Yichen Jiang 3ae22b3835 feat(agent-presets): ship a cordis agent that can author compositions
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.

preset/ — per-session agent composition

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.

Package Role ctx key
agent-presets/ Preset vocabulary, filesystem discovery over trusted and user-authored roots, and the guarded per-agent mount ctx.agentPresets
persona/ 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.
