elizaOS
elizaOS is the plugin-based agent runtime that Eliza builds on top of.
Read These References First
references/core-abstractions.md for the runtime mental model and message flowreferences/plugin-development.md for plugin extension points and implementation patterns
Use This Skill When
- a change touches
eliza/
- you need to reason about
AgentRuntime
- you are implementing or debugging actions, providers, evaluators, services, or model handlers
- you need the correct plugin lifecycle instead of guessing from Eliza wrappers
Working Rules
- Treat the TypeScript runtime in
eliza/packages/typescript/src/ as the primary reference implementation.
- Prefer elizaOS-native abstractions over product-specific wrappers when reasoning about upstream behavior.
- Remember the split between persistent
Memory and ephemeral State.
- Remember that plugins are the main composition mechanism.
