Agent Workspace Playbook

A reliable agent isn't just a system prompt. It's a consistent identity that survives context resets, a rulebook for how it navigates every situation, a memory system that distills what matters, active goals that load every session, and protocols for when things go wrong.

Agent Core provides the complete structure: every file an autonomous agent needs, with ready-to-use templates for all of them — SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, HANDOFF.md, incident logging, operating principles, escalation protocols, and the full directory layout. Setup commands, auto-loading explained accurately, and a working explanation of how the pieces fit together.

Drop in the structure. Fill in the specifics. Get an agent that holds up over time.
