Ecosystem Field Guide
A field guide for the agent era

Useful things.
Repeatable anywhere.

Small, inspected recipes for configuring your ecosystem. Give an agent a URL, choose what you need, and keep control of every change.

ONE URL IS ENOUGH

Read https://agents.scottynordstrom.org/agents.md, then use the OpenCode machine-identity recipe for this machine. Ask me for the label and color before changing anything.

The recipe shelf

01 available · plain text + reviewed source
OPENCODE · V2 · 1.0.0

Know where your agent is working.

A native, colored machine-identity footer. Execution-server identity, not a misleading label from the terminal you connected with.

[HOME · workstation agent]

Tested: Linux / OpenCode 2.2.6. Preview first. No backend restart.

BUILT TO GROW, NOT TO TAKE OVER

A library, not another control plane.

No sign-in, agent install, telemetry, or remote execution. Read with a browser or any agent that can fetch HTTPS.

Each recipe brings its own boundaries, version checks, verification, and rollback. Only completed recipes belong on the shelf.

01 / DISCOVERRead the entry point.

People get clear guides. Agents get Markdown and a small JSON catalog. No special integration required.

02 / INSPECT & CHOOSEYour instructions come first.

Review the source, pick the correct user and machine, then preview exactly what will change.

03 / APPLY & VERIFYKeep the change understandable.

Apply only what you approved. Check the real outcome and retain a bounded way back.
