Task-oriented guides for common operations in protoWorkstacean.
Available guides
| Guide | Description |
|---|---|
| Add an agent | Register an in-process agent (YAML + DeepAgentExecutor / LangGraph) or an external A2A agent |
| Build an A2A agent | Agent-author recipe: the endpoint, task lifecycle, hardening, automatic health, and scheduled work |
| Extend an A2A agent | Opt in to the x-protolabs extensions pack (cost, confidence, effect-domain, blast, hitl-mode) — richer observability + HITL with minimal card changes |
| Create a ceremony | Schedule a recurring fleet ritual — a skill dispatched on a cron expression |
| External bus subscribers | Join the in-process event bus over a WebSocket — observability tools, sidecars, multi-node bridging |
| Deploy with Docker | Production deployment: Docker Compose, env vars, workspace volume mount, health check |
Where to start
If you have just completed the Getting Started tutorial, the natural next guides are:
- Add an agent — bring your own agent into the fleet
- Build an A2A agent — opinionated recipe for writing the agent itself (endpoint, task lifecycle, hardening, automatic health)
- Create a ceremony — schedule recurring work
