A third built-in preset: the standard coding agent plus the self-referential Cordis toolset, a persona that explains the two-plane split, and a skill teaching composition authoring. It exists so a person can ask an agent to author another agent. The skill ships INSIDE the preset directory rather than in the user's skill root, and the root is derived from the preset's own `baseUrl` — the loader evaluates `!!js` with `with (ctx)`, so a composition can locate itself. A preset is the unit that gets copied and edited, so its documentation should travel with it. The skill leads with the rule that actually bites: a row publishing a service may not sit loose in a preset, whether a row publishes one is not visible from its name (`tool-bash` provides `bashEnv`), and a consumer left outside its provider's isolate group resolves the host registry and then contributes nothing — the quietest failure this design has. Writing the test surfaced a consequence worth stating: an entry-local realm makes the service invisible to the agent's own scope too, not just to the host. Only rows inside that group resolve it, which is precisely what makes `tool-skill` this agent's own rather than a shared one. The test asserts what is actually observable from outside instead of reaching for the isolated service. TRUST: `cordis_mount` evaluates model-written JavaScript against the live runtime, and a composition this agent writes becomes a preset other sessions mount. Both the preset header and the toolset's own documentation say to treat this as shell access. The tools stay opt-in per session — a test pins that they are absent from every other preset.

English | 中文
An agent preset is a directory holding one agent.cordis.yml. Mounting it under an agent's scope context gives that session its own tools and prompt sections while every other live session keeps its own, so one process can run several differently composed agents at once.

The agent persona as a composable row, so a preset can change identity and not only tools | — |
The deployment ships standard (the full coding agent), core-web (a two-tool benchmark surface), and cordis (the standard agent plus the self-referential toolset and a composition-authoring skill, so a person can ask an agent to author another agent).
The composition split this group assumes: registries and cross-session facilities are process singletons and stay in the host composition, while a preset carries what one agent contributes to them. A preset that names a row publishing a process-global service is rejected at mount rather than allowed to collide with the next session.
Design: the per-session agent-preset note.
