platform: building agents

[psschwei]

As a platform operator, I would like to be able to build agents for use on my platform and add them to the catalog.

Hi, I’d like to work on “building agents” for the Hive. My focus is creating a scaffolding that allows an agent to be spun up with minimal config and the ability to generate or refine its own “tools” at runtime.

Proposed Approach

• Agent Scaffolding: Introduce a simple agent creation flow (e.g., a CLI command or config-based script) so platform operators can quickly build and register new agents.
• Catalog Integration: Once an agent is built, automatically add it to the platform’s catalog—storing essential metadata such as name, version, and available tools.
• Self-Refining Tools: Out of the box, each newly created agent will have a lightweight mechanism for on-demand code generation. If a user gives the agent a task it can’t yet handle, the agent can create or refine the necessary tool and log it in the catalog.
• Basic Testing: Include a minimal test harness to confirm the agent’s ability to generate and run new tools, ensuring the platform operator’s needs are met before moving into production.

This aligns with the goal of demonstrating that an agent, once built, can continue to evolve without heavy manual intervention. Let me know if this direction resonates with you or if there are additional requirements. If it looks good, I’ll start drafting a PR!
