MAS-Lab: A Specification-Driven Validation Framework for Reliable Multi-Agent Systems Jordan Augé, Giovanna Carofiglio, Giulio Grassi, Jacques Samain arXiv:2606.30546 [cs.MA] — published 2026-06-29 https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.30546

Context. The paper cites Agent Manifest: Core Declarative Specification v1.0 (Capucci, 2026) in its introduction, as one of the existing declarative specification formats for agents, alongside Open Agent Specification.

Quote (Section 1, Introduction):

“Existing formats such as Open Agent Specification and Agent Manifest (Amini et al., 2025; Capucci, 2026; Härer, 2025) address parts of this need but still describe mostly static structure, leaving behavior and dynamics under-specified.”

Positioning note. MAS-Lab operates at the runtime, validation, and evaluation layers. Agent Manifest operates at the declaration layer and is static by design (see docs/MISCONCEPTIONS.md). The two are architecturally complementary. A detailed comparison is available in docs/comparison-mas-lab.md.

This citation does not imply any affiliation, endorsement, or collaboration between the authors of MAS-Lab and the author of Agent Manifest.
