What software-for-agents does

software-for-agents is a compatibility redirect for older OpenRig instructions that use this identifier or describe agent-in-the-middle and studio software under its former name. It points to agent-operated-software, which contains the maintained architecture and operating guidance.

The skill is deprecated and exists to keep the old identifier working temporarily. Use the successor name in new instructions; keep the former reference only where older material still depends on it. In Claude Code, install it with npx skills add mvschwarz/openrig --skill software-for-agents -a claude-code. The skill file is at ~/.claude/skills/software-for-agents/SKILL.md.

What it helps with

  • redirect older OpenRig instructions to the maintained skill
  • keep references to the former skill identifier working
  • locate guidance for agent-operated software

Example prompts for the agent

  • Follow the old OpenRig reference to software-for-agents and use the maintained guidance.
  • This project still names software-for-agents; apply the corresponding skill.
  • Find the current guidance for agent-operated software through software-for-agents.

# Renamed to agent-operated-software

This is a one-release compatibility redirect. Load `agent-operated-software` for the maintained
architecture and operating guidance. Do not extend or copy doctrine into this file.

Retirement: remove this redirect in 0.6.0 after the 0.5.9 compatibility window. Until then, the old
identifier fails forward to the one editable body instead of silently disappearing.
