Agent Identity

Your agent's identity is defined in the IDENTITY template at ~/.argentos/agents/main/agent/IDENTITY.md. This shapes how the agent communicates across all channels.

Workspace

The agent workspace (default: ~/argent/) is where your agent stores files, runs code, and manages its working state. This includes:

  • DASHBOARD.md — Instructions for the dashboard protocol
  • Downloaded files and generated content
  • Task artifacts and reports

Getting Started

Get ArgentOS up and running in under 5 minutes.

Configuration

Configure ArgentOS via argent.json and environment variables.
