-
24
- ## Packability and Runtime Portability
25
-
26
- Treat an agent project as an installable Standard Agent package, not as a
27
- privileged extension of one runtime. Everything required for the declared
28
- agents to execute must use capabilities defined by the Standard Agent
29
- Specification and exported with the package.
30
-
31
- Do not make required behavior depend on private Durable Object methods,
32
- implementation-specific storage schemas or bindings, undocumented HTTP or
33
- WebSocket events, product sidecars that replace runtime behavior, or
34
- ThreadState._notPackableRuntimeContext. Client-side state may be an
35
- optimistic cache, but it must not become the only source of truth for agent
36
- semantics.
37
-
38
- If the specification lacks a required primitive, define the runtime-neutral
39
- capability in @standardagents/spec, document it in the public specification,
40
- implement it generically in the runtime, and add conformance coverage before
41
- the agent relies on it. Authentication, billing, deployment, and branded UI
42
- services may remain external as long as they are not required for the packed
43
- agent's core execution semantics.
44
-
45
- ## Packaging and Definition Visibility
46
-
47
- The packer follows side \`subagents\` relationships and includes child agents
48
- and their dependencies. This includes hidden children and relationships with
49
- \`as\`. The package includes referenced handlers and exports a \`handlers\`
50
- registry. The pack and unpack dialogs list handlers. Unpack analysis reports an agent\u2019s handlers and side \`subagents\` relationships.
51
- In the pack dialog, a handler defaults to extract. Shared handlers default to copy. Extract removes
52
- the local file; copy keeps it. Dependencies reached by another local agent,
53
- including through its children, default to copy.
54
-
55
- The runtime discovers packages in \`node_modules\` and \`agents/packed/\`.
56
- It loads definitions from lazy registries and \`__meta\` exported by each
57
- package entry module. A malformed \`package.json\` or missing or invalid
58
- \`__meta\` produces a warning and the runtime skips that package.
59
-
60
- \`ThreadState.loadModel\`, \`loadPrompt\`, and \`loadAgent\` enforce package
61
- visibility. Global code can load unpacked definitions and packed entry agents.
62
- Packed code can load its own definitions and other packages' entry agents.
63
- A packed model cannot fall back to a host model with the same short name.
64
- A refused load returns the same not-found error as a missing definition.
65
-
66
- ## How Components Compose
67
-
68
- ### Basic Flow
69
- 1. User creates a thread with an agent
70
- 2. Agent uses its configured prompt
71
- 3. Prompt specifies the model and tools
72
- 4. LLM responds, potentially calling tools
73
- 5. Tools execute and return results
74
- 6. Loop continues until stop condition
75
-
76
- ### Sub-Prompts (Prompts as Tools)
77
- Prompts can call other prompts as tools. This enables:
78
- - **Specialized reasoning**: A main prompt delegates to expert sub-prompts
79
- - **Structured outputs**: Sub-prompt validates and formats data
80
- - **Context isolation**: Sub-prompt gets fresh context without full history
14
+ - A **model** names an LLM and the provider that serves it.
15
+ - A **prompt** holds system instructions, picks a model, and lists the tools the model may call.
16
+ - An **agent** is a conversation between two sides. Each side is a person (\`{ human: true }\`), a prompt (\`{ prompt: 'name' }\`), or a handler (\`{ handler: 'name' }\`, plain code).
17
+ - A **thread** is one running conversation with an agent. It has its own message history, files, and key-value store.

32
+
33
+ ## The starter agent
34
+
35
+ A project created through the Standard Agents platform starts with one working agent, **Guide**. It answers questions about building agents and about the Standard Agent Specification. Run the project, choose **Guide**, and send a message; it needs no file edits and no provider key.
36
+
37
+ | File | What it is |
38
+ |------|------------|
39
+ | \`agents/agents/guide_agent.ts\` | The agent \`guide_agent\`: the prompt \`guide\` on one side, a person on the other |
40
+ | \`agents/prompts/guide.ts\` | The prompt \`guide\`: its instructions, the model \`low_cost\`, and the tool \`read_docs\` |
41
+ | \`agents/models/low_cost.ts\` | The model \`low_cost\`: a low-cost open model served by Novita AI, paid for by the platform account key |
42
+ | \`agents/tools/read_docs.ts\` | The tool \`read_docs\`: reads a page from the builder documentation or the specification site, and no other site |
43
+
44
+ Guide reads the published documentation each time it answers, so it stays current without a code change. It cannot read or change the files in this project.
45
+
46
+ These four are ordinary definition files. Read them as a working example, change them, or delete them once the project has its own agents. Before deleting \`agents/models/low_cost.ts\` or \`agents/tools/read_docs.ts\`, check that no other prompt uses them. If a project does not have these files, nothing else depends on them.
47
+
48
+ ## Build your first agent
49
+
50
+ A working agent needs three files: a model, a prompt that uses it, and an agent that uses the prompt. Create them as written.

- ### Agent Handoffs (Agents as Tools)
92
- Agents can delegate to other agents entirely:
93
- - **Specialization**: Route to domain-specific agents

- - **Escalation**: Hand off to more capable agents
95
- - **Workflows**: Chain agents for multi-step processes

96
+ Open \`http://localhost:5173\`, sign in with your Standard Agents account, choose **Assistant**, and send a message. A project with no account link signs in with the \`SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD\` set in \`.dev.vars\` instead. Use the package manager whose lockfile is in the project (\`npm run dev\`, \`yarn dev\`, or \`bun run dev\` work the same way). If port 5173 is in use, the dev server takes the next free port and prints its address.
97
+
98
+ New and changed files under \`agents/\` load without a restart. Restart the dev server after you install a package or change \`.dev.vars\`.
99
+
100
+ ## Model access and keys
101
+
102
+ This project is linked to a Standard Agents platform account. The CLI wrote that account's key to \`.dev.vars\` as \`STANDARD_AGENTS_API_KEY\`, and deployed projects receive it automatically. The key covers every provider package this project installs, so the example above runs without any provider account:
103
+
104
+ | Provider | Package | Import |
105
+ |----------|---------|--------|
106
+ | OpenAI | \`@standardagents/openai\` | \`openai\` |
107
+ | Anthropic | \`@standardagents/anthropic\` | \`anthropic\` |
108
+ | Google | \`@standardagents/google\` | \`google\` |
109
+ | OpenRouter | \`@standardagents/openrouter\` | \`openrouter\` |
110
+ | xAI | \`@standardagents/xai\` | \`xai\` |
111
+ | Groq | \`@standardagents/groq\` | \`groq\` |
112
+ | Cerebras | \`@standardagents/cerebras\` | \`cerebras\` |
113
+ | DeepInfra | \`@standardagents/deepinfra\` | \`deepinfra\` |
114
+ | Novita AI | \`@standardagents/novita\` | \`novita\` |
115
+ | Cloudflare Workers AI | \`@standardagents/cloudflare\` | \`cloudflare\` |
116
+
117
+ Usage through the platform key is billed to the platform account. To use your own provider account, set that provider's key in \`.dev.vars\`; see \`agents/models/AGENTS.md\`. A project without \`STANDARD_AGENTS_API_KEY\` needs a provider key for each provider it uses.
118
+
119
+ Never guess a model ID. Take it from the provider's published model list, or from the current model guide:

141
- The \`builder()\` Vite plugin generates the Worker entry, Durable Object bindings, Cloudflare Vite plugin configuration, and local \`.agents/\` support files at build time. Agent files are **auto-discovered** at runtime. No manual registration needed.
142
-
143
- Standalone local pnpm init approves \`esbuild\` and \`workerd\` before installing dependencies.
144
- The project policy lives in \`pnpm-workspace.yaml\`.
145
- The manifest also declares \`pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies\` for pnpm 10.
146
- The YAML declares the project root for pnpm 9 compatibility.
147
- With pnpm 9 or pnpm 10 before 10.6, \`pnpm add --workspace-root <package>\` targets that project root.
148
- pnpm 11 may warn that the legacy manifest field is ignored.
149
- The YAML supplies its build approvals.
150
- An existing project policy is preserved.
151
- Local OpenRouter setup explicitly denies the SDK's optional model-type check.
152
- That checker writes no runtime artifacts.
153
- The CLI detects unsupported legacy layouts with pnpm's parser.
154
- Those layouts use \`--ignore-workspace\` during installation and foreground startup.
155
- Supported layouts retain their YAML build approvals.
156
- An enclosing pnpm workspace retains its policy and installation boundary.
157
- Contributor \`--workspace\` projects use their own policy boundary.
158
- The generated policy exempts \`@standardagents/*\` from \`minimumReleaseAge\`.
159
- That exemption permits installation on the release day.
160
-
161
- For remote local development, opt exact hostnames into the authoring boundary:

131
+ - The builder UI shows the same failure in a banner at the top of the page. A model, prompt, or agent that fails to load is missing from its list until the file is fixed.
132
+ - A \`Cannot find module\` failure names a package that is not installed. Add it with the project's package manager, then restart the dev server.
133
+ - Each thread in the builder UI has a Logs tab with every model request, tool call, and error.

161
+
162
+ ## Naming
163
+
164
+ - A model, prompt, or agent is named by its \`name\` field. Keep the file name the same.
165
+ - A tool or handler is named by its file name: \`agents/tools/search_docs.ts\` is the tool \`search_docs\`.
166
+ - A hook is named by its \`id\` field.
167
+ - Use \`snake_case\` for all of these. End agent names with \`_agent\`.
168
+ - A tool, a prompt, and an agent exposed as a tool share one namespace. Give them different names.
169
+
170
+ ## Composing agents
171
+
172
+ A prompt's \`tools\` array can hold three kinds of names:
173
+
174
+ - A tool from \`agents/tools/\`.
175
+ - Another prompt. The model calls it as a tool and gets its answer back. Use this for one focused model step, such as extraction or rewriting.
176
+ - An agent with \`exposeAsTool: true\`. Calling it hands the same thread to that agent.
177
+
178
+ An agent side can also declare \`subagents\`. Each subagent runs in its own thread, and the parent starts and messages it with built-in tools. Use a subagent for work that takes several steps or needs its own review loop. See \`agents/agents/AGENTS.md\`.
179
+
180
+ Prefer several small agents with a few tools each over one agent with many tools. Models choose tools more reliably from a short list.
171
181
 
172
182
  ## ThreadState
173
183
 
174
- \`ThreadState\` is the state object available in tools and hooks:

215
- \`state.arguments\` is read-only thread invocation data. Resumable \`subagent_create.arguments\` persists with the child thread, is visible to both child sides, and is also available as prompt variables. Use \`state.context\` only for mutable scratch data during the current execution; it is not durable storage.
216
-
217
- \`state.runtimeStreams\` is optional. Feature-detect it before opening a live
218
- byte stream. Capability names and metadata are runtime-defined; streams never
219
- park or survive an execution-host disconnect. See the tools guide for a full
220
- feature-detection, write, read, and cleanup example.
221
-
222
- \`state.emit(event, data)\` works from tools, hooks, and thread endpoints. In
223
- an endpoint it broadcasts immediately even though there is no active
224
- execution, which is useful for invalidating client snapshots after a durable
225
- \`setValue()\`. Events are not durable; clients must re-read state after
226
- reconnecting.
227
-
228
- \`state.status()\` returns the authoritative run status. \`reason\` is the raw
229
- stop code of the last run (\`stop_on_response\`, \`awaiting_human\`,
230
- \`hook_blocked\`, \`step_error\`, \u2026); a run that handed the turn to a human
231
- side is \`idle\`. Clients get the same value from \`GET /api/threads/:id\`
232
- (\`status\`) and from \`thread_status\` stream frames (snapshot on connect, then
233
- each change), so never poll for it. It is unrelated to \`setStatus()\`.
234
-
235
- \`state.log({ name, message, level, status, trigger, request, response, error, duration_ms, cost, data })\`
236
- records an application log row (\`kind: 'app'\`) shown with the thread's logs;
237
- only \`name\` is required. For an operation, record its outcome (\`status\`:
238
- success | error | skipped), what caused it (\`trigger: { kind, id?, summary? }\`),
239
- what was sent (\`request\`), what came back (\`response\` or \`error\`), and its
240
- \`duration_ms\` and \`cost\` (USD; counted in the thread's cost totals). It never creates a message or starts
241
- execution; oversized fields are truncated (name 120 chars, message and error
242
- 4 KiB, data JSON 16 KiB, request and response JSON 64 KiB each).
243
-
244
- \`runCode\` has no implicit access to thread state, filesystem, network, timers, or host globals. Bridge only the exact capabilities needed through \`imports\` or \`globals\`; use \`modules\` for local relative ES modules; use \`execute\` to select the export and args to run. \`modules\` keys are graph-root relative paths; entry-source imports resolve from \`filename\` when supplied, including \`../\` parent paths that stay inside the supplied graph. TypeScript input is accepted by default and erased before evaluation. In thread endpoints, \`runCode\` forwards functions in imports, globals, and execution arguments as callable proxies. Call \`run.terminate(reason)\` to stop the sandbox. A caller disconnect also stops the run. When \`report\` is supplied, the host receives reports during the run and \`run.reports\` updates as reports arrive.
205
+ \`agents/tools/AGENTS.md\` shows these in use. The full type is \`ThreadState\` in \`@standardagents/spec\`.
245
206
 
