OpAgent components are directories with Markdown manifests and YAML front matter. The Runtime scans global tools, then skills, then agents from its base directory.

AGENT.md defines a stable id, name, description, supported opcodes, mounted
resources, and optional run.command or run.url. Relative entries resolve
inside .agent; base-directory references use @agents, @skills, or
@tools.
The included Coder is a generic stdio endpoint agent. Simple Memory is a
manifest-only subagent that maintains ${agentRoot}/memory.md and deliberately
avoids secrets and transient state.
A TOOL.md describes a tool server or managed command. Local run.command
endpoints use stdio; remote run.url endpoints require host authorization.
Built-in filesystem and shell tools are implemented by Runtime and do not need
a TOOL.md.
The rg-search package describes a managed ripgrep executable staged at
<baseDir>/bin/rg[.exe].
A SKILL.md is readable workflow guidance, not an implicit executable or
permission grant. An agent mounts a global skill with @skills/<slug> or an
agent-local directory with a relative path. The model reads the full file only
when the workflow matches.
The Word Document skill includes a dependency-free Go helper for deterministic DOCX inspection, comments, redlines, revision application, and validation. It performs no network requests and refuses unsafe packages or in-place writes.
An agent is delegatable only when it is scanned, mounted by its parent, and
supports thread/submit. Runtime injects the agent_task tool only when a
valid mounted subagent exists. Child threads inherit the parent's working
directory when possible and receive an exact copy of the parent's permission
snapshot.
scripts/build-components.shSet GOOS, GOARCH, and optionally OPAGENT_COMPONENT_OUTPUT_DIR for
cross-compilation. Set OPAGENT_RG_BIN to stage an already obtained ripgrep
binary for the target platform; the script never downloads it implicitly.
