+# Internal URLs
+Most tools resolve custom protocol URLs to internal resources (not web URLs):
+- `skill://<name>` — Skill's SKILL.md content
+- `skill://<name>/<path>` — Relative file within skill directory
+- `rule://<name>` — Rule content by name
+- `memory://root` — Project memory summary (`memory_summary.md`)
+- `memory://root/<path>` — Relative file under project memory root
+- `pi://` — List of available documentation files
+- `pi://<file>.md` — Specific documentation file
+- `agent://<id>` — Full agent output artifact
+- `agent://<id>/<path>` — JSON field extraction via path (jq-like: `.foo.bar[0]`)
+- `agent://<id>?q=<query>` — JSON field extraction via query param
+- `artifact://<id>` — Raw artifact content (truncated tool output)
+- `local://PLAN.md` — Default plan scratch file for the current session
+- `local://<TITLE>.md` — Finalized plan artifact created after `exit_plan_mode` approval
+- `jobs://` — All background job statuses
+- `jobs://<job-id>` — Specific job status and result

+In `bash`, URIs auto-resolve to filesystem paths (e.g., `python skill://my-skill/scripts/init.py`).