246
- ## Subagents
207
+ ## Development from another machine
247
208
 
248
- A subagent is any agent composed as a child of another agent. Relationships are declared in the \`subagents\` array of a prompt- or handler-backed agent side (never inside a prompt's \`tools\` array):
209
+ The \`dev\` script binds the dev server to \`127.0.0.1\`, so other machines cannot reach it. Keep it that way: \`.dev.vars\` holds a live account key.
249
210
 
250
- - Each subagent runs in its own thread (\`DurableThread\`)
251
- - Parent/child linkage is tracked in thread metadata; instances are visible in \`state.children\`
252
- - The relationship's owning side is where child traffic lands; parent\u2192child traffic enters in the child's side B perspective (\`role: 'user'\`), so the child's side A acts on it
253
- - For a prompt-backed owning side, the runtime injects the lifecycle tools \`subagents\`, \`subagent_create\`, and \`subagent_message\`; handler-backed sides reach children through \`ThreadState\` directly
254
- - \`subagent_create.arguments\` is validated from the receiving child's side A prompt schema and persists as \`ThreadState.arguments\` plus prompt variables for the life of the child thread
255
- - Child completion results are queued back to the parent when \`parentCommunication\` is \`implicit\`
256
- - Explicit relationships can stay idle until code calls \`state.notifyParent()\` or \`state.setStatus()\`; use \`state.stopSession({ result, notifyParent, status })\` when a tool should also terminally end the child session
257
- - Persistence is universal: a child's session ending never terminates its thread. The same reference remains addressable for later \`subagent_message\` calls; only explicit \`state.terminate()\` tears the thread down.
211
+ To work from another machine, forward a hostname you trust to the local port, for example through an SSH tunnel or a private reverse proxy. Then list that exact hostname for both Vite and the builder:

265
- const count = (await state.getValue<number>('invocation_count')) ?? 0;

298
- AgentBuilder bounds each Durable Object alarm invocation to 1,000,000 SQLite
299
- rows read and 10,000 rows written. A breach persistently quarantines that one
300
- object, clears its alarm, preserves all storage, and requires an explicit
301
- resume. Routine alarm rows are deleted when completed; effect history remains
302
- available with bounded retention. Deployments integrated with Brolly configure
303
- \`BROLLY_CONTROL_PUBLIC_KEY_JWK\` and \`BROLLY_ACCOUNT_ID\`; the built-in signed
304
- \`POST /api/auth/brolly-control\` route can then quarantine an exact object ID.
230
+ On a plan that includes deployment, the platform builds and deploys this project each time you push a commit:
305
231
 
306
- Do not expose the Brolly private signing key to the AgentBuilder Worker. Do not
307
- disable the retention sweeper except as a temporary rollback while diagnosing

- ## Provider Tools
371
-
372
- Providers can expose built-in tools such as search, file search, code execution,
373
- or provider-specific tools through their \`getTools()\` implementation. Enable the
374
- provider tool names on the model with \`providerTools\`; prompts can then include
375
- those tools like normal tool names. Provider tools execute on the upstream
376
- provider, not in AgentBuilder, and successful calls are logged as provider tool
377
- entries.
378
-
379
- OpenRouter exposes \`web_search\`, \`web_fetch\`, \`datetime\`, and \`image_generation\`
380
- as provider-executed server tools. Configure optional OpenRouter parameters with
381
- \`providerOptions.serverTools\` on the model.
382
-
383
- ## Recommended Models (OpenRouter)
384
-
385
- | Use Case | Model ID | Description |
386
- |----------|----------|-------------|
387
- | Fast/Cheap | \`z-ai/glm-4.5-air\` | Quick responses, low cost |
388
- | Mid-tier | \`google/gemini-3-flash-preview\` | Good balance of speed and quality |
389
- | Cheap Heavy | \`nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b\` | Frontier open reasoning and orchestration, still affordable |
390
- | Heavy | \`google/gemini-3-pro-preview\` | Most capable, for complex tasks |
391
-
392
- **\u26A0\uFE0F Google Models**: When using Google models (\`google/gemini-*\`), you must enable \`reasoning\` in your prompt configuration or tool calls will fail. See the prompts AGENTS.md for details.
393
-
394
- ## Provider API Keys
395
-
396
- Set these environment variables in \`.dev.vars\` (local) or Cloudflare secrets (production):
397
-
398
- | Provider | Environment Variable |
399
- |----------|---------------------|
400
- | Cloudflare Workers AI | \`CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN\` + \`CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID\` |
401
- | Cerebras | \`CEREBRAS_API_KEY\` |
402
- | DeepInfra | \`DEEPINFRA_API_KEY\` |
403
- | Groq | \`GROQ_API_KEY\` |
404
- | Novita AI | \`NOVITA_API_KEY\` |
405
- | OpenAI | \`OPENAI_API_KEY\` |
406
- | Anthropic | \`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY\` |
407
- | OpenRouter | \`OPENROUTER_API_KEY\` |
408
- | Baseten Model APIs | \`BASETEN_API_KEY\` |
409
- | Google | \`GOOGLE_API_KEY\` |
410
- | xAI | \`XAI_API_KEY\` |
411
- | TypeSafe AI (decisions) | \`TYPESAFE_AI_API_KEY\` |
412
-
413
- If \`STANDARD_AGENTS_API_KEY\` is present and a provider-specific key is not set,
414
- first-party Standard Agents providers route through the hosted Standard Agents
415
- router. Setting a provider-specific key always uses that provider directly.
416
- Hosted instances reach the router through the \`STANDARD_AGENTS_ROUTER\` service
417
- binding when the platform provides it, including from thread endpoints. If the
418
- router cannot be reached, request logs record \`error_origin: platform-router\`
419
- instead of blaming the model provider.
420
-
421
- ## Decision providers
422
-
423
- Automatic decision logging is an AgentBuilder feature, outside the spec contract.
424
-
425
- TypeSafe AI (\`@standardagents/typesafe\`) evaluates typed questions through
426
- \`state.decide({ provider: typesafe, model: 'jev-latest', context, questions })\`.
427
- It is a decision provider, so use a conversational provider for \`defineModel\`
428
- and prompt-backed sides. Configure \`TYPESAFE_AI_API_KEY\` for BYOK.
429
- Credentials may be scoped to a user/thread; destination URLs must come from
430
- trusted instance-admin or deployment configuration.
431
-
432
- Supply explicit string/object/array context and named \`choice\` questions with
433
- \`options\`, \`score\` questions with ordered \`levels\`, or \`boolean\` questions with
434
- optional true/false criteria. Write complete instructions and meaningful option
435
- or level descriptions. The provider maps context to native state, options/levels
436
- to criteria, and boolean to noul. Answers preserve distributions, legends, and
437
- confidence; boolean answers contain a 0\u20131 \`probability\` whose threshold you choose.
438
- Thread calls persist operation and cost logs even before the first message;
439
- use \`state.injectMessage()\` explicitly when a result belongs in history. See
440
- \`@standardagents/typesafe/README.md\` for the complete conversion contract.
441
-
442
- ## User-Defined Providers
443
-
444
- Create \`agents/providers/<name>.ts\` when a provider is compatible with an existing
445
- provider package but needs its own API key, endpoint, icon, model list, pricing, or
446
- other provider behavior.
286
+ This works in a platform-linked project as written. The project already installs \`@standardagents/openai\`, and the platform key in \`.dev.vars\` pays for the request.
447
287
 
448
- \`\`\`typescript
449
- // agents/providers/darkbloom.ts
450
- import { defineProvider, providerEnv } from '@standardagents/spec';
451
- import { openai } from '@standardagents/openai';
288
+ ## Providers this project has
452
289
 
453
- export default defineProvider({
454

- valueType: 'url',
461
- default: 'https://api.darkbloom.dev/v1',
462
- }),

303
+ | Cloudflare Workers AI | \`@standardagents/cloudflare\` | \`cloudflare\` | \`CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN\` and \`CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID\` |
304
+
305
+ If \`package.json\` does not list a provider package, add it with the project's package manager (for example \`pnpm add @standardagents/openai\`) and restart the dev server. A model whose provider package is missing fails with \`Cannot find module\`, and the builder UI shows that failure in a banner.
306
+
307
+ ## Keys
308
+
309
+ The project needs no provider account. When no key is set for a provider, requests to it use \`STANDARD_AGENTS_API_KEY\`, the platform account key that the CLI wrote to \`.dev.vars\`. The platform bills that usage to the account.
310
+
311
+ To use your own provider account, set the variable from the last column of the table in \`.dev.vars\`. A provider key always takes precedence over the platform key for that provider. For a deployed project, set the same variable in the project's settings on the platform.
312
+
313
+ A provider you define in \`agents/providers/\` always uses its own key. The platform key does not cover it.
314
+
315
+ A model whose provider has no key fails its run. The thread transcript names the variable to set and where to set it, and the Providers page in the builder UI marks the provider "Not configured". A missing key is not retried on the same model; fallback models on other providers still run. For other failures, the transcript shows the kind of failure and the thread's Logs tab holds the full error.
316
+
317
+ ## Choosing a model ID
318
+
319
+ Model IDs change often. Take them from the provider's published model list instead of writing them from memory. Two commands help:
320
+
321
+ \`\`\`bash
322
+ npx @standardagents/cli@latest current-models
323
+ npx @standardagents/cli@latest available-models --provider=openai
465
324
  \`\`\`
466
325
 
326
+ The first prints a current guide to which models suit which work. The second lists every ID a provider serves, and needs that provider's own key in \`.dev.vars\`; the platform key alone is not enough for it.
327
+
328
+ OpenRouter IDs include the lab, such as \`google/gemini-2.5-flash\`. Other providers use the lab's own ID, such as \`gpt-5.4-mini\`.
329
+
330
+ ## Fallbacks
331
+
332
+ \`fallbacks\` names other models defined in this project. Each must exist in \`agents/models/\`.
333
+
467
334
  \`\`\`typescript
468
- // agents/models/darkbloom_chat.ts
335
+ // agents/models/reliable.ts
469
336
  import { defineModel } from '@standardagents/builder';
470
- import darkbloom from '../providers/darkbloom';
337
+ import { openrouter } from '@standardagents/openrouter';
471
338
 
472
339
  export default defineModel({
473
- name: 'darkbloom_chat',
474
- provider: darkbloom,
475
- model: 'darkbloom-chat',
340
+ name: 'reliable',
341
+ provider: openrouter,
342
+ model: 'google/gemini-2.5-flash',
343
+ fallbacks: ['fast'],
476
344
  });
477
345
  \`\`\`
478
346
 
