# Skill Documentation

Detailed description of what this skill does...

Using Skills in Ghosts

Associate skills with a Ghost by adding them to the spec.skills array:

apiVersion: agent.wecode.io/v1
kind: Ghost
metadata:
name: developer-ghost
namespace: default
spec:
systemPrompt: "You are a senior developer..."
mcpServers: { ... }
skills:
- python-debugger
- code-formatter

When a task starts with this Ghost, the Executor automatically downloads and deploys these skills to ~/.claude/skills/.

🧠 Model

Model defines the AI model configuration, including environment variables and model parameters.

Complete Configuration ClaudeCode Example

apiVersion: agent.wecode.io/v1
kind: Model
metadata:
name: ClaudeSonnet4
namespace: default
spec:
modelGroup: "Primary"
modelSubGroup: "Fast"
modelConfig:
env:
ANTHROPIC_MODEL: "openrouter,anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: "http://xxxxx"
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN: "sk-xxxxxx"
ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL: "openrouter,anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5"

Field Description

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
metadata.namestringYesUnique identifier for the Model
metadata.namespacestringYesNamespace, typically default
spec.modelGroupstringNoFirst-level display group used by model selectors
spec.modelSubGroupstringNoSecond-level display group under spec.modelGroup
spec.modelConfigobjectYesModel configuration object
spec.modelConfig.envobjectYesEnvironment variables configuration

Model Selector Grouping

Model selectors display models as modelGroupmodelSubGroup → model. These fields are stored in spec, not metadata.labels, so grouping is part of the Model resource definition. Models without these fields are shown under the default ungrouped/uncategorized buckets. Grouping only affects display and search behavior; it does not change model protocol, credentials, permissions, or runtime selection.

🐚 Shell

Shell defines the agent's runtime environment, specifying the runtime type, base image, and supported models.

Complete Configuration Example

apiVersion: agent.wecode.io/v1
kind: Shell
metadata:
name: ClaudeCode
namespace: default
labels:
type: local_engine

🖥 Device

Device defines an execution device. Device records are usually created automatically by the local executor, cloud device service, or remote Docker device entrypoint. Users normally should not create them by hand.

Remote Docker Device Example

apiVersion: agent.wecode.io/v1
kind: Device
metadata:
name: 7b7c9d64-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-3f70c6f4a931
namespace: default
displayName: alice-remote-a931
spec:
deviceId: 7b7c9d64-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-3f70c6f4a931
displayName: alice-remote-a931
deviceType: remote
connectionMode: websocket
bindShell: claudecode
isDefault: false
capabilities: null
remoteConfig:
provider: docker
image: ghcr.io/wecode-ai/wegent-device:latest
deviceId: 7b7c9d64-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-3f70c6f4a931
deviceName: alice-remote-a931
backendUrl: https://backend.example.com
publicBaseUrl: http://localhost:17888
createdAt: "2026-06-17T10:00:00"
status:
state: Available

Field Description

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
metadata.namestringYesDevice resource name, usually the same as spec.deviceId
metadata.namespacestringYesNamespace, typically default
spec.deviceIdstringYesDevice ID used by executor registration and heartbeat
spec.displayNamestringNoDisplay name in the frontend
spec.deviceTypelocal, cloud, remoteYesDevice type; remote means a user-managed Docker container or remote host
spec.connectionModewebsocketYesHow the device connects to the backend
spec.bindShellclaudecode, openclawNoShell runtime bound to the device
spec.isDefaultbooleanNoWhether this is the default device for its type
spec.capabilitiesarray or nullNoDevice capability tags
spec.cloudConfigobjectNoCloud device metadata, used only by cloud devices
spec.remoteConfigobjectNoRemote device metadata, used only by remote devices

remoteConfig stores only non-sensitive metadata. The WEGENT_AUTH_TOKEN returned in the remote Docker startup command is a newly created remote device API key and is not written to the Device CRD. backendUrl is the URL the container uses to reach Backend and is derived from the current Backend environment; publicBaseUrl is the browser-facing URL for the device session gateway.


🤖 Bot

Bot is a complete agent instance that combines Ghost, Shell, and Model.

Complete Configuration Example

apiVersion: agent.wecode.io/v1
kind: Bot
metadata:
name: developer-bot
namespace: default
spec:
ghostRef:
name: developer-ghost
namespace: default
shellRef:
name: ClaudeCode
namespace: default
modelRef:
name: ClaudeSonnet4
namespace: default

Field Description

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
metadata.namestringYesUnique identifier for the Bot
metadata.namespacestringYesNamespace, typically default
spec.ghostRefobjectYesGhost reference
spec.shellRefobjectYesShell reference
spec.modelRefobjectYesModel reference

Reference Format

All references follow the same format:

name: "resource-name"
namespace: "default"

👥 Team

Team defines a collaborative team of multiple Bots, specifying member roles and collaboration patterns.

