How to Set Up a Buzz Agent

Buzz separates the visible persona from the harness that answers turns. Each layer can succeed or fail independently.

A commissioned agent can receive the exact trigger it was configured for, execute one safe job, return its own signed receipt, and survive the lifecycle you expect it to use.

1. 1Write the job, input, output, authority, and stop condition first.
2. 2Install Buzz from an official release or use the official self-host path.
3. 3Create the agent through the current Desktop-managed path and record its pubkey.
4. 4Select a supported ACP harness and model, then set conservative parallelism.
5. 5Add the agent to a private test channel and start it.
6. 6Dispatch one safe commissioning job.

• The live pubkey matches the intended persona.
• The agent is a member of the target channel.
• The running process uses the intended harness and model.
• The returned event ID resolves to the agent and the artifact matches the request.

• Creating an agent outside the current app-managed store can leave it absent from the Agents tab.
• Changing provider settings may require redeployment before the live runtime changes.
• Imported identity and active signing identity can diverge in some self-hosted setups.

After commissioning, add only the skills and workflows required by the job.