479
- Provider \`overrides\` can replace behavior such as \`getModels\`, \`getIcon\`,
480
- \`getTools\`, pricing/capability lookup, \`generate\`, or \`stream\`. Call \`next()\`
481
- inside an override to compose with the base provider; return your own value to
482
- replace it.
347
+ A failed request is retried once on the same model, then each fallback is tried in order with the same two attempts. Network errors, rate limits (429), server errors (5xx), and authentication errors (401) trigger a retry.
483
348
 
484
- ## Fallback Strategy
349
+ ## Provider tools
485
350
 
486
- When a model fails, fallbacks are tried in order:
487
- 1. Primary model (2 attempts)
488
- 2. First fallback (2 attempts)
489
- 3. Second fallback (2 attempts)
490
- 4. ...and so on
491
-
492
- Retries occur on: network errors, rate limits (429), server errors (5xx), auth errors (401).
493
-
494
- ## OpenRouter Configuration
495
-
496
- For OpenRouter, use the full model path:
351
+ Some providers run tools on their own servers, such as web search. List the ones a model should offer in \`providerTools\`. A prompt that uses the model can then put those names in its \`tools\`.
497
352
 
498
353
  \`\`\`typescript
354
+ // agents/models/researcher.ts
499
355
  import { defineModel } from '@standardagents/builder';
500
356
  import { openrouter } from '@standardagents/openrouter';
501
357
 
502
358
  export default defineModel({
503
- name: 'heavy',
359
+ name: 'researcher',
504
360
  provider: openrouter,
505
- model: 'google/gemini-3-pro-preview',
506
- includedProviders: ['google'], // Prefer Google's servers
361
+ model: 'google/gemini-2.5-flash',
362
+ providerTools: ['web_search', 'web_fetch'],
507
363
  });
508
364
  \`\`\`
509
365
 
510
- ## Best Practices
366
+ OpenRouter offers \`web_search\`, \`web_fetch\`, \`datetime\`, and \`image_generation\`. Provider tools run at the provider, and their calls appear in the thread's logs.
367
+
368
+ ## Custom providers
511
369
 
512
- - **Name by use case**, not model ID (e.g., \`fast\`, \`default\`, \`heavy\`)
513
- - **Configure fallbacks** for production reliability
514
- - **Set pricing** for cost tracking in logs when your provider or runtime does not supply it automatically
515
- - **Cerebras note:** documented Cerebras models attach provider-owned \`usage.cost\` values for request logs, but custom/private Cerebras models should still set \`inputPrice\` and \`outputPrice\`
516
- - **DeepInfra note:** the provider reads live pricing from \`/v1/models\` and preserves response-level \`usage.estimated_cost\`; custom catalog endpoints can be configured with the provider's \`modelsUrl\` slot
517
- - **Novita note:** the Novita provider reads live catalog pricing from \`/openai/v1/models\`, including cache-read prices when available, and prices tiered catalog entries (such as MiniMax M3, which doubles from 524,288 prompt tokens) at the tier that matches each request's prompt size; custom/private Novita models should still set \`inputPrice\`, \`outputPrice\`, and \`cachedPrice\`
518
- - **Use environment variables** for API keys, never hardcode
370
+ To reach an API that is compatible with an installed provider package but has its own endpoint and key, define a provider in \`agents/providers/\` and import it here. See \`agents/providers/AGENTS.md\`.
371
+
372
+ ## Practices
373
+
374
+ - Name a model for its job (\`fast\`, \`default\`, \`researcher\`), so a prompt does not change when the model ID does.
375
+ - Set \`inputPrice\` and \`outputPrice\` for a custom or private model. First-party providers report cost for the models they list.
376
+ - Keep keys in \`.dev.vars\` and in platform settings. Never write a key in a source file.

- Provider definitions create named provider factories that wrap a base provider
529
- package with connection config and optional method overrides.
386
+ Most projects never need this directory. The provider packages listed in \`agents/models/AGENTS.md\` already cover the major model providers.
530
387
 
531
- Use \`defineProvider()\` and export the result as the default export:
388
+ Define a provider when an API is compatible with one of those packages but has its own endpoint, key, or behavior. A provider definition wraps a base provider package with different connection settings.
389

549
409

550
410
  \`\`\`
551
411
 
552
- Models can then import the provider definition and use it like any other provider
553
- factory:
412
+ A model imports the provider as a default import:
554
413
 
555
414
  \`\`\`typescript
415
+ // agents/models/acme_chat.ts
556

426

570
427
 
571

572
- definition files.
428
+ ## Configuration values

574
- ## Error attribution
430
+ - \`providerEnv(name, options)\` reads a variable at run time. Use it for keys and for values that differ between environments. \`options\` accepts \`valueType\` (\`'secret'\`, \`'url'\`, or \`'text'\`), \`required\`, \`default\`, and \`description\`.
431
+ - \`providerValue(value)\` is a constant written in the file. Never use it for a key.
575
432
 
576
- When an override catches and rethrows an upstream failure, preserve structured
577
- attribution with \`ProviderError\` instead of putting the provider name only in
578
- the message:
433
+ A custom provider always uses the key it declares. The platform account key does not cover it.
579
434
 
580
- \`\`\`typescript
581
- import { ProviderError } from '@standardagents/builder';
435
+ ## Overrides
436
+
437
+ \`overrides\` can replace or wrap methods of the base provider, such as \`getModels\`, \`getIcon\`, \`getTools\`, \`generate\`, and \`stream\`. Inside an override, call \`next()\` to run the base provider's version and return your own value to replace it.
582
438
 
439
+ When an override catches an upstream failure and rethrows it, throw a \`ProviderError\` from \`@standardagents/builder\` so the thread's logs name the failing service:
440
+
441
+ \`\`\`text
583
442
  throw new ProviderError(message, 'server_error', status, retryAfter, {
584
443
  cause: error,
585
- origin: 'provider:my_openai_compatible_provider',
586
- upstream: 'example-backend',
444
+ origin: 'provider:acme',
445
+ upstream: 'acme-backend',
587
446
  });
588
447
  \`\`\`
589
448
 
590
- \`origin\` is machine-readable (\`provider:<id>\` for provider failures), while
591
- \`upstream\` names the actual backend when it differs from the adapter. Builder
592
- request logs retain these fields and render them separately from the human
593
- message. Do not make operators infer the failing layer from prose.
449
+ \`origin\` identifies the provider as \`provider:<name>\`. \`upstream\` names the backend when it differs from the provider.

- A circular prompt include raises an error that names the include chain. A prompt can include the same partial through different paths.

661
- The sandboxed coding prompt declares \`HTTP_HOST\` as a text variable and injects its resolved value with a structured \`{ type: 'env', property: 'HTTP_HOST' }\` prompt part. Its URL helper uses that value as the origin for files exposed from the thread \`public/\` directory and endpoints exposed from the thread \`api/\` directory. Public URLs should usually omit extensions; extensionless public paths resolve \`.html\`, then \`.js\`, then \`.ts\`, then matching \`index\` files in the same order. Browser pages should reference only public files, \`api/\` endpoints, or absolute external URLs, using relative asset URLs like \`./app\` and \`./api/todos\`; private \`src/\` files are not served directly. Public \`.ts\` files are transformed to browser JavaScript and are not server endpoints. Server-side endpoints live under the thread filesystem \`api/\` directory, and the \`api/\` directory name stays in the public URL: \`api/todo.ts\` is \`/api/threads/{threadId}/api/todo\`, while \`api/todo.ts\` is not \`/api/threads/{threadId}/todo\` or \`/api/threads/{threadId}/todos\`. Endpoint files default-export a function that accepts \`Request\` and returns \`Response\` or \`Promise<Response>\`. Endpoint code can import \`fetch\`, \`fs\`, and \`storage\`, and can import private helpers with relative paths such as \`../src/todo.ts\`. When the coding agent creates a site, page, or endpoint, it should call \`get_public_url\` with the created file path and use the returned URL.
507
+ A prompt sees only its system instructions and the newest message unless you turn history on.
662
508
 
663
- The sandboxed coding prompt includes \`set_goal\` (write the whole goal: a short \`summary\`, a \`description\` that is the user's objective in their own words captured verbatim, plus ordered steps) and \`update_goal_step\` (flip one step's status as you start/finish it), and should check work incrementally, checking steps off as it goes and finishing with a summary once every step is done. \`coding_validate_typescript\` is only an early signal; for real verification, call helper exports with \`coding_run\`, get public URLs for pages or endpoints, then probe those URLs from \`coding_run\` using \`import { fetch } from "fetch"\`. Side-effecting endpoint checks should use disposable data and clean up through the endpoint, storage, or file cleanup path when practical. The prompt also includes \`fetch_url\` for reading known external public http(s) pages; use the \`coding_run\` fetch bridge for custom methods, headers, request bodies, or thread endpoint checks.
509
+ - Set \`includeChat: true\` for any prompt that holds a conversation.
510
+ - Set \`includePastTools: true\` when the model must read a tool's result to continue, which is the usual case for a prompt with tools. Without it, each request omits earlier tool calls and results, and the model may repeat a call until it reaches its step limit.
511
+ - Leave \`includePastTools\` off when the tools only cause side effects or when their output is large or sensitive.
664
512
 
665
- Sandboxed code and \`api/\` endpoints can persist small JSON-serializable runtime data through \`import { storage } from "storage"\`. Use \`storage.get\`, \`storage.set\`, \`storage.delete\`, and \`storage.has\` with stable logical keys. Do not expose, mention, or depend on internal storage key prefixes.
513
+ ## Reusing instructions
666
514
 
667
- The sandboxed coding prompt includes \`delete_file\` for removing files or empty directories from the thread filesystem. Use it to clean up obsolete implementation files, stale public assets, and abandoned endpoint routes after the replacement is working.
668
-
669
- ## Tool Configuration
670
-
671
- Tools can be simple names or detailed configs:
515
+ \`prompt\` can be an array of parts. An \`include\` part inserts another prompt's instructions. An \`env\` part inserts the value of a variable.
672
516
 
673
517
  \`\`\`typescript
674
- tools: [
675
- 'simple_tool', // Just the tool name
676
- {
677
- name: 'complex_tool',
678
- includeTextResponse: true, // Include sub-prompt text in result
679
- includeToolCalls: false, // Exclude sub-prompt tool calls

686
- Provider-built-in tools use the same \`tools\` list once the selected model enables
687
- them with \`providerTools\`. AgentBuilder passes them to the provider and records
688
- provider-reported calls in request logs; it does not execute those tools locally.
689
- Generated prompt files may store these selections as \`provider:<toolName>\` to
690

709

710
- For a prompt-backed side with non-hidden relationships, the runtime automatically injects three lifecycle tools scoped to that side's declarations:
711
-
712
- - \`subagents\` \u2014 pull-based visibility: returns the registry snapshot (reference, relationship name, agent name, status, initial arguments, creation time). Call it before \`subagent_create\` so existing instances are reused rather than duplicated.
713
- - \`subagent_create\` \u2014 creates (or continues) an instance. Its \`agent\` argument enumerates the side's enabled relationship *names* (\`as\`, defaulting to the unqualified part of \`agent\`), never internal agent identifiers. It requires a non-empty \`name\` for the spawned instance; AgentBuilder stores that as a \`name:<value>\` thread tag for human-friendly labels.
714
- - \`subagent_message\` \u2014 queues a message to an existing instance by reference.
715
-
716
- These three names are reserved; a relationship \`as\` that collides with them (or with any other tool name) is a definition-time error.
717
-
718
- \`subagent_create.arguments\` is shaped by the \`requiredSchema\` of the receiving child's side A prompt (parent traffic enters the child in the side B perspective, \`role: 'user'\`, so side A acts on it exactly as for an external caller). AgentBuilder validates and persists those arguments for the life of the child thread, exposes them as \`ThreadState.arguments\` and prompt variables to **both** child sides, and rehydrates them on every later activation. Missing required arguments fail creation with a structured \`subagent_arguments_required\` error.
553
+ An \`env\` part puts the value in front of the model. Use it only for values that are safe for the model and the user to see. A prompt that includes itself, directly or through another prompt, fails to load with an error that names the chain.
719
554
 
