Agent Atlas is a public reference for concepts associated with intelligent agents. Entries explain documented uses, conceptual boundaries, and relationships, with citations to published sources.

Agent foundations

What is an agent, and how does it interact with an environment? Begin with Agent, then explore Agent foundations through Action, Observation, Belief state, and Policy.

Memory and information

What information is retained, retrieved, and available now? Explore Memory and information through Context window, Agent memory, and Retrieval-augmented generation.

Communication and interpretation

How do participants understand language and one another? Explore Communication and interpretation through Pragmatics, Common ground, Conversational grounding, and Theory of mind.

Design and organizational decision-making

How are goals pursued under limited resources, and how are decisions coordinated? Explore Design and organizational decision-making through Bounded rationality, Satisficing, and Decision premises.

These themes are reading routes, not an exhaustive classification. Crosslinks connect concepts across themes; a graph edge does not by itself imply equivalence or agreement between theories. Each entry identifies the scope and sources behind its claims.
