## What it does

ae-agent gives an AI coding tool a command layer for the AE Agent platform. It covers agents, models, MCP servers, skills, attachments, resource-package import and export, Agent market browsing, approval requests, archived conversations, and user memory.

Resource actions use `ae-cli agent +<command> [options]`; memory actions use `ae-cli memory +<command> [options]`. The CLI supports JSON or table output, host selection, dry runs, and confirmation bypasses. A reference file under `references/` must be read before each matching command, and record IDs must come from `+list-*` discovery commands. High-risk writes require explicit user authorization.