720
- \`subagent_create\` accepts \`agent\`, \`name\`, and \`arguments\`.
721
- The relationship maps its initial message and attachments from \`arguments\`.
722
- Create-or-continue applies the same mappings to the existing child.
723
- Without a mapped message value, Builder uses the optional top-level \`message\` before falling back to serialized arguments.
724
- Empty arguments produce the JSON activation payload {}.
725
- The relationship contributes missing message and attachment fields to the model-facing argument schema.
726
- The model-facing schema and runtime accept optional top-level \`message\` and \`attachments\`.
727
- These fields are AgentBuilder extensions beyond Spec 0.2.0 Subagents \xA75 for existing callers such as Standard Code Mux.
728
- Relationships should migrate to \`initUserMessageProperty\` and mapped \`arguments\`.
729
- Strict providers may require these keys on the wire with null values to omit them.
730
- Mapped arguments take precedence over these compatibility fields.
731
- Relationship-only fields initialize messages without becoming persistent child arguments.
555
+ ## Prompts as tools
732
556
 
733
- Persistence is universal: every child instance is a persistent thread. Session end never terminates a child \u2014 a later \`subagent_message\` starts a new session with history intact; only explicit \`state.terminate()\` destroys an instance. \`blocking: true\` makes \`subagent_create\` await the child session's close and return its result; combined with \`maxInstances: 1\` and an existing instance it behaves as create-or-continue.
734
-
735
- Blocking creation and continuation return the session result through the tool result.
736
- That session has no implicit completion message.
737
- Create-or-continue acquires child execution before persisting its input.
738
- Admission failure leaves the continuation input unsent.
739
- A separate \`subagent_message\` activation retains implicit delivery under \`parentCommunication: 'implicit'\`.
740
-
741
- If required scoped vars are missing, the runtime returns \`error_code: "subagent_env_required"\` with a temporary \`GET/POST /api/threads/:threadId/variables/:requestId\` endpoint in \`error_data.endpoint\`.
742
-
743
- See \`agents/agents/AGENTS.md\` for the full \`SubagentRelationship\` option list (\`immediate\`, \`optional\`, \`hidden\`, \`parentCommunication\`, init mappings) and the ownership rules.
744
-
745
- ## Input Validation
746
-
747
- Validate inputs when prompt is called as a tool:
557
+ Any prompt can be listed in another prompt's \`tools\`. The calling model sees \`toolDescription\` and the arguments in \`requiredSchema\`, and gets the prompt's answer as the tool result. The called prompt runs once, with its own instructions and model.

601
+ | \`initAttachmentsProperty\` | The argument that holds file paths to attach |
767
602
 
768
- A prompt can set \`reasoning.level\` from 0 to 100. An unset level uses the model's default. Level 0 disables reasoning when the model supports a disabling control. Otherwise, the provider selects the lowest reasoning setting. A model with no reasoning control receives no control. Each provider maps the level to the nearest option the model declares.
603
+ ## Other entries in \`tools\`
769
604
 
770
- A prompt's \`reasoning.level\` replaces a native effort value in \`providerOptions\`. Other \`providerOptions\` keys remain. Without a level, \`providerOptions\` apply as provided. Native effort values in a model's \`providerOptions\` remain valid.
605
+ - **Provider tools.** When the prompt's model lists \`providerTools\`, put those names in \`tools\`. See \`agents/models/AGENTS.md\`.
606
+ - **Agents.** An agent with \`exposeAsTool: true\` can be listed by name. Calling it hands the thread to that agent.
607
+ - **Subagents are not listed here.** They are declared on the agent side, in \`subagents\`. For a prompt on such a side, the runtime adds three tools itself: \`subagents\`, \`subagent_create\`, and \`subagent_message\`. See \`agents/agents/AGENTS.md\`.
771
608
 
772
- Saved prompt input with \`reasoning.effort\` fails validation. A published package prompt with \`reasoning.effort\` loads with a warning. The runtime ignores that field.
609
+ ## Reasoning
773
610
 
774
- Enable for complex reasoning tasks:
611
+ \`reasoning.level\` runs from 0 to 100. Each provider maps it to the nearest setting the model has. Leave it unset to use the model's default. Level 0 turns reasoning off when the model allows that.

642
+ - Write instructions for the realistic cases, including what to do when a tool fails or the answer is unknown.
643
+ - Tell the model when to use each tool. The model decides from the tool's description and your instructions.
644
+ - Name a prompt for its job (\`customer_support\`), not its model.
645
+ - Keep one job per prompt. Give a second job to a second prompt and call it as a tool.

- An agent is the top-level conversation orchestrator. An agent has **exactly two sides**, and each side is **backed** by exactly one of three things: a human, a prompt, or a handler. There is no agent "type" \u2014 everything about how an agent converses, composes, and terminates is derived from the backings of its two sides.

835
- | **Prompt** | A model, driven by a prompt from \`agents/prompts/\` | \`{ prompt: 'name', ... }\` |
836
- | **Handler** | Deterministic code from \`agents/handlers/\` | \`{ handler: 'name', ... }\` |
655
+ An agent is a conversation between two sides, \`sideA\` and \`sideB\`. Each side is backed by exactly one of three things:
837
656
 
838
- Both sides are explicit. There is no implicit "missing side B is a human" default \u2014 if a person takes side B's turns, write \`sideB: { human: true }\`.

726
+
727
+ A handler side takes \`handler\` (required), \`label\`, and \`subagents\`.
728
+
729
+ A binding names a tool and the arguments to read from its call:
730
+
731
+ \`\`\`text
893
732
  sessionStop: {
894
- name: 'complete_work', // tool that controls the lifecycle action
895
- messageProperty: 'summary', // arg field that becomes lifecycle message text
896
- attachmentsProperty: 'files', // arg field containing attachment path(s)
733
+ name: 'close_conversation', // the tool
734
+ messageProperty: 'summary', // the argument that becomes the result text
735
+ attachmentsProperty: 'files', // the argument that holds file paths
897
736
  }
898
737
  \`\`\`
899
738
 
900
- ## Derivations
739
+ The bound tool must also be listed in the prompt's \`tools\`, and must exist in \`agents/tools/\`.
901
740
 
902
- These follow from the backings and are never declared separately:
741
+ ## Turns and sessions
903
742
 
904
- - **Chat surface** \u2014 the primary conversational interface renders wherever a \`human\` backing is.
905
- - **Perspective** \u2014 \`role: 'user'\` is the side B perspective, \`role: 'assistant'\` is the side A perspective, for queueing, injection, and rendering alike.
906
- - **Subagent eligibility** \u2014 any agent may be composed as a subagent. Composing a child with a human side puts a person's step inside the composition (the child parks \`awaiting_human\` until that person responds).
907
- - **Termination discipline** \u2014 \`maxSessionTurns\` is optional on every agent shape, with uniform exchange counting across backings (a handler turn counts like a prompt turn). Two prompt-backed sides can ping-pong indefinitely \u2014 the cap is a voluntary safety valve, and prompt and handler authors own their termination discipline.
743
+ A **turn** is one side acting until it stops. A **session** is the exchange of turns until the work is done.
908
744
 
909
- ## Example: Assistant (human \xD7 prompt)
745
+ A prompt side's turn ends at the first of these:
910
746
 
911
- The everyday user-facing assistant \u2014 a person on side B, a model on side A:
747
+ 1. It calls its \`sessionStop\` or \`sessionFail\` tool. The session ends too.
748
+ 2. It calls its \`stopTool\`.
749
+ 3. The model replies with text and no tool call, when \`stopOnResponse\` is \`true\`.
750
+ 4. It reaches \`maxSteps\`.
912
751
 
913
- \`\`\`typescript
914
- import { defineAgent } from '@standardagents/builder';
752
+ A handler side's turn ends when its function returns. A human side's turn ends when the person sends a message.
915
753
 
916
- export default defineAgent({
917
- name: 'support_agent',
918
- sideA: {
919
- label: 'Support',
920
- prompt: 'customer_support',
921
- stopOnResponse: true,
922
- sessionStop: { name: 'close_ticket' },
923

924
- },
925
- sideB: { human: true },
926
- tags: ['support', 'tier-1'],
927
- });
928
- \`\`\`
754
+ A session also ends when it reaches \`maxSessionTurns\`. There is no default. Without it, a run stops only at a fallback ceiling of 250 model steps.
929
755
 
930
- ## Example: Worker / Reviewer (prompt \xD7 prompt)
756
+ ## Two models working together
931
757
 
932
- Two models converse; each side sees itself as \`assistant\` and the other as \`user\`. \`maxSessionTurns\` is optional but strongly recommended here \u2014 nothing external stops two models:
758
+ Both sides can be prompts. Each side sees its own messages as \`assistant\` and the other side's as \`user\`. Use this shape for work that benefits from review. Give the sides different jobs, name the tool that ends the session, and set \`maxSessionTurns\`, because nothing else stops two models.

- The \`relay_pipe\` handler lives in \`agents/handlers/relay_pipe.ts\` \u2014 the full worked example is in \`agents/handlers/AGENTS.md\`.
972
-
973
- ## Subagent Relationships
974
-
975
- Composition into a child thread is declared on the side that owns it \u2014 never inside a prompt's \`tools\` array. The side's declaration is the grant:
976
-
977
800
  \`\`\`typescript
978
- sideA: {
979
- prompt: 'coordinator',
980
- subagents: [
981
- { agent: 'calendar_agent', as: 'work_calendar', scopedEnv: ['WORK_CAL_ID'] },
982
- { agent: 'calendar_agent', as: 'personal_calendar', scopedEnv: ['PERSONAL_CAL_ID'] },
983
- { agent: 'research_agent', blocking: true, maxInstances: 1 },
984
- ],
985
- },
986
- \`\`\`
987
-
988
- - The owning side is where child traffic lands: completion, failure, and status messages arrive on the owning side's perspective. Parent\u2192child traffic enters in the child's side B perspective (\`role: 'user'\`), so the child's side A acts on it.
989
- - A relationship name (\`as\`, defaulting to the unqualified part of \`agent\`) may appear on at most one side, must not collide with another tool name, and must not collide with the reserved lifecycle tool names \`subagents\`, \`subagent_create\`, \`subagent_message\`.
990
- - For a prompt-backed owning side, the runtime injects those lifecycle tools automatically. Handler-backed owning sides need no tool grant \u2014 handlers reach children through \`ThreadState\` directly.
991
- - **Persistence is universal**: every child instance is a persistent thread. Session end never terminates a thread; only explicit \`state.terminate()\` destroys an instance. \`blocking\` is purely a waiting style.
801
+ // agents/prompts/draft_reviewer.ts
802
+ import { definePrompt } from '@standardagents/builder';
992
803
 
993
- Blocking \`subagent_create\` returns the session result through its tool result.
994
- That session has no implicit completion message.
995
- With \`maxInstances: 1\`, a repeated call continues the existing child.
996
- Continuation acquires execution before persisting its input.
997
- Admission failure leaves the continuation input unsent.
998
- A separate \`subagent_message\` activation retains implicit delivery under \`parentCommunication: 'implicit'\`.

