Docs

Everything you need to know about how Kritak organizes and reviews its content.

The inclusion rule

Kritak includes anything that takes multi-step action on a user's behalf — autonomous agents, agentic dev tools, agent frameworks, workflow agents, and the agentic modes of larger AI products. It excludes pure chatbots and assistants where the user drives every turn.

This rule is what we use to accept or reject submissions. If you're not sure whether something qualifies, ask yourself: does it do something between user turns? If yes, it's probably an agent. If no, it's probably a chatbot.

The 9 categories

Every agent on Kritak fits in exactly one category. We chose nine because it forms a clean 3×3 grid and because nine was enough to cover what we wanted to cover, with no “Other” bucket.

  • Coding — writes, edits, runs, ships code
  • Research — searches, reads, synthesizes, cites
  • Browser & Web — navigates, clicks, fills forms
  • Workflow & Automation — orchestrates apps and tasks
  • Data & Analytics — queries databases, builds charts
  • Writing & Content — drafts, edits, repurposes content
  • Sales, Marketing & Support — customer-facing communication
  • Voice & Calling — makes and answers phone calls
  • Frameworks & SDKs — build your own agent

The 5 types

Type is a secondary filter that captures what kind of thing the agent is:

  • Autonomous — acts independently across multi-step tasks (Devin, Manus)
  • Dev Tool — IDE/CLI agent for developers (Claude Code, Cursor)
  • Framework — library/SDK to build agents (LangGraph, CrewAI)
  • Workflow — visual or scripted automation (n8n, Zapier Agents)
  • Agentic Mode — agentic feature within a larger product (Operator, Computer Use)

The agent schema

Every agent entry is a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter:

The curator note template

Every agent entry has a curator note: three short paragraphs that help readers decide quickly whether the agent is worth their time. Markdown body, ~100–250 words total.

Paragraph 1: What it does well. The case for. What makes this agent distinctive? What does it nail that others miss?

Paragraph 2: Where it falls short. The case against. What are the rough edges? What does it not do, or do badly?

Paragraph 3: Who should use it. The decision. What kind of person is this for? Who should pick something else?

The image prompt schema

Image prompts use a separate, simpler schema:

---
title: Cyberpunk neon portrait
description: Moody cinematic close-up with neon rim lighting.
model: midjourney
model_version: v7
category: portrait
style: [cyberpunk, neon, cinematic]
prompt: "cinematic portrait of a young woman, neon rim lighting, rain-soaked streets, shallow depth of field, kodak portra 400 film grain"
parameters: "--ar 16:9 --stylize 750 --v 7"
example_image: /images/prompts/cyberpunk-portrait.webp
example_image_alt: "A young woman lit by pink and cyan neon, rain on her face."

How curation works

Kritak is in Phase 1 right now. We're writing the seed catalog ourselves to set the editorial bar. The community can already submit suggestions via GitHub issues. As the project matures we'll open up full pull-request submissions and eventually appoint co-editors with merge rights.
