xURL

xURL is a client for AI agent URLs.

Also known as Xuanwo's URL.

What xURL Can Do

• Read an agent conversation as markdown.
• Query recent threads and keyword matches for a provider.
• Query role-scoped threads with agents://<provider>/<role>.
• Discover subagent/branch navigation targets.
• Read local and GitHub-hosted skills via skills:// URIs.
• Start a new conversation with agents.
• Continue an existing conversation with follow-up prompts.

Quick Start

1. Add xurl as an agent skill:

|------|  |--------|  |---------------------------|  |------|
 optional   provider         optional path parts        query
 scheme

• scheme: optional agents:// prefix. If omitted, xurl treats input as an agents URI shorthand.

• token: main conversation identifier or role name.
• child_id: child/subagent identifier under a main conversation.
• query: optional key-value parameters, interpreted by context.

Agents Query

• q=<keyword>: filters discovery results by keyword. Use when you want to find conversations by topic.
• limit=<n>: limits discovery result count (default 10). Use when you need a shorter or longer result list.
• <key>=<value>: in write mode (-d), xurl forwards as --<key> <value> to the provider CLI.

Examples:

agents://codex?q=spawn_agent&limit=10
agents://codex/threads/<conversation_id>