Complete Configuration Example for ClaudeCode Model

apiVersion: agent.wecode.io/v1
kind: Team
metadata:
name: dev-team
namespace: default
spec:
members:
- role: "leader"
botRef:
name: developer-bot
namespace: default
prompt: ""
contextPassing: "previous_bot"
collaborationModel: "pipeline"

Field Description

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
metadata.namestringYesUnique identifier for the Team
metadata.namespacestringYesNamespace, typically default
spec.membersarrayYesList of team members
spec.collaborationModelstringYesCollaboration model

Member Configuration

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
rolestringNoMember role, such as leader
botRefobjectYesBot reference
promptstringNoMember-specific prompt
contextPassingstringNoMessage passed to the next pipeline stage after this stage completes: none, original_user, previous_bot, original_and_previous

Collaboration Models

ModelDescription
pipelinePipeline mode, execute in sequence
routeRoute mode, route based on conditions
coordinateCoordinate mode, members coordinate
collaborateConcurrent mode, members execute simultaneously

📚 KnowledgeBase

KnowledgeBase is used to manage document knowledge bases, retrieval configuration, and summary capabilities.

Retrieval Configuration

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
spec.retrievalConfigobjectNoRAG retrieval configuration. Missing or null means the knowledge base has no RAG configuration
spec.retrievalConfig.retriever_namestringYes*Retriever name
spec.retrievalConfig.retriever_namespacestringNoNamespace where the retriever is defined, defaults to default
spec.retrievalConfig.embedding_config.model_namestringYes*Embedding model name
spec.retrievalConfig.embedding_config.model_namespacestringNoNamespace where the embedding model is defined, defaults to default
spec.retrievalConfig.retrieval_modestringNoRetrieval mode: vector, keyword, or hybrid
spec.retrievalConfig.top_kintegerNoNumber of results to return
spec.retrievalConfig.score_thresholdnumberNoMinimum relevance threshold
spec.retrievalConfig.hybrid_weightsobjectNoHybrid retrieval weights

retriever_name and embedding_config.model_name are required only when spec.retrievalConfig exists. By default, the backend automatically fills in a missing retriever and embedding model during creation; if the create request explicitly uses no-RAG mode, or if no usable defaults are available, it does not write retrievalConfig. The create request field rag_config_mode expresses creation intent only and is not persisted as a KnowledgeBase YAML field. The persisted stable states are either a complete retrievalConfig or no retrievalConfig.

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
spec.summaryEnabledbooleanNoWhether automatic summary generation is enabled
spec.summaryModelRef.namestringNoSummary model name
spec.summaryModelRef.namespacestringNoNamespace where the summary model is defined
spec.summaryModelRef.typestringNoSummary model type: public, user, or group

Runtime Summary Fields

spec.summary is maintained by the system at runtime and is not intended to be authored directly in YAML. Common fields include:

FieldDescription
short_summaryAI-generated short summary
long_summaryAI-generated long summary
manual_long_summaryManually edited knowledge base long summary; takes priority for display and context injection
topicsAI-generated topic tags
statusSummary state: pending, generating, completed, failed
manual_updated_atLast manual summary update time
manual_updated_byLast manual summary editor

Notes:

  • Manual summary does not stop AI summary generation from continuing
  • When manual_long_summary exists, the system uses it first for UI display and chat-context injection
  • After using Restore AI Summary, the system falls back to the latest long_summary

🤝 Collaboration

Collaboration defines the interaction patterns and workflows between Bots in a Team.

Complete Configuration Example for ClaudeCode

apiVersion: agent.wecode.io/v1
kind: Collaboration
metadata:

Best Practices

1. Naming Conventions

  • Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
  • Avoid special characters and spaces
  • Names should be descriptive

2. Namespaces

  • Use default namespace by default
  • Use different namespaces in multi-tenant environments

3. Reference Management

  • Ensure referenced resources exist
  • Use the same namespace
  • Avoid circular references

4. Status Management

  • Regularly check resource status
  • Handle unavailable resources promptly
  • Monitor task execution progress

5. Configuration Validation

  • Use YAML syntax validation tools
  • Check required fields
  • Validate reference relationships
