Transcript

0:00One command, one prompt, and your agent is alive.

0:03Launch rysh and double-press Escape into rysh mode to run the agent system commands.

0:08Use ##agent spawn, then a name, then the system prompt in quotes. That prompt defines the agent's whole personality and job.

0:18Spawn as many as you need. Here's a second agent for writing tests.

0:28Then ##agent list shows every agent with its current status -- active, deactivated, or working a prompt right now.

0:40Spawn, name, prompt, list. That's the whole lifecycle of an agent.

Key takeaway
##agent spawn <name> <system-prompt> creates an agent inline, and ##agent list shows every agent's status.
