COVENANT · executor capabilities · ← api docs

The Capabilities page is a viewer/editor of the real files each executor reads on disk — not a uniform abstraction. So the sections it shows mirror each tool's native model and differ per executor. There is no universal "agent" standard; each tool realizes overlapping concepts differently.

The matrix

✓ = a native file/dir Covenant can list and edit for that tool.

Section	Claude	opencode	Codex	Copilot	Pi	Hermes
Skills	✓ .claude/skills	—	—	—	✓ ~/.pi/skills	—
Agents	✓ .claude/agents	✓ .opencode/agent	—¹	—¹	—²	—
Commands	✓ .claude/commands	—	✓ ~/.codex/prompts	—	✓ ~/.pi/prompts	—
Hooks	✓ settings.json	—	—	—	—	—
MCPs	✓	✓ opencode.json	✓ config.toml	✓	—	—
Memory	✓ CLAUDE.md	✓ AGENTS.md	✓ AGENTS.md	✓ copilot-instructions.md	—	✓ .hermes.md

Project scope mirrors the same paths under the repo root (e.g. <repo>/.claude/agents, <repo>/CLAUDE.md).

Only Claude Code supports all six — it is the richest native model. Every other executor supports a subset.

Notes on "Agents"

The Agents section means a multi-agent directory (one .md per subagent). That exists natively only for Claude (.claude/agents) and opencode (.opencode/agent).

¹ Codex / Copilot run one persona at a time, not a directory of subagents. The persona is a managed block inside AGENTS.md / copilot-instructions.md — so it surfaces under Memory, not Agents.
² Pi has no subagent concept; it materializes agents as skills (~/.pi/skills).

Why CDLC projection exists

Because the same concept maps onto a different native shape per tool, you author once in .covenant/cdlc/ and project to every executor. One authored agent becomes a file in .claude/agents and .opencode/agent, a managed block in AGENTS.md for codex/copilot, and a skill in ~/.pi/skills.

AGENT_DIRS = .claude/agents, .opencode/agent
SKILL_DIRS = .claude/skills, ~/.pi/skills
memory     = AGENTS.md (codex/opencode/hermes),
             copilot-instructions.md (copilot),
             .hermes.md (hermes, only if it already exists)

The Covenant tool in the Capabilities page exposes this via Project to executors, which runs the same export engine.