1003
820
 
1004
- When \`exposeAsTool: true\`, an agent referenced directly in a prompt's \`tools\` array is a **handoff**: the tool call transfers control of the *same thread* to the target agent, preserving history. Handoff requires the target agent to have a human side matching the thread's conversational surface.
821
+ A side can start other agents as children. Each child runs in its own thread with its own history. Declare the children on the side that uses them:

864
 
1025
- A handler-backed side's turn ends when its handler invocation returns. A human-backed side's turn ends when the human's inbound message is persisted.
865
+ | Tool | What it does |
866
+ |------|--------------|
867
+ | \`subagents\` | Lists the children that exist, with their status |
868

+ | \`subagent_message\` | Sends a message to an existing child |
1026
870

- ## Definition-Time Errors

+ \`arguments\` follows the \`requiredSchema\` of the child's side A prompt. The child reads them as \`state.arguments\` and as prompt variables.
1028
872
 
1029
- These shapes are rejected when definitions load:
873
+ Relationship options:
1030

- 7. A session binding that is not in object form
875
+ | Option | Meaning |
876
+ |--------|---------|
877
+ | \`agent\` | Required. The child agent's \`name\` |
878
+ | \`as\` | The relationship name the model sees. Defaults to the agent name. Use it to compose one agent twice |
879
+ | \`description\` | Overrides the child's \`toolDescription\` for this relationship |
880
+ | \`blocking\` | \`subagent_create\` waits for the child's session and returns its result |
881
+ | \`maxInstances\` | The most children of this relationship. With \`blocking\` and \`1\`, a repeated call continues the same child |
882
+ | \`immediate\` | Start the child when the thread is created |
883
+ | \`parentCommunication\` | \`'implicit'\` (default) sends the child's result to the parent as a message. \`'explicit'\` sends nothing unless the child calls \`state.notifyParent()\` |
884
+ | \`initUserMessageProperty\` | The argument to send as the child's first message |
885
+ | \`initAttachmentsProperty\` | The argument that holds file paths to attach |
886
+ | \`initAgentNameProperty\` | The argument to use as the child's display name |
887
+ | \`scopedEnv\` | Variables the child must be given and does not inherit |
888
+ | \`optional\` | A variable name. The relationship is enabled only when that variable is \`true\` |
889

1038
890
 
1039
- ## Hooks
891
+ A child's thread is never deleted when its session ends. The parent can message the same child again later. Only \`state.terminate()\` ends a child for good.
1040
892
 
1041
- Attach lifecycle hooks at the agent level:
893
+ ## Handing a thread to another agent
894
+
895
+ An agent with \`exposeAsTool: true\` can also be listed in a prompt's \`tools\`. Calling it hands the same thread, with its history, to that agent.

1075

944
+ An agent fails to load when:
1076
945
 
1077
- ## Icons
946
+ - Both sides are human.
947
+ - A side has no backing, or more than one of \`human\`, \`prompt\`, and \`handler\`.
948
+ - A human side has anything other than \`human\` and \`label\`.
949
+ - A handler side has \`maxSteps\`, a stop setting, or a session binding.
950
+ - A side names a prompt or handler that does not exist.
951
+ - \`exposeAsTool\` is \`true\` and \`toolDescription\` is missing.
952
+ - A relationship name is used on both sides, or matches a tool name or one of the three subagent tool names.
1078
953
 
1079
- Give an agent a custom icon with the \`icon\` property: a full URL, a data URI,
1080
- or a site-relative path served from your project's \`public/\` directory \u2014
1081
- \`icon: '/icons/support.svg'\` expects the file at \`public/icons/support.svg\`.
1082
- The file is served in dev and deployed with your project's assets. Agents
1083
- without an icon (or whose icon fails to load) render a generated identicon,
1084
- and the dashboard warns when a site-relative icon path has no matching file.
954
+ A failed agent is missing from the builder UI's agent list, and the UI shows the error in a banner.

+ ## Practices
1087
957
 
1088
- - **Use descriptive names** (\`customer_support_agent\` not \`agent1\`)
1089
- - **Always use the _agent suffix** - names like \`support_agent\`, \`research_agent\`
1090
- - **Write sideB explicitly** - there is no implicit default; a user-facing agent ends with \`sideB: { human: true }\`
1091
- - **Cap prompt \xD7 prompt agents** - set \`maxSessionTurns\` when both sides are prompt-backed; nothing external stops two models
1092
- - **Match stop conditions to use case** - chat apps use stopOnResponse, workflows use stopTool
1093
- - **Use labels** for clarity in logs and UI
1094
- - **Organize with tags** for filtering
958
+ - Give every agent a \`title\`, a \`description\`, and side labels. They appear in the builder UI and in logs.
959
+ - Keep an agent to one domain with a short tool list. Compose agents for wider work.
960
+ - In a prompt-and-prompt agent, set \`maxSessionTurns\` and bind a \`sessionStop\` tool.
961
+ - Use a prompt as a tool for one model step. Use a subagent when the work needs several steps or a review.

1104
- A handler is a function that takes one side's turns in a conversation. When a side of an agent is backed by a handler, the runtime does not call a model to answer an inbound message \u2014 it calls the handler function once, with the thread state and the message, and whatever that function does is the side's turn.
971
+ A handler is a function that takes one side's turns in a conversation. When an agent side is \`{ handler: 'name' }\`, the runtime calls that function once for each message that arrives on the side. No model is called for that side.
1105
972
 
1106
- A handler is **not** a hook (hooks decorate turns owned by something else, and their failures are non-fatal), **not** a tool (tools are capabilities a turn-owner chooses to invoke), and **not** an effect (effects run outside the conversation flow). Its only role is backing a side of an agent. Handlers may not be referenced by prompt \`tools\` arrays, hook lists, or effect schedules \u2014 such references are definition-time errors.
973
+ Use a handler for a side that should act by rule: forwarding messages, replying from a lookup, or starting other agents.
1107
974
 
1108
- ## Properties
975
+ A handler is not a tool (a model does not call it) and not a hook (it owns the turn instead of observing it). It is referenced from one place only: the \`handler\` property of an agent side.

1114
978
 
1115
- The handler's name comes from its filename: \`agents/handlers/relay_pipe.ts\` defines the handler \`relay_pipe\`. The \`message\` parameter is the full persisted message \u2014 id, role, content, silent flag, metadata, timestamps. Handlers are trusted definition code, like tools.
979
+ The file name is the handler's name: \`agents/handlers/office_hours.ts\` defines \`office_hours\`.

1141
- ## Execution Model
1142
-
1143
- A handler-backed side's turn is:
1144
-
1145
- 1. An inbound message arrives on the side's perspective.
1146
- 2. The runtime invokes the handler once with the thread's \`ThreadState\` and that message.
1147
- 3. The invocation returns (or throws). The turn is complete.
1148
-
1149
- There are no steps, no tool-choice loop, and no model requests for this side. \`maxSteps\`, \`stopOnResponse\`, \`stopTool\`, and session bindings are not legal on handler sides \u2014 a handler turn has no steps to cap and ends when \`execute\` returns. Handlers end sessions explicitly via \`state.stopSession()\`. When the agent sets \`maxSessionTurns\`, a handler turn counts toward the exchange cap exactly like a prompt turn.
1150
-
1151
- ## Delivery Semantics
1016
+ \`message\` is the stored message that started the turn, with its \`id\`, \`role\`, \`content\`, and \`metadata\`. \`state\` is the full \`ThreadState\`, the same one tools receive; see \`agents/tools/AGENTS.md\`.
1152
1017
 
1153
- Delivery to a handler is **exactly-once per message**:
1018
+ A handler speaks by calling \`state.injectMessage()\` with its own side's role: \`assistant\` for side A, \`user\` for side B. Nothing is sent on its behalf.
1154
1019
 
1155
- - The handler is invoked exactly once for each inbound message on the side's perspective, in message persistence order.
1156
- - The handler is never invoked concurrently for the same thread. Messages that arrive while a handler turn is in flight wait in the queue and are delivered one at a time, in order.
1157
- - A message whose handler invocation failed is not automatically redelivered. Retry is a userland decision (re-send the message).
1020
+ ## How a handler turn runs
1158
1021
 
1159
- **Warning:** Because queued messages wait behind the in-flight turn, a long-running handler stalls its thread. A handler that awaits a \`blocking\` child session holds the delivery slot for that session's entire duration \u2014 and if that child can only finish after *another* inbound message on this thread, the thread deadlocks. Relay-style handlers should forward without blocking (\`queueMessage\` toward the child) and treat the child's replies as ordinary later turns.
1022
+ 1. A message arrives on the handler's side.
1023
+ 2. The runtime calls \`execute\` once with the thread state and that message.
1024
+ 3. \`execute\` returns. The turn is over.
1160
1025
 
1161
- ## Error Semantics
1026
+ - Each message is delivered once, in the order the messages were stored.
1027
+ - One handler call runs at a time per thread. Messages that arrive during a call wait their turn.
1028
+ - A handler side has no \`maxSteps\`, \`stopOnResponse\`, \`stopTool\`, or session bindings. To end the session, call \`state.stopSession()\`.
1029
+ - A handler turn counts toward the agent's \`maxSessionTurns\`.
1162
1030
 
1163
- A handler that throws is **fatal to the turn, and only the turn**:
1031
+ ## Errors
1164
1032
 
1165
- - The turn is marked failed and the error is surfaced in the runtime's request/execution log as a runtime-origin failure \u2014 a throwing handler never silently swallows a message.
1166
- - The inbound message stays persisted. Nothing is rolled back.
1167
- - The **session continues**: the failure does not end the session, terminate the thread, or poison the queue. The next inbound message gets a fresh handler invocation.
1033
+ When \`execute\` throws:
1168
1034
 
1169
- If an error should end the session, the handler must do so explicitly with \`state.stopSession()\`.
1035
+ - The turn is marked failed and the error appears in the thread's logs.
1036
+ - The message that started the turn stays stored. It is not delivered again.
1037
+ - The session continues. The next message gets a new call.
1170
1038
 
1171
- ## Capabilities
1172
-
1173
- A handler receives the full \`ThreadState\` and may do anything tools can do:
1174
-
1175
- - **Forward** \u2014 \`(await state.getChildThread(ref)).queueMessage(...)\` toward a child, or \`state.notifyParent(...)\` toward a parent.
1176
- - **Respond** \u2014 \`state.injectMessage({ role, content })\` in its own side's role (\`assistant\` for side A, \`user\` for side B).
1177
- - **Spawn** \u2014 create child instances of the side's declared \`subagents\` relationships via lifecycle APIs.
1178
- - **Control** \u2014 \`state.stopSession()\`, \`state.setStatus()\`, effects, environment, key-value store, filesystem.
1179
-
1180
- Handlers need no tool grants for children: the side's \`subagents\` declarations establish existence and lifecycle, and the handler reaches children through \`ThreadState\` directly. (The injected lifecycle *tools* exist for prompts \u2014 a handler calls the same operations as code.)
1181
-
1182
- ## The Outbound Boundary
1183
-
1184
- Handlers get no auto-injected reply channel. If a handler (or the side it feeds) should speak to a user or an external surface, that is userland code \u2014 a tool or handler calling the messaging surface it chooses (the \`message_user\` pattern). **The runtime routes inbound; userland decides outbound.**
1185
-
1186
- ## Livelock Discipline
1187
-
1188
- Handler sides do not run away on their own \u2014 a handler runs only when a message arrives. But a handler that *replies to every inbound message* paired with a prompt-backed side creates a message ping-pong with no natural stop. Handler authors own their termination discipline:
1189
-
1190
- - reply conditionally, not unconditionally;
1191
- - or set \`maxSessionTurns\` on the agent (available on every shape) as a hard safety valve;
1192
- - or end the session explicitly with \`state.stopSession()\` when the work is done.
1193
-
1194
- ## Worked Example: the Relay
1195
-
1196
- A user-facing thread that does **zero model work**: every inbound user message is forwarded verbatim to a composed assistant child; every child answer is relayed back out through userland messaging. One handler expresses the entire surface:
1197
-
1198
- \`\`\`typescript
1199
- // agents/handlers/relay_pipe.ts
1200
- import { defineHandler } from '@standardagents/builder';
1039
+ To end the session on an error, catch it and call \`state.stopSession()\`.
1201
1040
 
1202
- export default defineHandler({
1203
- description: 'Pipe user traffic to the assistant child; relay answers outward.',
1204
- execute: async (state, message) => {
1205
- const child = state.children.find(c => c.relationship === 'assistant_agent');
1206
- if (child) {
1207
- const thread = await state.getChildThread(child.reference);
1208
- await thread?.queueMessage({ role: 'user', content: message.content ?? '' });
1209
- }
1210
- },
1211
- });
1041
+ ## Subagents
1212
1042
 
