Connect your agent
The default connection is the project’s Copy instructions flow in Dashboard. It works through Egbe’s API and project skills. Follow Start with Egbe before choosing an alternative.
What your environment needs
Section titled “What your environment needs”Use a persistent project folder where the agent can read and update files, run shell commands with Python 3.10 or newer, and make authenticated HTTPS requests. The agent must also have a project-scoped way to discover skills or read project instructions.
A local folder or a persistent remote workspace can qualify. A temporary code-execution sandbox, API access alone, or an app’s name does not establish those capabilities. Installation, native skill discovery, session logging and scheduling are separate checks.
Agent guidance and verification coverage
Section titled “Agent guidance and verification coverage”| Agent | Project skill location | Setup notes |
|---|---|---|
| Codex | .agents/skills/ |
Project-specific setup instructions. |
| Claude Code | .claude/skills/ |
Project-specific setup instructions. |
| Hermes | .agents/skills/ in the trusted project root |
Dedicated setup and logging guidance; requires the active profile and native project trust. |
| OpenCode | .opencode/skills/ |
Dedicated setup and logging guidance; discovery and plugin activation depend on the installed version. |
| OpenClaw | skills/ in the active agent workspace |
Dedicated setup and logging guidance; profile, Gateway and version matter. |
| Other agents | Their documented project location | Potential compatibility must be checked in that environment; it is not a tested integration claim. |
This coverage does not certify every version, desktop surface or launch mode. Your agent should use the current installation guide and its linked harness instructions. Egbe generally accepts an empty project folder; Hermes discovery additionally needs a Git project root.
Claude connector pilot
Section titled “Claude connector pilot”When Dashboard offers Claude only, that alternative connects through Egbe sign-in and starts setup in Claude Code or Cowork without manually copying a private key. Use the links and instructions shown for your business.
The Claude connector and plugin are a pilot. Availability depends on your business and Claude environment; full setup needs a persistent workspace. Use the standard copied-instructions path if the pilot is unavailable. Do not assume the plugin is listed in a public directory.
Keep the workspace reusable
Section titled “Keep the workspace reusable”The agent stores project credentials locally and verifies identity with the installed request helper. A copied workspace needs its own connection identity. Switching agents should reuse the project guidance and records, with the new harness connected to them. See connection details and continuity.
