What it does

This is a deprecated compatibility stub. It does not teach the agent anything new on its own; it tells the agent to load the successor skill, agent-operated-software, which holds the maintained guidance. It exists so older OpenRig instructions that reference the former name keep working for one release before it is removed in version 0.6.0.

Great for

  • Users of older OpenRig instructions that still reference software-for-agents
  • Maintainers tracking the rename and retirement schedule

Skip it if

  • Anyone looking for new guidance: the useful content lives in agent-operated-software, not this file
  • Installing it as a standalone capability, since it only points elsewhere and will be removed in 0.6.0

Try asking

  • “Load software-for-agents to find the current agent-operated-software guidance”
  • “Follow an older OpenRig doc that names software-for-agents and get redirected”