1213
- // agents/agents/relay_agent.ts
1214
- import { defineAgent } from '@standardagents/builder';
1043
+ A handler side can declare \`subagents\`, with the same options as a prompt side (see \`agents/agents/AGENTS.md\`). A handler reaches its children through \`state\`: \`state.children\` lists them, and \`state.getChildThread(reference)\` returns a child's thread state, whose \`queueMessage()\` sends it a message. A handler needs no tools for this.
1215
1044
 
1216
- export default defineAgent({
1217
- name: 'relay_agent',
1218
- sideA: {
1219
- handler: 'relay_pipe',
1220
- subagents: [{
1221

- parentCommunication: 'explicit',
1225
- }],
1226
- },
1227
- sideB: { human: true },
1228
- });
1229
- \`\`\`
1045
+ ## Avoiding stalls and loops
1230
1046
 
1231
- The child's answers arrive as inbound messages on side A (the owning side) and get their own handler turns, where the handler calls the project's outbound messaging tool. No model participates at any point.
1047
+ - Do not wait inside a handler for work that needs another message on the same thread. Messages queue behind the running call, so that wait never ends. Forward with \`queueMessage()\` and handle the answer as a later turn.
1048
+ - A handler that replies to every message, opposite a prompt side, never stops. Reply only when there is something to say, set \`maxSessionTurns\` on the agent, or call \`state.stopSession()\` when the work is done.
1232
1049
 
1233
- ## Best Practices
1050
+ ## Practices
1234
1051
 
1235
- - **Forward without blocking** \u2014 queue toward children and treat their replies as later turns; never hold the delivery slot on a child session
1236
- - **Reply conditionally** \u2014 an unconditional reply opposite a prompt side is a ping-pong
1237
- - **End sessions explicitly** \u2014 \`state.stopSession()\` when the work is done; there are no declarative session bindings on handler sides
1238
- - **Keep handlers deterministic** \u2014 code that wants a model writes a prompt; code that wants a capability writes a tool; code that decorates writes a hook
1052
+ - Keep handlers short and rule-based. Work that needs judgment belongs in a prompt.
1053
+ - End sessions explicitly with \`state.stopSession()\`.
1054
+ - Put a capability that a model should be able to call in a tool, not a handler.

- Tool args must be a top-level \`z.object(...)\`. Prefer explicit, bounded schemas made from strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, literals, enums, arrays, objects, optionals, nullables, and defaults. Avoid provider-visible recursive or open-ended schemas such as \`z.unknown()\`, \`z.any()\`, and \`z.object({}).catchall(...)\`; strict tool providers can reject the generated JSON Schema. If a tool needs arbitrary JSON input, accept it as a JSON string and parse it inside \`execute\`.

Relative module imports may use \`./\` and \`../\` as long as they resolve within the supplied module graph. In thread endpoints, \`runCode\` forwards functions in imports, globals, and execution arguments as callable proxies. Call \`run.terminate(reason)\` to stop the sandbox. A caller disconnect also stops the run. When \`report\` is supplied, the host receives reports during the run and \`run.reports\` updates as reports arrive.

- Sandboxed coding code must not use ambient network globals. For HTTP inside \`coding_run\`, import \`{ fetch }\` from \`"fetch"\`; the bridge supports \`fetch(url, init)\` with methods, headers, and bodies, and returns a Response-like object with \`text()\`, \`json()\`, \`arrayBuffer()\`, and \`headers.get()\`. The sandboxed coding prompt includes \`fetch_url\` for reading known external public http(s) pages as Markdown. Use the \`coding_run\` fetch bridge instead for custom methods, headers, request bodies, or checks against thread public file/API endpoint URLs returned by \`get_public_url\`.
1194
+ \`getMessages()\` returns \`{ messages, total, hasMore }\`, newest first. Pass \`{ order: 'asc' }\` for oldest first, and \`limit\` and \`offset\` to page.

- Sandboxed coding agents should verify runtime behavior as they work. \`coding_validate_typescript\` is useful but incomplete; call helper exports with \`coding_run\`, probe pages and endpoints with \`coding_run\` plus the fetch bridge, inspect status/body, and clean up disposable side-effecting test data when practical.

- ## Best Practices
1564
-
1565
- - **Write clear descriptions** - LLMs decide tool usage based on descriptions
1566
- - **Describe all parameters** with \`.describe()\` in Zod schemas
1567
- - **Handle errors gracefully** - return error status, don't throw
1568
- - **Use snake_case** for file names (\`search_knowledge_base.ts\`)
1569
- - **Keep tools focused** - one task per tool
1570
- - **Use \`state.rootState\`** when queueing from sub-prompts
1343
+ ## Practices
1571
1344
 
1572
- ## Supported Zod Types
1573
-
1574
- - Primitives: \`string\`, \`number\`, \`boolean\`, \`null\`
1575
- - Enums: \`z.enum(['a', 'b', 'c'])\`
1576
- - Arrays: \`z.array(z.string())\`
1577
- - Objects: \`z.object({ ... })\`
1578
- - Optional: \`z.string().optional()\`
1579
- - Default: \`z.number().default(10)\`
1580
- - Nullable: \`z.string().nullable()\`
1345
+ - Write the description for the model: what the tool does, when to call it, and what it returns.
1346
+ - Keep one job per tool.
1347
+ - Research a third-party API from its current documentation before you write a tool for it.
1348
+ - Check \`state\` before you add a dependency. Files, key-value storage, scheduling, and user data are built in.
1349
+ - Never put a secret in a tool file. Read it with \`state.env()\`.

1593
-
1594
- | Hook | Signature | Purpose |
1595
- |------|-----------|---------|
1596
- | \`after_thread_created\` | \`(state: ThreadState) => void\` | Initialize a newly created thread before execution |

1599
- | \`filter_messages\` | \`(state: ThreadState, messages: Message[]) => Message[]\` | Build the request context from one stable history snapshot per model request (only the newest window when the prompt sets \`historyLimit\`) |
1600
- | \`prefilter_llm_history\` | \`(state: ThreadState, messages: LLMMessage[]) => LLMMessage[]\` | Modify transformed provider messages before dispatch |
1601
- | \`before_create_message\` | \`(state: ThreadState, message: Message) => Message\` | Modify message before database insert |
1602

1603
- | \`before_update_message\` | \`(state: ThreadState, id: string, updates: Record) => Record\` | Modify updates for a persisted message before its update |
1604
- | \`after_update_message\` | \`(state: ThreadState, message: Message) => void\` | Run logic after message updated |
1605
- | \`before_store_tool_result\` | \`(state: ThreadState, toolCall: HookToolCall, result: HookToolResult) => HookToolResult\` | Modify tool result before storage |
1606
- | \`after_tool_call_success\` | \`(state: ThreadState, toolCall: HookToolCall, result: HookToolResult) => HookToolResult \\| null\` | Process successful tool execution |
1607
- | \`after_tool_call_failure\` | \`(state: ThreadState, toolCall: HookToolCall, result: HookToolResult) => HookToolResult \\| null\` | Process failed tool execution |
1608
- | \`user_client_attached\` | \`(user: UserState, client: { id, kind? }) => void\` | User-scope: a socket attached to the user event stream |
1609
- | \`user_client_detached\` | \`(user: UserState, client: { id, kind? }) => void\` | User-scope: a socket detached |
1610
- | \`user_value_changed\` | \`(user: UserState, key: string) => void\` | User-scope: a durable user value changed (any writer) |
1611
- | \`tool_call_started\` | \`(state: ThreadState, toolCall: HookToolCall, progress?: string) => void\` | Observe a tool call when it starts streaming (before it runs) |
1612
- | \`tool_call_done\` | \`(state: ThreadState, toolCall: HookToolCall, result: HookToolResult) => void\` | Observe a tool call after it finishes (success or failure) |
1613
-
1614
- User-scope hooks receive \`UserState\`. All thread hooks receive \`ThreadState\`
1615
- first and \`HookExecutionContext\` last. The context source is prompt, agent, or
1616
- child provenance; child provenance includes \`relationshipName\`, resolved
1617
- \`agentName\`, and optional package signature.
1618
-
1619
- Packed thread hooks receive a \`ThreadState\` in their owning package namespace.
1620
- Every hook can use \`state.loadPrompt('own')\` to load a package-local prompt.
1621
- This includes \`before_create_message\`.
1622
-
1623
- ## Creating a Hook
1624
-
1625
- Each hook file exports a default \`defineHook\` call with three properties:
1357
+ var HOOKS_AGENTS_MD = `# Lifecycle hooks
1358
+
1359
+ A hook is a function the runtime calls at a fixed point in a thread's life: before a message is stored, before a model request is sent, after a tool runs. Use hooks for behavior that cuts across prompts, such as trimming history, redacting data, and logging.
1360
+
1361
+ ## Defining a hook
1362
+
1363
+ Each file exports one hook. \`hook\` is the point it runs at, \`id\` is its name, and \`execute\` is the function. The file name can be anything; \`id\` is what agents and prompts refer to. \`id\` must be \`snake_case\` and unique in the project.
1626
1364
 
1627
1365
  \`\`\`typescript
1366
+ // agents/hooks/limit_history.ts
1628
1367
  import { defineHook } from '@standardagents/builder';
1629
1368
 
1630
1369
  export default defineHook({
1631
- hook: 'filter_messages', // Hook type
1632
- id: 'limit_recent_messages', // Unique ID (snake_case)
1370
+ hook: 'filter_messages',
1371
+ id: 'limit_history',
1633
1372
  execute: async (state, messages) => {
1634
- return messages.slice(-20);
1635
- }
1373
+ return messages.slice(-40);
1374
+ },
1636
1375
  });
1637
1376
  \`\`\`
1638
1377
 
1639
- ## Hook Scoping
1378
+ A hook does nothing until an agent or a prompt lists its \`id\`:
1379
+
1380
+ \`\`\`text
1381
+ defineAgent({ name: 'support_agent', hooks: ['log_tool_use'], ... })
1382
+ definePrompt({ name: 'customer_support', hooks: ['limit_history'], ... })
1383
+ \`\`\`
1384
+
1385
+ - A prompt's \`hooks\` replace the agent's \`hooks\` while that prompt runs.
1386
+ - A prompt with no \`hooks\` uses the agent's.
1387
+ - Work that happens outside a prompt, such as creating the thread, uses the agent's.
1640
1388
 
1641
- Hooks are scoped to **prompts** or **agents** via their ID:
1389
+ ## Hook points
1642
1390
 
1643
- \`\`\`typescript
1644
- // In a prompt definition
1645
- definePrompt({
1646
- name: 'customer_support',
1647
- hooks: ['limit_recent_messages', 'redact_pii'],
1648
- // ...
1649
- });
1391
+ Hooks that change data return the new value.
1650
1392
 
1651
- // In an agent definition
1652
- defineAgent({
1653
- name: 'support_agent',
1654
- hooks: ['log_all_messages'],
1655
- // ...
1656
- });
1657
- \`\`\`
1393
+ | Hook | Arguments after \`state\` | Returns | Runs |
1394
+ |------|-------------------------|---------|------|
1395
+ | \`after_system_message\` | \`systemMessage: string\` | \`string\`, or nothing to keep it | After the system instructions are built for a request |
1396
+ | \`filter_messages\` | \`messages: Message[]\` | \`Message[]\` | Once per model request, on the stored history |
1397
+ | \`prefilter_llm_history\` | \`messages: LLMMessage[]\` | \`LLMMessage[]\` | Just before the request is sent, on provider-format messages |
1398
+ | \`before_create_message\` | \`message: Message\` | \`Message\` | Before a message is stored |
1399
+ | \`before_update_message\` | \`id: string, updates\` | \`updates\` | Before a stored message is changed |
1400
+ | \`before_store_tool_result\` | \`toolCall, result\` | \`result\` | Before a tool result is stored |
1401
+ | \`after_tool_call_success\` | \`toolCall, result\` | \`result\`, or \`null\` to keep the result unchanged | After a tool succeeds |
1402
+ | \`after_tool_call_failure\` | \`toolCall, result\` | \`result\`, or \`null\` to keep the result unchanged | After a tool fails |
1658
1403
 
