Integration notes#
Framework-level abstraction; derive bounded worker contracts from concrete tasks and APIs in docs/examples.
worker.md example#
Starter worker.md contract mapped from this registry entry. Copy this file and adapt schemas, constraints, and statuses for your task.

# crabtalk Repo-Derived Worker
## Repo-derived summary
- Registry summary: The long-running embedded agent
- Repository description: The long-running embedded agent
- Stars (snapshot): 745
- Primary language: Rust
- Worker mode classification: agent-orchestration-worker
## Extracted from
- https://github.com/crabtalk/crabtalk
- https://github.com/crabtalk/crabtalk/blob/main/README.md
## Evidence notes (from repository text)
- README summary paragraph: > [!WARNING] > **Heavy refactor in progress.** The CLI is being redesigned and is not in > the tree yet. Crate layout and APIs are moving with it — treat anything > written about internals as out of date until this settles.
- **Agent daemon.** Runs agents, dispatches tools, connects to MCP servers.
- The daemon owns no tools of its own. Shell, file access, skills and session
- search are [harnesses](docs/src/spec/harness.md) an agent declares — one RV64
- ELF each, reaching only what that declaration granted. MCP is a capability,
- not a harness: calling another program is not shaping an agent.
## Installation hints found in README
- No explicit package installation command detected in README text.
## worker.md contract (derived starter)
Purpose: Execute one orchestrated agent task as a bounded worker step.
### Input schema
```json
{
"type": "object",
"additionalProperties": false,
"required": [
"run_id",
"task",
"context"
],
"properties": {
"run_id": {
"type": "string"
},
"task": {
"type": "string"
},
"context": {
"type": "object"
}
}
}
```
### Output schema
```json
{
"type": "object",
"additionalProperties": false,
"required": [
"run_id",
"status",
"result"
],
"properties": {
"run_id": {
"type": "string"
},
"status": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"ok",
"retryable_error",
"invalid_request",
"invalid_output"
]
},
"result": {
"type": "object"
}
}
}
```
### Constraints
- timeout_seconds: 30
- max_attempts: 2
- idempotency_key: run_id
- status_enum: [ok, retryable_error, invalid_request, invalid_output]
- notes: adapt to concrete APIs/classes documented in this repository before production use
## How this should be used
1. Treat this file as a repo-derived starter profile, not a claim of an official repository API contract.
2. Replace schemas with exact interfaces from code/docs you adopt.
3. Keep execution bounded and auditable using worker protocol constraints.
How to use#
- Save this as a worker spec file (for example:
crabtalk-my-task.worker.md). - Replace the input/output schemas and purpose with your real bounded task.
- Enforce schema validation + timeout + retry policy in your runtime before production use.
