They are not part of Emacs.  Almost all of them are from MELPA, which
package.el by default doesn't even access.  The Emacs project is not
responsible for those packages.

I have no idea which of these support AGENTS.md.

However, from my POV, these are not different from any other LLM-based
agent out there; the fact that they use Emacs infrastructure and Emacs
Lisp programs as a front end for LLMs is not relevant to this
discussion.  I don't think whether they do or don't has any special
importance for this discussion: they are just LLM harnesses, not
unlike any other harness.
