Here is a brief, Digambar-only view of Agam:

• What it is: Agam (Āgama) means the Jain canonical scriptures—spoken by the Tirthankaras and their immediate disciples—containing the core doctrines, ethics, and path (dharma, sila, bhakti, and veneration) taught in the Jain tradition.

• Digambar stance: In Digambar Jainism, the Agams are considered the primary, authoritative body of scriptures. They emphasize the purport of Mahavira’s teachings as preserved through an unbroken oral tradition and later codified by the monastic line. Digambaras tend to hold that not all early texts survived in their original form, and they reject certain later or sect-specific fabrications that appeared in other traditions.

• Organization (high-level): The traditional framework groups core teachings into primary texts (often referred to as Anga) and supplementary or ancillary texts (Upanga and other branches). The emphasis is on the original, austere path taught by Mahavira, including non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), renunciation, and the gradual path to liberation.

• Key emphasis: Direct transmission of Mahavira’s doctrine, the necessity of disciplined monastic practice, strict asceticism, and the ultimate goal of kevala jnana (omniscient knowledge) leading to nirvana. Digambar texts commonly stress renunciation, the sanctity of vows, and the discipline required to progress on the spiritual path.

Note: If you’d like, I can present the exact Digambara framing of Agam categories (Anga, Upanga, etc.) and how they differ from other Jain traditions, with specific verses and terms.
