Transcript

0:00Same brain, same skill format -- agents face inward, humanoids face the world.

0:03Launch rysh and drop into rysh mode. Let's spawn one of each and compare them side by side.

0:09An agent is an internal worker -- no terminal, no external reach. Perfect for reviewing code or running tasks inside the workspace.

0:17A humanoid is the same agent plus external channels. Same skill file format -- it just adds a contacts block.

0:25And the at-sign and double-at-sign prefixes work for both -- Rysh resolves the name across both registries automatically.

0:34Agents are your internal team; humanoids are your public face. One format, two reaches.

Key takeaway
Agents are internal workers; humanoids are external-facing; they share the same skill format (plus contacts: for humanoids) and the same @/@@ interaction.
