Agents
Agent files package a full mini-a configuration — model, tools, rules, persona — into a single portable .agent.md file.
# Run an agent file
mini-a agent=my-agent.agent.md goal="your goal here"
# Print a starter template
mini-a --agent > my-agent.agent.md
See the mini-a agent file docs for the full frontmatter reference.