1659
- - **Prompt hooks** take precedence over agent hooks
1660
- - If a prompt defines hooks, only those run (agent hooks are skipped)
1661
- - If no prompt hooks are defined, agent hooks run as fallback
1662
- - Enabled direct children contribute their declared \`parentHooks\`
1663
- - Ordering is child \`before_parent\`, prompt-or-agent base, child \`after_parent\`
1664
- - Child requirements load from the child's package and run on the parent state
1665
- - Disabled optional children contribute nothing; hidden enabled children still do
1666
- - Installing alone is inert; adding the child relationship activates its disclosed hooks
1667
- - Hooks are filtered by type at runtime
1668
- - At-rest operations have no active prompt and use agent-level hooks
1669
-
1670
- ## History and the Request Context
1671
-
1672
- Each provider request runs \`after_system_message\`, takes one stable persisted-history
1673
- snapshot, runs \`filter_messages\` exactly once, transforms the result, and then runs
1674
- \`prefilter_llm_history\`. These request-context hooks do not replace
1675
- \`state.execution.messageHistory\`. Messages injected by \`after_system_message\` enter
1676
- the current snapshot. Messages injected by either request-context hook enter the
1677
- following snapshot. Silent messages remain eligible unless a request-context hook removes
1678
- them.
1679
-
1680
- When the active prompt sets \`historyLimit\` (N), the snapshot and
1681
- \`state.execution.messageHistory\` hold only the newest top-level rows: at least N
1682
- and fewer than 2N, the cut moving N at a time. A hook looking for an older marker
1683
- (a compaction summary, a task header) may not see it; stored history is untouched.
1684
-
1685
- ## Create-Message Lifecycle
1686
-
1687
- \`before_create_message\` and \`after_create_message\` run for runtime insertion
1688
- paths, including \`injectMessage()\` (active and at rest), agent-handoff user
1689
- messages, and generated-asset path messages. A \`before_create_message\` hook
1690
- that throws during \`injectMessage()\` rejects the injection and nothing is
1691
- persisted. Other runtime insertions log the failure and keep the last good
1692
- message.
1693
-
1694
- ## File Naming
1695
-
1696
- Hook files can use **any name** \u2014 the hook type and ID are defined inside the file:
1404
+ Hooks that observe return nothing.

- ### After Tool Call Failure (Recovery)
1516
+ ## How a request is built
1517
+
1518
+ For each model request the runtime:
1519
+
1520
+ 1. Builds the system instructions and runs \`after_system_message\`.
1521
+ 2. Takes one snapshot of the stored history.
1522
+ 3. Runs \`filter_messages\` once on that snapshot.
1523
+ 4. Converts the result to the provider's format and runs \`prefilter_llm_history\`.
1524
+
1525
+ These hooks shape what the model sees. They do not change the stored history. With \`historyLimit\` set on the prompt, the snapshot holds only the newest messages, so a hook cannot see older ones.
1526
+
1527
+ ## Errors
1528
+
1529
+ A hook that throws is logged and skipped, and the data it was given is used unchanged. One exception lets a hook stop a turn on purpose: a \`prefilter_llm_history\` hook can throw an error with \`block: true\`. No model request is sent, and the error message is shown as the assistant's reply.
1799

- ## Hook Categories
1819
-
1820
- **Transformation hooks** (return modified data):
1821
- - \`after_system_message\` (return replacement string, or null/undefined for no change)
1822
- - \`filter_messages\`
1823
- - \`prefilter_llm_history\`
1824
- - \`before_create_message\`
1825
- - \`before_update_message\`
1826
- - \`before_store_tool_result\`
1827
- - \`after_tool_call_success\` (return the \u2014 possibly modified \u2014 result; \`null\` REMOVES the tool call from history)
1828
- - \`after_tool_call_failure\` (return the \u2014 possibly modified \u2014 result; \`null\` REMOVES the tool call from history)
1829
-
1830
- **Event hooks** (side effects only):
1831
- - \`after_thread_created\`
1832
- - \`after_subagent_created\`
1833
- - \`after_create_message\`
1834
- - \`after_update_message\`
1835
-
1836
- ## Best Practices
1837
-
1838
- - **Keep hooks fast** - target <100ms execution
1839
- - **Wrap in try-catch** - hooks continue on error (original data preserved)
1840
- - **Use unique IDs** - hook IDs must be snake_case and unique across the project
1841
- - **Scope appropriately** - assign hooks to prompts or agents that need them
1842
- - **Document purpose** with clear comments
1843
- - **Use for cross-cutting concerns** - logging, redaction, enrichment
1550
+ \`before_create_message\` is the other exception: when it throws during \`state.injectMessage()\`, the message is not stored.
1844

1845
- ## Documentation
1552
+ ## User hooks
1846
1553
 
1847
- Full reference: https://docs.standardagentbuilder.com/api-reference/define/hook
1554
+ Three hooks run for a user instead of a thread. They receive a \`UserState\` (see \`agents/users/AGENTS.md\`), run for every user, and are not listed on an agent or prompt.
1848
1555
 
1849
- ## Blocking a step from a hook
1556
+ | Hook | Arguments | Runs |
1557
+ |------|-----------|------|
1558
+ | \`user_client_attached\` | \`user, client\` | A client connects to the user's event stream |
1559
+ | \`user_client_detached\` | \`user, client\` | A client disconnects |
1560
+ | \`user_value_changed\` | \`user, key\` | One of the user's durable values changes |
1850
1561
 
1851
- Hook failures are normally non-fatal (logged and ignored). A
1852
- \`prefilter_llm_history\` hook may deliberately BLOCK the step \u2014 the session
1853
- stops with a visible assistant message BEFORE any LLM request \u2014 by throwing an
1854
- error that carries \`block: true\`:
1562
+ ## Practices
1855
1563
 
1856
- \`\`\`typescript
1857
- throw Object.assign(new Error('Thread limit reached'), { block: true });
1858
- \`\`\`
1564
+ - Keep hooks fast. Request hooks run before every model request.
1565
+ - Return the value you were given when you have nothing to change.
1566
+ - Use a hook for behavior shared across prompts. Put behavior that belongs to one tool in that tool.
1567
+
1568
+ ## Documentation

- Use this for entitlement/policy gates (e.g. per-user concurrency leases).

  `;
1862
1572
 
1863
1573
  // src/docs/api.ts
1864

1574
+ var API_AGENTS_MD = `# Thread endpoints
1865
1575
 
1866
- Define custom API endpoints that operate on specific threads with access to the thread's ThreadState.
1576
+ A thread endpoint is an HTTP route that runs against one thread. Each file in this directory becomes a route under \`/api/threads/:threadId/\`, and receives that thread's \`ThreadState\`. Use endpoints to give your own front end or service access to a thread's data.
1867
1577
 
1868
- Unmatched thread endpoint paths return JSON with HTTP 404.
1869
- A method without a matching endpoint route also returns HTTP 404.
1578
+ ## Routing
1870
1579
 
1871
- ## File-Based Routing
1580
+ The file path sets the route. A suffix before \`.ts\` sets the method; a file without one answers \`GET\`.
1872
1581
 
1873
- | File Pattern | HTTP Method | Route |
1874
- |--------------|-------------|-------|
1875
- | \`name.ts\` | GET | \`/api/threads/:threadId/name\` |
1876
- | \`name.get.ts\` | GET | \`/api/threads/:threadId/name\` |
1877
- | \`name.post.ts\` | POST | \`/api/threads/:threadId/name\` |
1878
- | \`name.put.ts\` | PUT | \`/api/threads/:threadId/name\` |
1879
- | \`name.delete.ts\` | DELETE | \`/api/threads/:threadId/name\` |
1880
- | \`index.ts\` | GET | \`/api/threads/:threadId\` |
1881
- | \`nested/route.ts\` | GET | \`/api/threads/:threadId/nested/route\` |
1882
- | \`items/[id].ts\` | GET | \`/api/threads/:threadId/items/:id\` |
1582
+ | File | Method | Route |
1583
+ |------|--------|-------|
1584
+ | \`summary.ts\` | GET | \`/api/threads/:threadId/summary\` |
1585
+ | \`summary.get.ts\` | GET | \`/api/threads/:threadId/summary\` |
1586
+ | \`notes.post.ts\` | POST | \`/api/threads/:threadId/notes\` |
1587
+ | \`notes/[id].put.ts\` | PUT | \`/api/threads/:threadId/notes/:id\` |
1588
+ | \`notes/[id].delete.ts\` | DELETE | \`/api/threads/:threadId/notes/:id\` |
1883
1589
  | \`files/[*].ts\` | GET | \`/api/threads/:threadId/files/*\` |
1884
1590
 
1885
- Files without a method suffix default to GET. Method suffixes are case-insensitive and support \`.get.ts\`, \`.post.ts\`, \`.put.ts\`, \`.patch.ts\`, and \`.delete.ts\`.
1591
+ - Suffixes are \`.get\`, \`.post\`, \`.put\`, \`.patch\`, and \`.delete\`.
1592
+ - \`[name]\` matches one path segment and arrives as \`params.name\`.
1593
+ - \`[*]\` matches the rest of the path, slashes included, and arrives as \`params['*']\`.
1594
+ - A fixed route wins over \`[name]\`, and \`[name]\` wins over \`[*]\`.
1595
+ - A path or method with no matching file returns HTTP 404 as JSON.
1886
1596
 
1887
- Dynamic segments use \`[name]\` and are passed to the handler as \`params.name\`. Catch-all segments use \`[*]\` and are passed as \`params['*']\`; the catch-all value may contain \`/\` for nested paths. Static routes match before dynamic routes, and dynamic routes match before catch-all routes.
1597
+ ## Defining an endpoint
1888
1598
 
1889
- ## Basic Example
1599
+ Import \`defineThreadEndpoint\` from \`@standardagents/spec\`.

1600
 
1891
1601
  \`\`\`typescript
1892
- // agents/api/status.get.ts -> GET /api/threads/:threadId/status

  import { defineThreadEndpoint } from '@standardagents/spec';
1894
1604
 
1895
- export default defineThreadEndpoint(async (req, state, params) => {
1896
- const { messages, total } = await state.getMessages();
1605
+ export default defineThreadEndpoint(async (req, state) => {
1606
+ const { messages, total } = await state.getMessages({ limit: 5 });
1607
+
1897
1608
  return Response.json({
1898
1609
  threadId: state.threadId,
1610
+ agent: state.agentId,
1899
1611
  messageCount: total,
1900
- status: 'active',
1901
- params,
1612
+ latest: messages.map((message) => ({ role: message.role, content: message.content })),
1902
1613
  });
1903
1614
  });
1904
1615
  \`\`\`
1905
1616
 
1906
- ## Handler Parameters
1617
+ The function receives:
1907
1618
 
1908
1619
  | Parameter | Type | Description |
1909
1620
  |-----------|------|-------------|
1910
- | \`req\` | \`Request\` | The incoming HTTP request |
1911
- | \`state\` | \`ThreadState\` | Thread state with messages, identity, \`arguments\`, file system, \`runCode\`, etc. |
1912
- | \`params\` | \`Record<string, string>\` | Route parameters captured from \`[name]\` and \`[*]\` path segments |
1913
- | \`auth\` | \`ThreadEndpointAuth\` | The request's authentication context: \`caller\` (the authenticated identity, or \`null\` for anonymous requests) and \`threadAccess\` (whether the caller passes the runtime's access policy for this thread) |
1621
+ | \`req\` | \`Request\` | The HTTP request |
1622
+ | \`state\` | \`ThreadState\` | The thread. See \`agents/tools/AGENTS.md\` for its members |
1623
+ | \`params\` | \`Record<string, string>\` | Values from \`[name]\` and \`[*]\` segments |
1624
+ | \`auth\` | \`{ caller, threadAccess }\` | Who is calling, and whether they may access this thread |
1914
1625
 
1915
- ## Access Levels
1626
+ The thread is at rest while an endpoint runs, so \`state.execution\` is \`null\` and \`state.stopSession()\` is not available.
1916
1627
 
