How to Develop Agents

Following the rules below, develop a new agent to run on the AIOS.

The structure of agent-related files

author/
└── agent_name/
      │── entry.py # the entry file to run your new agents
      │── config.json # agent information, e.g., name, usage, license, etc.
      └── meta_requirements.txt # specific dependencies used for running your agent

For example, your author name is ‘example’, and you have developed an agent called academic_agent used for searching and summarizing articles. Your local folder will be like the following:

example/
   └── example_agent/
         │── entry.py
         │── config.json
         └── meta_requirements.txt

Configurations and dependencies

You are required to include a JSON file with the following attributes:

{
   "name": "name of the agent",
   "description": [
      "description of the agent functionality"
   ],
   "tools": [
      "tool names to be registered"
   ],
   "meta": {
      "author": "",
      "version": "",
      "license": ""
   },
   "build": {
      "entry": "entry file to start the agent",
      "module": "the module name of the agent"
   }
}

If your agent requires extra libraries (in addition to the AIOS-dependent libraries) to run, you must put them in the meta_requirements.txt.
