Mars is an agent package manager for .agents/ directories. It installs agent profiles and skills from multiple sources into one managed root, tracks ownership in mars.lock, and can link managed content into tool-specific folders like .claude/.

Install

cargo install --git https://github.com/haowjy/mars-agents

Quick Start (2 minutes)

# 1) Initialize managed root in current project
mars init

# 2) Add one or more sources
mars add haowjy/meridian-base