1917
- Endpoints are \`authenticated\` by default: the runtime authenticates the
1918
- request and enforces thread access before your handler runs, and \`auth.caller\`
1919
- is always present. Declare \`{ access: 'public' }\` to accept anonymous
1920
- requests \u2014 the runtime still resolves \`auth.caller\` when credentials are
1921
- presented, so one endpoint can serve both audiences:
1628
+ ## Reading a request body
1922
1629
 
1923
1630
  \`\`\`typescript
1924
- // agents/api/shared/[*].ts -> GET /api/threads/:threadId/shared/<path>
1631
+ // agents/api/notes.post.ts
1925
1632
  import { defineThreadEndpoint } from '@standardagents/spec';
1633
+ import { z } from 'zod';
1926
1634
 
1927
- export default defineThreadEndpoint(
1928
- async (req, state, params, auth) => {
1929
- if (!auth.threadAccess && !isShared(params['*'])) {
1930
- return new Response(null, { status: 404 });
1931
- }
1932
- // serve the file...
1933
- },
1934
- { access: 'public' }
1935
- );
1936
- \`\`\`
1937
-
1938
- A public endpoint is reachable by anyone who has the URL \u2014 treat it like an
1939
- internet-facing route: validate the path, reject early, and never echo
1940
- private state to anonymous callers.
1941
-
1942
- Note: \`state.execution\` is always \`null\` in endpoints since the thread is at rest. In thread endpoints, \`runCode\` forwards functions in imports, globals, and execution arguments as callable proxies. Call \`run.terminate(reason)\` to stop the sandbox. A caller disconnect also stops the run. When \`report\` is supplied, the host receives reports during the run and \`run.reports\` updates as reports arrive. \`state.emit(event, data)\` broadcasts a custom WebSocket event from endpoints as well as active executions; use it as an invalidation hint after persisting durable state, not as a replacement for reconnect recovery.
1943
-
1944
- ## ThreadState Methods
1945
-
1946
- \`getMessages()\` returns messages newest first by default. Set \`order: 'asc'\` for oldest first.
1947
- \`getMessage(id)\` finds persisted messages at any depth. It also finds pending messages from the message list. It returns \`null\` for unknown IDs.
1948
- \`updateMessage(id, updates)\` updates a persisted message. It returns the updated \`Message\`.
1949
- Updates to missing or pending messages fail before update hooks run.
1950
- Message results include \`reasoning_content\`, \`reasoning_details\`, \`prompt\`, and available subagent fields: \`subagent_id\`, \`subagent_name\`, \`subagent_title\`, \`subagent_description\`, \`subagent_status\`, \`subagent_relationship\`, \`subagent_blocking\`, \`subagent_thread_name\`, and \`subagent_spawn_group_id\`.

+ Each note has its own key. Requests to a thread endpoint can run at the same time, and \`getValue()\` followed by \`setValue()\` is two separate steps. An endpoint that read one shared list, changed it, and wrote it back could overwrite a note that another request had just added.

- ## Error Handling
2036
-
2037
- AgentBuilder returns JSON for every failed request under \`/api/\`.
2038
- The response preserves the HTTP status.
2039
- The body uses \`{ "error": { "code": "internal_error", "message": "..." }, "requestId": "..." }\`.
2040
- The \`X-Request-ID\` header matches \`requestId\`.
2041
- Failed responses use \`Cache-Control: no-store\`.
2042
-
2043
- An uncaught exception returns HTTP 500 with code \`internal_error\`.
2044
- The server log contains the exception and request ID.
2045
- The response message omits exception details.
2046
- Authentication infrastructure failures return HTTP 503 with code \`auth_unavailable\`.
2047
- Platform network failures, unexpected HTTP statuses, and invalid payloads return HTTP 502 with code \`platform_unreachable\`.
2048
- Check \`PLATFORM_ENDPOINT\` and platform availability after that error.
2049
- An explicit platform credential or membership denial uses code \`platform_auth_rejected\` during local bootstrap.
2050
- Unknown API paths return HTTP 404 with code \`not_found\`.
2051
-
2052
- Read \`error.message\` to display a failure.
2053
- Include \`requestId\` in a support report.
2054
- Returned legacy JSON errors retain their extra fields and response headers.
2055
- The router converts their \`error\` field to the structured envelope.
2056
- A legacy string error with a separate message retains its code in the envelope.
2057
- Its separate message becomes the envelope message.
2058
- WebSocket upgrades and successful responses retain their existing behavior.
2059
- This error contract is an AgentBuilder extension.
2060
-
2061
- Handlers can return domain errors with an appropriate HTTP status:
1683
+ Pass \`{ access: 'public' }\` to accept requests with no credentials. \`auth.caller\` is then \`null\` for an anonymous request, and \`auth.threadAccess\` says whether a signed-in caller may access the thread.

- ## File System Operations
1716
+ Serve thread files as downloads, as this example does. Endpoints share an origin with the builder UI and its APIs.

- ## Best Practices
1747
+ Let unexpected exceptions throw. The caller receives HTTP 500 with code \`internal_error\` and no exception details; the dev server terminal and the deployed project's logs hold the exception and the same request ID.
2097
1748
 
2098
- - **Keep handlers fast** - endpoints are in the request path
2099
- - **Paginate large queries** - use limit/offset for messages
2100
- - **Validate input data** - check request body before processing
2101
- - **Use descriptive file names** - \`export.post.ts\` not \`ep1.ts\`
2102
- - **Return proper status codes** - 200, 400, 404, 500
2103
- - **Import from spec** - use \`@standardagents/spec\` for \`defineThreadEndpoint\`
1749
+ ## Practices
1750
+
1751
+ - Validate request bodies before you use them.
1752
+ - Page large reads with \`limit\` and \`offset\`.
1753
+ - Name files for what they do: \`export.post.ts\`, not \`ep1.ts\`.
1754
+ - Keep endpoints quick. Start long work with \`state.queueMessage()\` and let the agent do it.

- Define user-scoped API endpoints \u2014 HTTP handlers that operate on a USER
2114
- (durable cross-thread state) rather than a single thread. They execute inside
2115
- the per-user hub with a serialization guarantee: at most one user endpoint
2116
- runs at a time per user, and each observes all prior completed writes. That
2117
- makes this directory the home for quotas, leases, counters, registries, and
2118
- any other user-level logic where lost updates matter.
1764
+ A user endpoint is an HTTP route that runs for one user instead of one thread. Each file in this directory becomes a route under \`/api/users/me/\`. Use user endpoints for data that spans a user's threads: preferences, quotas, counters, and registries.
2119
1765
 
2120
- Specification: https://standardagentspec.com/0.2.0/specification/users
1766
+ For one user, only one user endpoint runs at a time, and each run sees every write made by the runs before it. That makes this the safe place to check a limit and then update it.

- | \`name.post.ts\` | POST | \`/api/users/me/name\` |

1770
+ Routing follows the same rules as thread endpoints: the path sets the route, a suffix sets the method, and \`[name]\` and \`[*]\` capture segments.
1771
+
1772
+ | File | Method | Route |
1773
+ |------|--------|-------|
1774
+ | \`preferences.ts\` | GET | \`/api/users/me/preferences\` |

2132
- Routing rules match thread endpoints (method suffixes, nested directories,
2133
- \`[param]\`, \`[*]\`). Root your endpoints in a directory named for your
2134
- package so installed packages coexist. Administrators can address any user's
2135
- endpoints at \`/api/users/:id/...\`. The \`:id\` is the instance user id; an
2136
- administrator who knows only an email resolves it with
2137
- \`GET /api/users/lookup?email=<email>\` (\`{ users: [{ id, username, email, source }] }\`).

2157

  ## UserState
2159
1816
 
2160
- Handlers receive a \`UserState\`: \`userId\`, \`identity()\`, durable values
2161
- (\`getValue\`/\`setValue\`/\`listValues\`), \`env()\`, \`emit()\` (broadcast on
2162
- the user event stream at \`/api/users/me/stream\`), \`listThreads()\`,
2163
- \`fetch(grant, url, init)\` (privileged fetch through a credential grant), and
2164
- \`thread(threadId)\` (raise one of the user's threads at rest).
2165
-
2166
- \`user.identity()\` returns a \`UserIdentity\`. Its \`username\` and \`role\` fields may be absent or null.
2167
-
2168
- ## User Rooms
2169
-
2170
- A \`users/pkg/room.ts\` file may export \`defineUserRoom\` to handle hub frames
2171
- under the same per-user serialization as user endpoints. It is not HTTP-routed.
2172
- \`user.clients()\` lists admitted connections; \`user.send(clientId, frame)\`
2173
- targets one admitted client. Automatic admission preserves reconnect behavior.
2174
-
2175
- For application proofs beyond the user's transport authentication, declare
2176
- \`admission: 'explicit'\`. Pending sockets cannot displace an admitted client or
2177
- receive its targeted traffic, broadcasts or wake requests. Require both
2178
- \`user.roomAttachments\` and \`connection.attachmentId\`; fail closed if absent.
2179
- Use \`user.roomAttachments.send(connection.attachmentId, frame)\` for challenges
2180
- and replies. After verifying the application's proof, call
2181
- \`user.roomAttachments.admit(connection.attachmentId)\`; false means the socket
2182
- is gone. Reject a failed proof with
2183
- \`user.roomAttachments.close(connection.attachmentId, 4003, "Proof rejected")\`;
2184
- this closes that socket and reports its detach. Never use a client id or timestamp as the physical attachment identity.
2185
-
2186
- In explicit mode, \`onPresence\` reports every physical attach/detach, including
2187
- pending and superseded sockets, without reconnect grace. Discard challenges on
2188
- detach and application restart. Runtime hibernation preserves attachment ids
2189
- and admission; reconnect uses a new id, and restored legacy sockets start pending.
2190
- The runtime supplies admission mechanics; your room owns authentication policy.
2191
-
2192
- ## Application Roles
2193
-
2194
- Read \`(await user.identity()).roles ?? []\` to authorize application operations.
2195
- Hosted roles are assigned in Platform \u2192 project Settings \u2192 Users and pushed
2196
- to the instance. They are separate from the \`admin\`/\`user\`/\`api\` access
2197
- level and built-in permissions. Role strings are case-sensitive; their meaning
2198
- belongs to your application. A \`:*\` suffix does not match anything implicitly.

+ prompt: \`You are the guide in a new Standard Agents Builder project. You answer questions about building agents with Standard Agents Builder and about the Standard Agent Specification.
1910
+
1911
+ You have one tool, read_docs. It reads a page from the two documentation sites:
1912
+
1913
+ - Builder documentation. Its index is https://docs.standardagents.ai/llms.txt
1914
+ - The Standard Agent Specification. Its index is https://standardagentspec.org/llms.txt
1915
+
1916
+ Each index lists a Markdown URL for every page.
1917
+
1918
+ How to answer:
1919
+
1920
+ 1. For a question about the builder or the specification, read the index of the site that covers it, unless you already read it in this conversation. Then read the pages that cover the question.
1921
+ 2. Take every URL from an index or from a page you have read. Do not build a URL from memory.
1922
+ 3. Answer from what the pages say. If the pages do not cover the question, say that and name the pages you read. Do not fill the gap from memory.
1923
+ 4. Answer for version ${STARTER_SPECIFICATION_VERSION} of the specification, whose pages have /${STARTER_SPECIFICATION_VERSION}/ in their URL, unless the user names another version.
1924
+ 5. Keep the answer short. Show a complete code example when it helps. End with the URLs of the pages you used.
1925
+
1926
+ You cannot read or change the files in this project. When the user wants something built, say which files to create and what goes in them, and suggest they give that to their coding agent. The AGENTS.md file in the project root explains the project to a coding agent.
1927
+
1928
+ For a greeting or a question about yourself, reply without reading anything. Say what you can answer and offer these example questions: "How do I add a tool to a prompt?", "What is the difference between a prompt and an agent?", and "How do subagents work in the specification?"\`,
