Skills library on core-agent

cli-setup skill

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The cli-setup skill walks a user through configuring core-agent for interactive use. It’s bundled in SKILLS/cli-setup/ at the repo root.

What it covers

The four customization layers, in order:

Provider + model — .agents/config.json
Personality — AGENTS.md
Skills — .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
Tools — built-ins + MCP servers

Plus permission posture (ask / allow / yolo modes, allowlist patterns) and the verify-it-works step.

Triggers

The skill’s description lists the verbatim phrasings the agent will match. The most common:

autonomous-setup skill

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The autonomous-setup skill walks a user through configuring an unattended core-agent — single-agent monitor or multi-agent team. Bundled in SKILLS/autonomous-setup/.

What it covers

A 9-step runbook:

Decide if autonomous actually fits (vs interactive + attach)
Define the goal crisply
Pick single-agent or multi-agent shape
Bound the run with budget caps
Write AGENTS.md with unattended discipline
Set headless permission posture
Wire durable sessions
Write the Go driver
Test end-to-end before deployment

The runbook is non-linear; the agent picks references based on which path the user is on.

library-embedding skill

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The library-embedding skill walks a Go developer through embedding core-agent in their own binary. Bundled in SKILLS/library-embedding/.

What it covers

A 5-step runbook:

Confirm the use case (CLI use vs library use)
Show the minimal embed (20-line “hello world”)
Identify which extension point the user needs
Show a full worked example for non-trivial embeddings
Discuss long-term maintenance (go.mod pinning, breaking-change policy)

The extension points covered include Prompter, custom tools, custom Provider, custom session.Service, Compactor / Checkpointer, BackgroundAgentManager, and RemoteAgentSpawner.
