# Bare OS agent — Markdown workspace
This tree follows the **agent** Markdown workspace convention: “soul” files under **`workspace/`** define personality, rules, and memory. **`/bin/agent`** loads them into the LLM **system prompt** on each session (after seeding from **`/share/agent-workspace/`** on the system drive if `~/.agent/workspace/SOUL.md` is missing).
## Layout (personal Hyperdrive)
| Path | Role |
| --- | --- |
| **`~/.agent/workspace/`** | Agent brain — **git-trackable**, portable across peers |
| **`~/.agent/workspace/skills/`** | Modular **skills** — one folder per skill, each with **`SKILL.md`** (optional YAML frontmatter) |
| **`~/.agent/workspace/memory/`** | Daily append logs `YYYY-MM-DD.md` (optional) |
| **`~/.agent/skills/`** | Optional **global** skills (lower precedence than `workspace/skills/` when names collide) |
| **`~/.agent/config.json`** | API URL, key, model (existing agent config) |
| **`~/.agent/skill-loader.js`** | Host stub for `discoverSkills` / `loadSkill` (in-image agent uses bundled discovery + **`read_skill`** tool) |
| **`~/.agent/loader.js`** | Stub / hook for **host-side** experimentation (not used by `/bin/agent` bundle) |
| **`~/.agent/index.js`** | Stub factory reference (in-image agent uses built-in loader) |
## Skills
1. Add a directory under **`~/.agent/workspace/skills/<skill-id>/`** with a **`SKILL.md`** file.
2. Use YAML frontmatter for **`name`**, **`description`**, **`version`**, etc. The compact system prompt lists **id**, **name**, and a short **description** only.
3. During a session, the model loads the full document with the **`read_skill`** tool (do not paste huge skills into the user channel unless asked).
4. Shared skills can live under **`~/.agent/skills/`**; keep **`workspace/skills/`** for machine-local or repo-specific behavior.
Seeded examples in this repo (under **`skills/`**): **`p2p-os-status`**, **`bare-os-kernel-proc`**, **`bare-os-super-developer`**, **`holesail`** (Holesail tunnels / initd; stock **`bare-www-*`** pairs with **`bare-os-www`** on **`~/.www`**), and **`hdms`** (Hyperdrive mounts and invite/pair).
After **`agent --config`** / **`--setup`** (or changing **`owner_name`** / **`agent_label`** via **`edit_agent_config`**), **`IDENTITY.md`** and **`USER.md`** are regenerated from **`config.json`** so the workspace matches the operator and agent label.
## Editing
1. Change files under **`~/.agent/workspace/`** on your **personal** drive.
2. Restart **`agent`** or start a new session so the system message reloads.
3. Keep **`SOUL.md`** / **`AGENTS.md`** stable within a session if you follow the drift guard in **`AGENTS.md`**.
## Defaults in this repository
Source templates: **`packages/bare-os-coreutils/share/agent-workspace/`** — copied to **`kernel/share/agent-workspace/`** during **`npm run build -w bare-os-coreutils`** for seeding into new homes.
## Compatibility
File names and load order match common **agent** Markdown layouts so templates can be dropped into **`workspace/`** with minimal edits.
