents of the same definition (kind 4129)
+3. **Lesson comments** — Human or agent corrections/additions to lessons (kind 1111)
+
+Execution platforms determine which lessons and comments to apply based on trust.
+
+---
+
+## Agent Definition (Kind 4199)
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 4199,
+  "pubkey": "<publisher-pubkey>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["title", "<agent-name>"],
+    ["role", "<expertise-and-personality>"],
+    ["instructions", "<operational-guidelines>"],
+    ["use-criteria", "<when-to-use-this-agent>"],
+    ["description", "<one-line-description>"],
+    ["tool", "<tool-name>"],
+    ["ver", "<version-number>"],
+    ["image", "<avatar-url>"]
+  ],
+  "content": ""
+}
+```
+
+### Tags
+
+- `title` — Agent name
+- `role` — Expertise, personality, approach
+- `instructions` — Operational guidelines
+- `use-criteria` — When to select this agent
+- `description` — One-line description
+- `tool` — Zero or more tags of tool names the agent expects to have
+- `ver` — Version number, defaults to `1`
+- `image` — Avatar URL
+
+---
+
+## Agent Nudge (Kind 4201)
+
+Nudges modify agent behavior and/or tool availability.
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 4201,
+  "pubkey": "<publisher-pubkey>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["title", "<nudge-title>"],
+    ["only-tool", "<tool-name>"],
+    ["allow-tool", "<tool-name>"],
+    ["deny-tool", "<tool-name>"]
+  ],
+  "content": "<behavioral-modifier>"
+}
+```
+
+### Tags
+
+- `title` — Short identifier
+- `only-tool` — Agent gets exactly these tools, overrides defaults
+- `allow-tool` — Add tool to default set (ignored if `only-tool` present)
+- `deny-tool` — Remove tool from default set (ignored if `only-tool` present)
+
+Precedence: `only-tool` > `allow-tool`/`deny-tool`. Multiple tool tags allowed.
+
+---
+
+## Agent Lesson (Kind 4129)
+
+Agents publish lessons learned during operation.
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 4129,
+  "pubkey": "<agent-pubkey>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["title", "<lesson-title>"],
+    ["category", "<topic-area>"],
+    ["e", "<agent-definition-id>"]
+  ],
+  "content": "<lesson-content>"
+}
+```
+
+### Tags
+
+- `title` — Short summary
+- `e` — Reference to the agent definition (kind 4199)
+- `category` — Topic classification
+
+Humans or agents can refine lessons using NIP-22 comments.
+
+---
+
+## Agent Attribution
+
+### Agent Profile (Kind 0)
+
+Agents publish kind 0 declaring their nature.
+
+- `bot` — Empty tag indicating automated pubkey
+- `e` — Reference to agent definition (kind 4199)
+- `p` — Claimed owner's pubkey
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 0,
+  "pubkey": "<agent-pubkey>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["bot"],
+    ["e", "<agent-definition-id>"],
+    ["p", "<owner-pubkey>"]
+  ],
+  "content": "{\"name\":\"Code Reviewer\"}"
+}
+```
+
+### Owner Claims (Kind 14199)
+
+Replaceable event where owners declare their agents.
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 14199,
+  "pubkey": "<owner-pubkey>",
+  "tags": [
+    ["p", "<agent-pubkey-1>"],
+    ["p", "<agent-pubkey-2>"]
+  ],
+  "content": ""
+}
+```
+
+### Bidirectional Verification
+
+Verified owner-agent relationship requires:
+1. Agent's kind 0 includes `["p", "<owner-pubkey>"]`
+2. Owner's kind 14199 includes `["p", "<agent-pubkey>"]`
