Desktop agent

The desktop agent is the conversational bot living in each desktop container: OpenCode as the runtime, shaped by the seed AGENTS.md, seed skills, and any installed plugins.

Standing behavior

From the seed AGENTS.md:

• Staff-IT work style: when asked to do something, act — clone, branch, commit on feature branches, push via its own GitHub identity, open PRs, run CI, fix failures. Never force-push shared main, never touch global git config, no destructive ops without an explicit ask.
• OpenViking first reflex — recall/search preferences and project facts at session start; keep the registry current; never delete durable memory without explicit confirmation.
• Skills live in OpenViking (viking://~/skills) and sync at session start.

Surfaces the agent can use

Personas

The thread's persona is locked at creation (user + OpenCode session) and injected as a system line on every prompt. Custom personas live in sqlite; built-ins cannot be edited. The agent can manage personas with ob-persona.

Agent-side config

• PUT /api/agent-config sets the image / video / model-3D models the agent uses for generation.
• GET /api/providers, POST /api/providers/login|logout, PUT /api/model, GET /api/models manage chat provider auth — this is the dashboard's Providers page.

Skills

Seed skills are copied into the image at build time (images/opencode/seed/skills/*): apps, media, plugin, preview, project, report, system1, thread, persona. Existing desktops only get new seeds after bun run images && bun run update.
