A guide for installing gitagent and creating a first software agent with configuration, identity, validation, and launch files. It also explains how to share the agent through Git.

Use it to install gitagent, scaffold a minimal, standard, or full agent, configure it, validate it, run it with Claude, and share it from a Git repository.

It gives newcomers a defined path from installation to a working agent, including checks that the required files are present and valid.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00060	$0.00455
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.00228
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00091
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00046

Security

Grade A, and why

get-started scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Get Started with gitagent

When to Use

When a user is new to gitagent, wants to set up their first agent, or asks "how do I start?"

Instructions

Installation

npm install -g @open-gitagent/opengap
opengap --version

Create Your First Agent

Walk the user through these steps:

Scaffold — Pick a template:

# Minimal (2 files)
opengap init --template minimal --dir ./my-agent

# Standard (with skills, tools, knowledge)
opengap init --template standard --dir ./my-agent

# Full (compliance, hooks, memory, workflows)
opengap init --template full --dir ./my-agent

Edit — Customize agent.yaml (name, description, model) and SOUL.md (identity, personality)
Validate — Check your work:
```
opengap validate -d ./my-agent
```
Run — Launch with Claude:
```
opengap run -d ./my-agent
```

Share — Push to git and anyone can run it:

cd my-agent && git init && git add . && git commit -m "Initial agent"
# Push to GitHub, then:
opengap run -r https://github.com/you/my-agent

Minimum Required Files

agent.yaml — name, version, description (required)
SOUL.md — agent identity (required)
Everything else is optional

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
