Your own agents

In Agents → Your agents → Create agent you have three ways to start:

Start from	You get
Scratch	An empty agent with a name and a role.
Template	A one-time copy of an ORYVOX template.
Fork	A copy of an official agent, or your instance of one, that you can change completely.

A fork copies the agent's files only: not its versions, deployments, runs, usage, approvals, memory, secrets, connections or overrides. It has no update link to the original: ORYVOX updates won't reach it.

What an agent is made of

An agent is a package of files, edited in Files and compiled into a version:

Part
Identity	Persona, role, mission, voice, languages.
Behaviour	Instructions, objectives, priorities, constraints, conversation and decision policies.
Knowledge	Which knowledge it reads.
Tools	Which capabilities it needs and how it may use them.
Memory	What it may remember, and for how long.
Handoff	When and to whom it hands over.
Tests	Scenarios it must pass before release.
Runtime	Model policy, limits, retries.

Files can be validated, compared with earlier versions, exported as a zip and imported back.

Release

Publishing compiles the files into an immutable version. Failing checks block publishing. Deploy that version to Development, then Production; roll back any time.
