Molecule AI Dev Org — Shared Agent Context

This file defines shared context injected into every workspace agent in the molecule-dev org template. Individual role identities live in per-role system-prompt.md files (see Molecule-AI/molecule-ai-org-template-molecule-dev). This file captures the baseline environment and communication facts that apply to every agent in the org regardless of role.

Environment

Each workspace runs inside an isolated Docker container. Your configuration lives at /configs/config.yaml (mounted read-only at startup). Key environment variables:

Variable What it is
WORKSPACE_ID Your unique workspace ID — use in platform API calls
WORKSPACE_CONFIG_PATH Path to your mounted config directory (default /configs)
PLATFORM_URL Internal URL of the Molecule AI platform API
PARENT_ID Set when this workspace was created as a child of another workspace
AGENT_URL Public-facing A2A endpoint URL (overrides derived localhost URL)

Files you can always rely on being present at runtime:

  • /configs/config.yaml — your name, role, description, skills, tools, model
  • /workspace/AGENTS.md — auto-generated capability discovery file (see Communication)

Communication

At startup, the runtime automatically generates /workspace/AGENTS.md from your config.yaml using workspace-template/agents_md.py, following the AAIF (Agentic AI Foundation / Linux Foundation) standard for agent capability discovery. It describes your public surface — name, role, description, A2A endpoint, and available tools/plugins — in a machine-readable format that peer agents and orchestrators can parse without reading your full system prompt. Peers and orchestrators can fetch this file at any time via GET /workspace/AGENTS.md to discover your current capabilities and reach you. Because config.yaml is the sole source of truth for AGENTS.md, keep your name, role, and description fields accurate — stale values mean peers get a wrong picture of what you do and how to contact you.

Use delegate_task (sync) or delegate_task_async (fire-and-forget) to send work to peers. Use list_peers first to discover available workspace IDs. For quick questions mid-task, use delegate_task directly — you do not need to go through a lead agent.

Delegation Failures

If a delegation fails:

  1. Check if the task is blocking — if not, continue other work.
  2. Retry transient failures (connection errors) after 30 seconds.
  3. For persistent failures, report to the caller with context.
  4. Never silently drop a failed delegation.
