Instructions for zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw, covering agents.md - zeroclaw, single source of truth, safety and privacy, working rules and user-facing text.
An agent is configured as a single [agents. ] block. Every field is either a reference to something configured elsewhere or a per-agent override. The table below is generated from the config schema, so it always matches the running build. Click a field to expand it; click again to see how to set it.
A SubAgent is an ephemeral child run spawned by a parent agent that inherits the parent's identity by default: same agent alias, same SecurityPolicy, same memory allowlist, same configured model provider, same tool registry. Auditable as a child via a tracing span agent. .subagent. .
The relational half of an agent points at config; the on-disk half lives under the install root. The layout is organized by scope, not one flat tree: instance-wide state, cross-agent shared resources, and per-agent private data each get their own top-level directory.
The runtime keeps conversation history for each agent session and sends a provider-facing working history to the model. Two complementary limits operate on different representations.
This page is the architecture-depth companion to the rest of the Agents section: how the runtime enforces per-agent permissions, scopes memory, and attributes logs. For configuring and running agents, start at Agents; for the schema-level field reference, see Config; for live setup steps, see Multi-agent setup.
Agents are the star of a ZeroClaw deployment. Everything else in this book, the providers, the channels, the security profiles, the skills, the memory, exists so that an agent can use it. This section is the showcase; the rest of the docs are the credits.
Automated API testing with schema validation and load testing. Test REST and GraphQL APIs by sending requests, validating responses against schemas, checking edge cases, and reporting failures clearly.
