agent-operated-software skillA

agent-operated-software is agent-read markdown (skill) from mvschwarz/openrig: Use when designing, building, operating, or diagnosing an ongoing application whose live backend or control loop includes OpenRig agents, including applications with a Markdown, YAML, or JSON agent control plane or a thin surface over specialist agent roles..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent-Operated Software

**Agent-Operated Software** is an ongoing application whose functioning runtime includes an OpenRig
agent or rig in its live backend or control loop. The application surface can be thin: structured
state and specialist roles do the work, while the UI makes that work legible and steerable.

## Start with the shared taxonomy

- **AI-enabled software:** application code owns the control loop and calls a model as one capability.
- **Agent-Operated Workflow:** an agent owns one bounded procedure with a start and stop condition;
  see `agent-operated-workflows`.
- **Agent-Operated Software:** agents participate in an ongoing application's functioning runtime.

An application may compose many Agent-Operated Workflows. A bounded workflow does not by itself make
its surrounding product Agent-Operated Software, and a model call is neither category unless an agent
owns part of the control loop.

## Agents are part of the backend

In this architecture, behavior is not located only in functions. It is distributed across agents,
skills, instructions, bootstrap files, schemas, Markdown, YAML, JSON, folders, and deterministic
…
